J6 Bombshell: Trump Didn't Just Offer Military to Protect Capitol, He Ordered It but Was Disobeyed

[MSN] On the eve of former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
's return to power, a new report is turning the story of the 2021 Capitol incursion on its head.

For four years, a Democratic-run "select" committee on Jan. 6, anti-Trump Republicans, and the establishment media have blamed Trump for the violence in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, but the report released Tuesday accused Trump's acting defense secretary at the time, Christopher Miller, of defying Trump's specific orders.

It's the very first finding of the report, and it paints a scathing picture of Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
's "select" committee -- and former Rep. Liz Cheney

...dynastic pseudo-Republican politician from Wyoming, daughter of Richard Cheney. She was a part of the farcicle January 6th bipartisan committee, which resulted in over 1200 political prisoners being tossed into an American gulag. Cheney was roundly trounced in the next election, but that didn't let the prisoners out, did it? She will kept her pension....
's role in the whole affair.

The report, "On the Failures and Politicization of the January 6 Select Committee," cited transcripts from interviews conducted by the Department of Defense Inspector General into the events surrounding the incursion.

In an interview with the IG, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, a now-retired Army general, described Trump's words at a Jan. 3, 2021, meeting to prepare for the meeting of Congress to certify the results of the still-disputed 2020 election.

Milley summed up Trump's statement as:

"Hey, I don't care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe."

To most Americans, that would sound like an order from a commander in chief to his subordinate, but Miller told Nancy Pelosi's rigged Jan. 6 Committee that he chose to consider it "banter," the report noted on page 69.

Was it not his duty, then, to ask the question and get clarity? When you assume…

In fact, he told the IG interviewers, according to page 68 of the report: "There was absolutely -- there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. Military forces at the Capitol.''

In addition, Miller told the Jan. 6 committee that he was influenced by a commentary piece published by The Washington Post on Jan. 3, 2021, signed by all 10 living former defense secretaries, calling on Miller by name to "refrain from any political actions that undermine the results of the election or hinder the success of the new team."

#1 Milley treated J6 with all the seriousness and professionalism that we saw in Afghanistan.

#2 "Hey, I don't care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe."

I see no ambiguity in that statement.

#3 How and why was this not leaked sooner? Well, I imagine the answer encompasses a genuine conspiracy. Yep, a real, live bunch of criminals framing a former President and jailing his supporters.

#4 I really believe once he's convicted of treason, he should be burned at the stake on the white house lawn.

#5 Wasn't Trump systematically fed misinformation about troop deployments during the last year of his term, effectively removing him from the position of CiC?

Ignoring orders given by a person who was de facto no longer recognized as command authority would have been logically consistent.

#7 "Hey, I don't care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe."

Banter isn't something that matches the context, and clearly is cover for disobedience in this case! Trump was expressing his intent, and clearly by including the Guard, addressing the Posse Comitatus aspect of the issue...

Commanders Intent defined:

"Commander's intent is a key principle of the Army's mission command approach to command and control. It's a clear description of the desired end state of an operation, and it's the unifying focus for all subordinate elements.
Here are some components of commander's intent:
Expanded purpose: The greater purpose of the operation and its relation to the entire force
Key tasks: The activities the force must perform to achieve the desired end state
Conditions: The conditions that define the end state
Commander's intent is critical because it:
Helps communicate the vision clearly
Links the mission, concept of operations, and tasks to subordinate units
Allows subordinate commanders to make decisions that fit within the higher commander's intent"

Recall Milley and let the wailing begin.
