It's been my opinion from the beginning that J6th was a
False Flag op. I watched about half of Bongino's video, and decided to post something on it. What's new here?
There seems to be some doubt about this National Guard business. Who has that responsibility in the DC area? On J6th 2021, the President ( Trump ) or the Speaker (Nancy Pelosi)? Nancy Pelosi seems to be skating on this. For if it wasn't her responsibility, then what difference does it make what Trump does?
If it was Trump's responsibility, then why does he have to ask Speaker Pelosi? He could just send them in. The District of Columbia is not a state. There's no Chief Magistrate, who would call out the Guard in a state. But who does that in the District of Columbia? There's no definite and clear obligation for someone to do it, but Congress does have the responsibility to declare war and to call forth the Militia to suppress rebellions and insurrections and so forth.
Trump says he asked Pelosi, but it seems that is being denied. I suspect some shirking is going on here. Primarily from Pelosi. If she calls for the Guard, then it is up to who? Then there was that part in the video in which the Major General said that there were unprecedented restrictions.
Even if Trump was refusing to get involved, what prevents a Chief Magistrate to call forth the Guard, and why would that not be appropriate for the Speaker to do so? What I'm getting at is that Pelosi is skating on the responsibility that claims that she has, but wants to blame on Trump. But she could have done it herself. Who in charge at the time and in the District, would have refused a direct order from the Speaker in the middle of a riot?
If Trump would have intervened then and there, over-riding Speaker Pelosi, the Democrats might have had a case for complaint. Instead they are trying to lay it off on Trump.
It was up to Pelosi or McConnell, or perhaps even Pence as Veep. They did not call it forth, and claim that Trump should have. I think they are wrong.
