Thing is that there's no proof that Trump made such and offer. Thing is that if Trump had authorized the deployment prior to January 6 why was the NG still waiting for approval?
What seems to be happening here is buck passing down to the Capital police command__sorry, won't work.
A general made the offer. Mills, I believe. He wouldn't be able to do that without prior approval.
Waiting for orders of deployment.
I agree, a lot of passing the buck. I thought not connecting the dots was fixed after 911. Apparently not. It seems the capitol police never got the intelligence and didn't think the national guard was needed.
General Mills. Ha! I probably got that name wrong. lol
