Trump Pentagon first offered National Guard to Capitol four days before Jan. 6 riots, memo shows

The Pentagon first raised the possibility of sending National Guard troops to the U.S. Capitol four days before the Jan. 6 riots, setting in motion a series of rejections by Capitol Police and Democrats that left Congress vulnerable as threats of violence were rising, according to government memos that validate Trump administration officials' long-held claims.

An official timeline of the Jan. 6 tragedy assembled by Capitol Police shows that a Defense Department official reached out to a Capitol Police deputy chief, Sean Gallagher, on Jan. 2, 2021 to see if a request for troops was forthcoming, but the offer was quickly rejected after a consultation with then-Chief Steve Sund.

"Carol Corbin (DOD) texts USCP Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher, Protective Service Bureau, to determine whether USCP is considering a request for National Guard soldiers for January 6, 2021 event," the timeline reads in the lone entry listed for Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021.

The following morning, the timeline states, "Gallagher replies to DOD via text that a request for National Guard support not forthcoming at this time after consultation with COP Sund."

The rejection came as the Capitol Police department was beginning to change its assessment, recognizing that the massive Trump rally to protest the November 2020 election results planned for Jan. 6, 2021 had the potential for violence.

Earlier analyses suggested such violence was unlikely and the Jan. 6 event was likely to be “similar to the previous Million MAGA March rallies in November and December,” police records show

For instance, Capitol Police had determined that as of Dec. 16, 2020 there was "no information regarding specific disruptions or acts of civil disobedience targeting this function."

But by late December, Capitol Police internal emails and documents show, information began flowing in that some groups expected to attend were talking on social media or fringe websites about tactics like blocking tunnels leading to the Capitol.…

It’s about time that this document got released. This was being discussed earlier than I knew of but investigative reporters knew better. This is exactly the kind of counter programming the msm and democrats hoped we’d never see.

 

Had the Mayor of DC, the capitol police, and Pelosi not turned down the national guard, nothing bad would have happened on 1-6. Makes one think some deep state Dems wanted it to happen.

 

Sad that republicans now argue it’s the fault of security they tried to topple democracy.
Shop lifters should try that. I only stole the TV because you had such fat slow security guards., so really it’s on you!

 

It is astonishing how far they will defend traitors to the Nation.

 

There are several folks who have been suggesting for over a year now that democrats were part of the crowd and incited much of the behavior we saw that day. FBI informants, democratic operatives, it all seems to have been designed to create a specific impression of that day. The TV fantasy tonight will likely be the next chapter in the fiction.

 

Soros DAs have ensured that folks who shoplift, steal, assault, and even kill others walk free these days. Perhaps you need to realign that comment of yours.

 

There is something rotten in the DP/FBI.

“Caserta's defense lawyer Mike Hills celebrated his client's acquittal and blamed overly aggressive FBI informants.

“I think what the FBI did is unconscionable," Hills told reporters outside court. “And I think the jury just sent them a message loud and clear.”

LOL, of course rightists and trumpists believe that conspiracy horseshit. Quintessential victims to their dying days. LOL

 

LMAO.

Yall just can't help it, can ya?

 

Do you call yourself a "progressive"?

"FBI reports on Ralph Abernathy, Coretta King, Seymour Hersh, Sammy Davis, Jr., Cesar Chavez, and others we're transmitted in thousands of dispatches sent to the Justice Department and fed into IDIU computers for storage and analysis. The FBI and the Justice Department provided information to the IRS for its "enemies project." The FBI sent its information to the CIA, the Secret Service, and Military Intelligence. They in turn, sent information to the bureau. By 1972, the intelligence agencies of the government, with the FBI at the center, had placed the political left and a large part of the Democratic party under surveillance."

Really?
There are (also) several folks who have been suggesting for over a year now that Bigfoot was part of the Conspiracy on Jan. 6th.
Apparently, there has been alot of Delusional Info floating around?
Glad that they are having the hearings.

 

Every time one of the plots democrats hatch is uncovered, suddenly the lefties start calling them conspiracies.... It makes it apparent that the trail is the right one...

 

Golly, and what hearings they will be huh? TV producer and all, you know, to "produce" the spectacle... LOL. Y'all think that Hollywood is going to save you now?

 

Bank robber in court: "It's the bank's fault I robbed them because they didn't have enough security"
Trump supporter "Makes sense to me, dismissed!"
And after reading your post, it appears that some people dropped the ball, particularly the sergeant's of arms for the Senate and House. But, who else dropped the ball? This article makes it clear that Trump KNEW there could be violent people acting on his behalf, but still egged them on, and, one time, said the word "peaceful", after relentlessly repeating things to stir it up, then sat back and watched it unfold.
There were a lot of mistakes made that day, and the days leading up to it.
Still doesn't excuse the behavior of the Trump supporters.
The only ones who wanted it to happen was Trump and his supporters.
Ask yourself this, what would the "deep state Dems" have to gain from it? They had already won.

 

Is BuzzFeed News supposed to be into "rightists and trumpists" "conspiracy horseshit"?

“When federal officials announced, on Oct. 8, 2020, that they had foiled a plot by militant extremists to kidnap Michigan’s governor, it was quickly hailed as one of the most important domestic terrorism prosecutions in a generation. They didn't mention FBI agent Jayson Chambers by name, but those who had worked the case knew that his role helping to run a central informant had been crucial.

There was, however, something about Chambers that some colleagues might not have known: 18 months earlier, he’d incorporated a private security firm and had spent much of 2019 trying to drum up business — in part by touting his FBI casework. …

A continuing BuzzFeed News investigation reveals new information about how Chambers' business, along with an array of issues involving other FBI agents and informants, has bedeviled the prosecution. Those issues may well affect the course of the trial. But beyond the integrity of the case, the problems are serious and widespread enough to call into question tactics the FBI has relied on for decades — and to test the public’s trust in the bureau overall.

BUZZFEED NEWS, The FBI Investigation Into The Alleged Plot To Kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Has Gotten Very Complicated, The case seemed like a lock — until an informant and one FBI agent were charged with crimes, another was accused of perjury, and a third was found promoting a private security firm. And that wasn’t all. , By Jessica Garrison and Ken Bensinger, December 16, 2021.

Focus: FBI agents and informants have been charged with crimes.

 

Another DP/RINO show trial.
Election must be coming.

 

Means nothing at all. They didn't think yet another Trump rally was going to result in an attempt to take over of the capitol. Shocker.

 

When you call off the police bad things happen, weren’t you alive for Ferguson, Baltimore and the summer of mostly peaceful riots? And what’s sad is your constant inability to address the issues and instead bring up gotcha statements and zingers.

 

Your point is you wanna be like Soros?

 

I’m just replying to the stupidity posted here.

 

“Address the issues”?? That’s your attempt at irony, right…?

This thread is about the insurrection at the Capitol, in case you hadn’t noticed…!

But don’t be too concerned….Fox’s ‘Ostrich Head in the Sand’ campaign has your back…..

 

We didn’t do it, actually, federal under cover agents instigated 3rd party perps having nothing to do with the party

 

We aren’t defending democrats or Biden

 

The cops made me riot! Lol
