Jan 3. The guy who we were told invited a mob to overturn the results of the election is quoted by the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff as having said to make it "safe".
The people tasked with the job of making it "safe" apparently had other concerns.
The people tasked with making Minneapolis "safe" in the summer of 2020 apparently had better ideas also.
Cities across the country saw what we were told were 'mostly peaceful protests'. We were told that the destruction and deaths were simply a side effect of rightful grievances. It was all ok then.
Intelligence knew that people similar to those who caused the death and destruction in the summer of 2020 may be present on Jan 6. Trump knew too.
"At 3:04pm, Miller provided verbal approval to Secretary McCarthy for immediate deployment of the DCNG. What was Secretary McCarthy doing between receiving this approval, and 5:08pm, when the order eventually reaches the D.C. National Guard? Why didn’t he communicate this approval for a full two hours?
At 3:18pm, Secretary McCarthy told Congressional Democrat Leadership that the DC National Guard had the “green light” and “is moving”. Two hours would pass before Secretary McCarthy’s deployment order would ACTUALLY be communicated to the DCNG.
In these vital hours, the DCNG had been trying but was unable to reach Secretary McCarthy.
DCNG Adjutant General Aaron Dean: “[Walker] tried to call Secretary McCarthy three times between 2:30 and 5pm. He said, ‘I haven’t heard from him all day.’ When he tried to call his cell phone, it went straight to voicemail.”

" The Pentagon has authorized up to 25,000 National Guard members for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, the National Guard Bureau said in a press release Friday, marking an increase from the 21,000 troops authorized a day earlier."
"The National Guard will have more than strength in numbers. The Department of Defense announced Tuesday that National Guard members will be armed as they are supporting US Capitol security in Washington, DC, ahead of Inauguration Day."
"Capt. Chelsi Johnson, spokesperson for the DC National Guard, said in a statement to CNN that the move was requested by federal authorities and authorized by Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy. The first wave of National Guard troops who arrived at the Capitol were unarmed."
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/15/politics/pentagon-national-guard-inauguration/index.htmlExcuse me, but wtf is the President of the United States/Commander in Chief other than a "federal authority" who is quoted as saying to have "sufficient National Guard or Solders to make sure it's a safe event."
".... do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe."
