Inside Liz Cheney’s Coordinated Effort To Prevent Troop Deployment Before Jan. 6

Days before the Capitol riot provoked a years-long effort to impeach, prosecute, and politically malign former President Donald Trump, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney coordinated efforts to deter the very actions she now claims haunt the former president.

Cheney has blamed Trump for not ordering the National Guard to defend the Capitol complex, even though multiple sources confirm that he authorized their deployment days prior to the Jan. 6 rally at the White House and riot at the Capitol. Security officials in charge of the Capitol declined to call up troops to protect it, government records show.

Yet Cheney herself seems to have orchestrated opposition to use of the military to quell election-related unrest, allegedly organizing a Washington Post op-ed on Jan. 3, 2021, signed by every living former defense secretary.

“All 10 living former defense secretaries: Involving the military in election disputes would cross into dangerous territory,” the headline read. It went on to threaten any military official who thought any use of the military might be a good idea. “Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic,” the op-ed warned.

The op-ed was allegedly organized by Cheney, whose father was secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush before serving as President George W. Bush’s vice president. Eric Edelman, a national security adviser to Dick Cheney, told the New Yorker the Wyoming lawmaker “was the one who generated” the piece for the Post.

Yet one of her biggest false charges against Trump was he didn't provide for troops on Jan 6. He in fact did.

He in fact didn't. The only person who has said he did anything towards that is Trump...who has not testified under oath.

"I was never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature," former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller says in the video.

• "There was no direct, there was no order from the president."
• "We obviously had plans for activating more folks, but that was not anything more than contingency planning," Miller adds. "There was no official message traffic or anything of that nature."

President Trump also failed to act for over three hours, while the Capitol was under siege.

Blame everyone except the person responsible for the insurrection.

Typical trumptard.

An Op-Ed is not a "coordinated effort" to do anything except give an opinion

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Trump did not order the National Guard to maintain order at the Capitol. He authorized their use, leaving the final call to Speaker Pelosi’s Sergeant at Arms. Unfortunately the option provided by President was declined by House leadership.

Off topic a little, not wanting to start a new thread. For the last three months I've been wondering that after 18 months on the job how does Biden intends to arm Taiwan. He dragged his feet and now that window is permanently closed.

And declined by the Mayor of DC as well. Both her and Pelosi have the last say on what happens in the city and on Capitol Hill which is a separate branch of government.

Trump did no such thing. He only claims that he did.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Trump did no such thing. He only claims that he did.

According to Chief of Staff of the Department of Defense Kash Patel, “Mr. Trump unequivocally authorized up to 20,000 National Guardsmen and women for us to utilize.” Acting Secretary Christopher Miller confirmed it.

Yes they did. They lied.

So Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund lied too?

Too bad he resigned rather than choosing to defend his honor, huh?

well, if there's any meat in his salad, he can testify under oath, just like Cheeto could.

 

[YDB95]

Wrong. The Speaker of the House has no say whatsoever in whether or not to call in the National Guard. The Mayor has the right to request that the commander in chief mobilize them, but she can't veto his decision to do so.

As does McConnell. Why do you omit his name from your blame?

Sure are a lot of scrotes in this thread that are experts on DC Home Rule and City/Federal jurisdiction.

Wait... I'll find a link and join a side.

The President did in fact offer 20,000 national guard troops to the City of DC and the Capitol, That was confirmed by the Pentagon Chief of Staff and the SecDef. Bowser refused the offer and so did Pelosi. The President does not police the Capitol or run the Legislative branch of government. Neither Bowser or Pelosi requested troops.

What was said under oath was not a confirmation of the above.

So Trump's minions lied for him. Big surprise. There is no evidence whatsoever that he "offered" any troops, and Pelosi wouldn't have had any standing to refuse the offer had he done so.
