exactly. who didn't expect the FORMER uscp chief to try and shift the blame?

You damned right we all saw it! Although we also saw a bunch of “armed insurrectionist” “armed” with not a single weapon. We saw the only shot fired was by a possible BLM militant bodyguard kill an unarmed veteran. We saw an antifa militant with a confederate flag. We saw antifa types throwing flag poles like spears just as they have done in every fascist progressive city. We also saw supposedly conservatives shout hang Mike Spence instead of hang Nancy Pelosi (imagine that if you can?). People with their eyes open see a lot of the hints you obviously don’t.

They lie just like their masters.

Here is the actual letter. https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/c...012021.pdf

It details the Capitol Chief recognizing the dangerous mob early in the day and needing the DoD to authorize the National Guard to assist. Pretty sure the DoD head acts under the guidance of the Commander in Chief.

From the letter:

Almost two hours later, by 4:00 p.m., we had still not received authorization from the
Pentagon to activate the National Guard. Mr. Stenger offered to have Senator McConnell call the
Secretary of the Army to expedite the request. I concurred that this would be a good idea. I
followed up approximately 20 minutes later to check on the call and express the need for leadership
to call to assist in expediting the request. The first 150 members of the National Guard were not
sworn in on Capitol grounds until 5:40 p.m., four and a half hours after I first requested them and
three and a half hours after my request was approved by the Capitol Police Board. I still cannot
fathom why in the midst of an armed insurrection, which was broadcast worldwide on television,
it took the Department of Defense over three hours to approve an urgent request for National Guard
support.

What occurred on January 6th cannot be considered under any circumstances a protest, a
rally, or civil disobedience. This was a well-planned, coordinated, armed insurrection at the United
States Capitol. The USCP does not have the manpower, the training, or the capabilities to handle
an armed insurrection involving thousands of individuals bent on violence and destruction at all
costs. Nevertheless, because of their bravery and professionalism in the face of this attack, USCP
officers prevented the mob’s actions from resulting in more bloodshed, and carried out their
mission to protect the Members of Congress and the legislative process.


Not really sure how that "blows holes in the case against Trump."

Yes. And it was jammed in that last stimulus Bill as law by the democrats that permission had to be granted by the local authorities before NG troops could be deployed. That was a direct slap at Trump at the time because of him clearing the riots in front of the White House. The democrats should be the ones being thrown out of Washington. All of this is BS to cover up their own incompetence. And they succeed because the propaganda agency otherwise known as the MSM will not call them out.
