The DC Guard has as a core mission protection of the Capitol. Their vehicles contain riot gear; they train using the gear They can respond very quickly to unrest there--they did, in fact, during George Floyd protests. Yet. the DC Guard was not allowed to respond to the Capitol until the coup had failed. A report issued by O'Donnell, the newly-appointed Trumper Pentagon IG--as well as EPA IG--blamed the DC Guard for this failure General Williams, the commander of the DC Guard, and Matthews, General Counsel, have called complete and utter bullshit, calling Piatt and Flynn liars; and have the testimony of scores of people on the call to corroborate their contrary account. Electronic communications from that day, including a record of the call as well as texts, etc. of General Piatt, General Flynn (brother of the Kraken General Flynn), Secretary of Defense Miller and Secretary of the Army McCarthy, would clarify this dispute as well as she light on what exactly was going on that day, but they have been destroyed, many in violation of policy and/or law. The 1/6 Committee heard some testimony on this subject, but chose to prioritize their effort in the direction of Trump himself. It's time for all of this to be investigated further, beginning with the destruction of digital communications.
