| Trump Confirms He Called For 10,000 National Guard For Jan 6th...Pelosi refused |
| 2021-03-03 |
| [NationalPulse] President Donald Trump has confirmed reports he requested 10,000 National Guard troops ahead of the January 6th rally in Washington, D.C., only to be rebuffed by authorities. Speaking Steve Hilton on "The Revolution," the former president outlined how he knew in advance of the crowd size: "Everyone said we’ll be at the rally. It was, I think, the largest crowd that I have ever spoken to before. I have spoken to big crowds, hundreds of thousands of people, more than that, but hundreds of thousands of people." In response, Trump said he "gave the number" to the Department of Defense, insisting that 10,000 members of the National Guard would be needed. "They took that number, from what I understand, they gave it to people at the Capitol, that is controlled by Pelosi, and I heard they rejected it because they didn’t think it would look good," added Trump in the interview after his Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech. |

| #5 Since we are on, what, week 8 of "2 weeks to secure the capital" might be fun to start rattling War Powers Resolution. Nothing say Trust the Government and Turn in your Firearms like Demonstration Parades, armed troops, razor wire, and purity purges. And say what you want about HOAs, at lest the walls built in those look good. |

| #3 The top of the Capital Police apparently brought up the National Guard troops to Pelosi and she shot it down. So now she's parsing words saying Trump never asked. |

| #1 it is still something of a mystery how the Capital Police, which has about 2000 uniformed, could be so unprepared that day so they were so quickly overwhelmed. |
