Jan 6 committee allegedly suppressed testimony showing Trump admin pushed for National Guard presence: report

The Jan. 6 congressional committee allegedly falsely claimed it did not have evidence that showed former President Trump’s administration requested National Guard assistance, according to a report detailing a "hidden transcript" that was recently released.


"The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld Mr. Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative. Mr. Ornato’s testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along: President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down," Georgia Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk said in a statement on Friday.

Loudermilk released a transcript of former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s interview with the congressional committee investigating Jan. 6 on Friday, following The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway, also a Fox News contributor, reporting, "Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence" that the Trump administration pushed for 10,000 National Guard members to be on the streets.

Ornato’s interview was conducted in January 2022 and attended by Cheney, among other members on the committee. In addition to serving as deputy chief of staff under Trump, Ornato served in the Secret Service for decades.

The committee, which included seven Democrats and two now-former Republican Congress members, Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, concluded that it found "no evidence" that the Trump administration called for 10,000 National Guard members to Washington, D.C., to protect the Capitol.

Trump has long claimed that he requested the National Guard but that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., failed to act on the request. Amid and following the congressional committee’s investigation, media outlets such as the Washington Post "debunked" Trump’s comments, repeatedly awarding him "Four Pinocchios."

Loudermilk on Friday released a transcript of Ornato’s interview with the committee that details how he allegedly overheard then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows asking D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as much protection for D.C. as she needed.....

There it is folks proof that Trump authorized 10,000 National Guard to protect the Capitol but the Dems turned them down. OKing the National Guard isn't something an insurrectionist would do.

The Democrats had no authority to turn down the DC National Guard, nor any National Guard in Republican states. Nor did the Democrats have any authority to turn down moving the National Guard between states. That was all trump's decision, and solely trump's decision.

Marti, is there a difference between "pushed for" and "authority to do so"?

Only the President has authority to call out the DC National Guard. The Speaker of the House has no more say than does Taylor Swift.
 
Standard prosecutorial misconduct...standard practice for the left; remember the outrageous crimes of the Mueller probe?

Yes, kind of a key fact.

Wouldn't be surprising if Trump said he asked Nancy Pelosi to call out the Guard, just idiotic. He would be cutting his legal throat by admitting the Guard should have been called out and he failed to do it.
 
IF THE FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT, TRUMP, HAD WANTED TO QUELL THE INSURRECTIONIST RIOT TAKING PLACE AT OUR NATION'S CAPITOL...

...HE WOULD SIMPLY HAVE TOLD HIS MORONIC FOLLOWERS TO STOP AND GO HOME WHEN THE RIOTING HE INSTIGATED STARTED.

No need for the National Guard. He could have stopped the nonsense immediately with a simple message. His asskisser's always follow his dictates.

Stop the bullshit, Trump asskissers.

Good point. trump is admitting the Guard should have been called out. Add to that the fact that only he had the authority to do so, and he clearly is admitting guilt.

That is such bullshit, even you should be able to see through it, Dog.

It was obvious to anyone with a brain that Trump wanted the crowd to go to the Capitol and disrupt the largely ceremonial counting of the Electoral College vote.

There was absolutely no way that could happen in a "peaceful" context.

The call for a "peaceful" protest was to give his fat ass cover. Trump's fat ass is a useful commodity for him. It is the place most of his supporters place their kisses.

So you think Trump could control the crowd when it was seeded by instigators of the FBI and Pelosi.

Well, let me correct you on that. Taylor Swift runs the universe. At least to hear the Trump cult tell it.

If you smell stink, EL...it is coming from yourself...not me. That stink is coming from you...and probably originates with the stench of your politican and ethical stances.
 
Of course, the stink may be coming from Trump's asshole. Trump's asshole is not a good place to have your head, EL. By now, you should realize that.
