On January 6, did America’s highest-level military officers willfully disobey their Commander in Chief?
By Andrea Widburg
Even the January 6 committee eventually conceded that President Trump had authorized the National Guard to be deployed on January 6. However, as events unfolded at the Capitol, the National Guard was nowhere to be seen. It showed up hours later, only after the situation was such that Trump and his supporters were tarred as “insurrectionists” and targeted for arrests. Now, a whistleblower has come forward to allege that one of Trump’s problems was that military leadership, starting with Mark Milley, made the deliberate decision to ignore Trump’s order. That’s court-martial stuff, along with the possibility of domestic terrorism and, ironically, insurrection.
Whenever thousands of people descend on a city, there should be a large police force in place. And when hundreds of thousands come to D.C. to complain about an election outcome, the National Guard should be there. And yet the troops weren’t. Here’s what we know.
Despite being warned about potential agitators and violence, Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser refused to put the National Guard on standby. We also know that even the improperly convened, hyper-partisan, and corrupt January 6 committee acknowledged that Trump approved deploying the National Guard days before the event, greenlighting its immediate deployment in case things got out of hand.
