Colorado court said there was no evidence of this in their ruling that Trump was an insurrectionist.

“Trump has frequently insisted he called for 10,000 troops (sometimes it’s inflated as 20,000) to keep the peace on Jan. 6, 2021…Christopher Miller, then the acting secretary of defense, testified under oath to the Jan. 6 committee that there was no such order for troops from Trump, according to the report.

But two days before the violence erupted, Trump insisted that he should accompany protesters on a march to the Capitol aimed at blocking certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential win, according to testimony from Max Miller, who was a White House senior adviser at the time.

That’s when Trump ‘floated the idea of having 10,000 National Guardsmen deployed to protect him and his supporters from any supposed threat from left-wing counterprotesters,’ recounted Miller, who said he told Trump it was a bad idea.”

Trump suggested using National Guardsmen to protect him and his supporters while they marched to the Capitol, but was no official order through proper channels.

Got him.

What took DOJ so long? I hope when Biden wins reelection he replaces Garland with Doug Jones.

Can’t say that’s a surprise. The GOP minions were baying for blood that day.

I mean, these are just "tourists" coming to see the Capitol, or so the GOP says.

I have wondered since that day how many people got away who did have weapons on themselves. I know they had more stashed in Arlington, waiting for a signal from the insurrectionists in the Capitol, but so many people were allowed to just walk out that after the Trump-delayed assistance finally arrived.

And he is promising to do it again. Exactly why the 14th Amendment prohibits insurrectionists from holding office.

Meh. You hate the flag anyway.

What is it you call our flag? Oh yeah, “a symbol of oppression!”

I'm sorry, were you talking to me? Allow me to introduce myself - I worked as a civilian attorney for the US military and my DH is a retired Army officer. We proudly fly the US flag outside our house.

And we also both marched in protests following the murder of George Floyd.

Please work harder to understand the true meaning of what it means to love your country, our WHOLE country, not just one evil demagogue.

Y'all cain't take away mah freedom.

What, do you think a 40 second clip of a bunch of MAGAs shuffling across a room in the Capitol somehow makes the hours and hours and hours of video showing violent MAGAs assaulting police, smashing windows and doors go away?

It doesn't. It. Does. Not.

Vivek's a grifting a-hole and idiot. There's a huge amount of documented evidence that this was planned and orchestrated by Proud Boys, Oathkeepers and other MAGA groups. There are emails and communications about it for weeks in advance. There is evidence that Roger Stone and other people in Trump's inner circle met with and plotted with the Proud Boys and other rioters. FBI, DHS and other agencies received numerous tips from concerned friends, family members and neighbors of the people who went. Many of the people who got arrested came prepared with tactical gear, weapons, encrypted radios and so on.

They didn't NEED FBI encouragement or entrapment, they DID THIS ENTIRELY ON THEIR OWN. And anyone who like Vivek wants to ignore the mountains of evidence is either deeply delusional or a lying grifter.
