Members of the commission investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, on Thursday asserted that President Donald Trump made no efforts to stop rioters even as Vice President Mike Pence attempted to order National Guard troops to quell the violence.
“Not only did President Trump refuse to tell the mob to leave the Capitol, he placed no call to any element of the United States government to instruct that the Capitol be defended,” said Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., during the panel’s wide-ranging Thursday night hearing on the event.

I have been debating on social media. Some progressives on Facebook showed me some information that there were a lot of restrictions but they did allow a 40-man quick reaction force. If the Secretary of Defense with micro-managing, he has to know about it if it was deployed. That means that the Washington DC adjutant General could have deployed a 40-man qrf force and that could have made a little bit of a difference. Sending in the National Guard after the fact when you already had a 40-man qrf force and I believe they had a military police company on standby as well. I debated with the guy and said look what 40 men could do. I was military police and we did do some civil disturbance training and here is one of the formations that could have made a difference if the weenies in Washington DC. I refer to the weenies as a two-star adjutant general or the civilian and charge could have deployed them and then tell the Secretary of Defense.
This could have made a difference. They were already on the ground probably 5 or 10 minutes away hopefully on redcon1 ready to move out in 5 minutes so I suspect politicians were too afraid to make a decision or too afraid to have to tell the Secretary of Defense. Just my speculation. Arms with riot shields and batons, it could have made a difference on January 6th. What do you think?

As per the pensylvania national guard they were ordered. To stand down three times despite being fully deployed.
This is profound negligence of that c in c, donald

For the acting c in c this is profound dereliction of duty. Donald completely aided and abetted this treason.
