| DOD ‘Intentionally Delayed' National Guard Deployment To The Capitol On Jan. 6 |
| 2024-11-22 |
| [Federalist] Federal bureaucrats within the Department of Defense (DoD) delayed the deployment of the National Guard on Jan. 6, 2021 and covered it up, according to a House Republican investigation of government conduct related to the Capitol riot. On Thursday, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who is leading a review of the work completed by the partisan Jan. 6 probe run by then-Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, sent a letter to the inspector general for the Department of Defense demanding a correction to an agency report published in November 2021. "This report was the final product of the DoD IG’s review into the events of January 6, and reviewed how the DoD responded to requests for support as the events unfolded," Loudermilk, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the House Administration Committee, wrote. "Throughout the Subcommittee’s extensive investigation into the failures of January 6, 2021, we have discovered numerous flaws and inaccuracies in the report that your office has yet to appropriately address." Such flaws and inaccuracies, however, may have been part of a partisan cover-up after GOP lawmakers discovered the Pentagon was responsible for delays in guard deployment. "After a thorough examination of emails and documents, including letters, memorandums, agreements, plans, orders, reports, briefings, statements made in congressional hearings, closed-door testimony to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (’Select Committee’), and closed-door testimony made to the DoD IG," Loudermilk wrote, "the Subcommittee’s investigation has concluded that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the DC [National Guard] to the Capitol on January 6, 2021." "Furthermore," Loudermilk added, "the Subcommittee also maintains that the DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership." |

| #4 And the commie bastards happened to have a film crew in the Capital that day, shooting a documentary. How convenient, as the SNL Church Lady used to say. |

| #3 They sent the help by a circuitous route that approximates JEB Steward path to Gettysburg. The people that conspired to do that ought to be held accountable. |

| #2 An assault or 'open door tour' on the capital was the intended outcome. Destroying Trump in the courts with a false insurrection charge was the goal. |
