Chairman @RepLoudermilk revealed that days before January 6, President Trump urged Pentagon leaders to ensure peace and protect lives, even suggesting the National Guard's involvement. However, on January 5, Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy imposed strict restrictions on the DC National Guard, delaying their response as rioters breached the Capitol. Despite being ready to assist, the Guard was held back for hours due to McCarthy's inaction and concerns about optics. I am determined to uncover why these directives were ignored and the reasons behind the delays.

🧵Chairman @RepLoudermilk revealed last week that days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property. The transcripts released show Trump gave senior Pentagon leadership directives to keep January 6 peaceful - including using the National Guard:

However, on January 5, the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, placed unprecedented restrictions on DCNG Commander Major General William Walker to prevent any movement to the Capitol without Secretary McCarthy’s explicit permission on January 6 and 7: https://cha.house.gov/_cache/files/7/0/702dcdb8-f89e-4b42-a1d5-98a840c809b6/F996C37EF42504262D39470936529A11.memorandum-from-ryan-mccarthy-to-william-walker-jan.-5-2021-.-on-file-with-the-subcommittee-.-redacted.pdf

On January 6, 2021, the outer perimeter on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol is breached by rioters at 12:53pm. The DCNG arrived five hours later. Here’s the timeline: https://t.co/UhH45R51Vp

Newly uncovered transcripts prove President Trump’s senior Pentagon leaders were focused on OPTICS, instead of doing their job, as the Capitol is breached: Miller: “There was absolutely – there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period.” Director of the Army Staff, Lieutenant General Walter Piatt: “Was optics a concern for us as we prepared to use soldiers downtown in Washington D.C? Absolutely.”

As “optics” concerns are being discussed and Secretary McCarthy claims he is ‘developing a plan’, the DCNG is ready to move, less than 2 miles from the Capitol – awaiting Secretary McCarthy’s authorization.

@OversightAdmn - Oversight Subcommittee

Walker’s General Counsel, Colonel Earl Matthews: “We were seeing the Congress of the United States being overrun, and the Guard – and the Capitol Police, the MPD, they need help. We had people at the D.C. Armory who are able to help, and they’re not moving. They’re not allowed to move.” DCNG Command Sergeant Major Michael Brooks: “They were ready to go, and they just couldn’t understand why they were still sitting there. Literally sitting on a bus, just waiting to drive to the Capitol and do the best they could do to support Capitol Police.” 👉 https://cha.house.gov/_cache/files/4/f/4f42cf77-9742-4230-b138-81d035e98a2f/E599ED4715C8354DE7B131D1FF9A8155.brooks-ti-redacted.pdf

At 3:04pm, Miller provides verbal approval to Secretary McCarthy for immediate deployment of the DCNG. What was Secretary McCarthy doing between receiving this approval, and 5:08pm, when the order eventually reaches the D.C. National Guard? Why didn’t he communicate this approval for a full two hours?

@OversightAdmn - Oversight Subcommittee

At 3:18pm, Secretary McCarthy tells Congressional Democrat Leadership that the DC National Guard has the “green light” and is “moving”. Two hours would pass before Secretary McCarthy’s deployment order would ACTUALLY be communicated to the DCNG.

In these vital hours, the DCNG has been trying, but unable, to reach Secretary McCarthy. DCNG Adjutant General Aaron Dean: “[Walker] tried to call Secretary McCarthy three times between 2:30 and 5pm. He said, ‘I haven’t heard from him all day.’ When he tried to call his cell phone, it went straight to voicemail.” https://cha.house.gov/_cache/files/c/b/cb7fd7af-427f-4e29-b6ad-be2f548091b5/F9037FF312C5418C14B79216AB62002A.aaron-dean-ti-redacted.pdf

@OversightAdmn - Oversight Subcommittee

The DCNG was ready. Secretary McCarthy delayed their response. Why did these senior Pentagon officials ignore Trump’s guidance? Why did Secretary McCarthy tell Pelosi the DCNG was on the way? Chairman @RepLoudermilk is committed to finding these answers, and more.

Video Transcript AI Summary

We should have had accountability for what happened at the Capitol. It's ridiculous that we didn't call the Capitol Police or National Guard sooner. They thought they were prepared, but clearly they weren't. I take responsibility for not being more prepared. Translation: The speaker acknowledges the lack of accountability for the events at the Capitol and regrets not taking action sooner. They admit to not being adequately prepared and accept responsibility for the situation.

Speaker 0: We have responsibility, Terry. We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous. You're gonna ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the stuff that that, should we call the Capitol Police? I mean, the, National Guard there to begin with? They thought that they had sufficient No. There's not a question of how they had been. They don't know. They clearly did of how they have been. They don't know.
