Liz Cheney, January 6 Committee Suppressed Exonerating Evidence Of Trump's Push For National Guard

One of the jobs of the January 6 select committee was to investigate the security failures that led to the breach of the Capitol. The committee put together a video, with the help of an ABC producer, that showed the very worst of the riot. In the footage that's been released since the committee dissolved, we've seen the Capitol Police escorting the "QAnon Shamen" into the building. The committee held back a whole lot. Mollie Hemingway reports that President Donald Trump had requested 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6, but D.C.'s mayor turned him down. Liz Cheney & the J6 Committee concealed evidence that President Trump offered to send 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the US Capitol. The offer was rejected by the DC Mayor.

Hemingway writes: Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows. Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now. …

[Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato] also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021. Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021. Not only did the committee not accurately characterize the interview, they suppressed the transcript from public review. On top of that, committee allies began publishing critical stories and even conspiracy theories about Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him. Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House.

The January 6 committee suppressed evidence? As we said above, they were supposed to investigate security failures, but by the end of their tenure, they dropped all that to focus on Trump's direct incitement of the riot. Wow. It has now become even more obvious that they WANTED people to break into the Capitol. They definitely didn't want Congress debating evidence of election fraud and unconstitutional election law changes. -- Kash Patel: “These are the mistakes, intentional or otherwise, that led to Jan 6. We had offered the Capitol Police and Mayor Bowser of Washington DC, thousands of National Guard's men and women - two days before Jan 6 - AND THEY TURNED US DOWN.”
