There was an interesting editorial from Howard Kurtz (Fox News) about the NY Times story of Trump desire to seize the Voting machines. I'm waiting to see who starts a thread.

Which insurrection are you speaking of? The one where the only people with guns were the cops, the only person shot was one unarmed woman murdered by one of those cops who was investigated and cleared without ever having his name published? Or were you referring to the BLM and Antifa people who rioted for months, DID have weapons and DID kill and injure people, along with causing untold billions of dollars worth of damage. Oh, yes, they also rebelled against the US and State governments by declaring their own "autonomous zone."
Lindsey Grahamnesty is a sneaky little shitweasel who never saw an illegal alien amnesty he didn't support or a war he didn't want to get us into. No wonder you like him.

President Trump is not a traitor. Graham is a traitor as are all the Democrats and most of the Republicans Wahington and their minions like the governors of the West Coast are not of the same American mindset as is the mindset of "freedom-loving Americans." The Washingtonians serve the FED's "new world order,"

The real traitor is Pelosi for not allowing the national guard to intervien, traitor Pelosi wanted a riot, there were no weapons brought to the intended peaceful demonstration but a few well placed agitators experienced in crowd control was all her diabolical plan needed.Pelosi should be tried for conspiracy and after found guilty pay the ultimate penalty!!!

Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6
By ARIJETA LAJKA
July 23, 2021


CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.

THE FACTS: On Tuesday, a false claim about the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol resurfaced suggesting that Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to lawmakers’ defense during the insurrection at the Capitol.

“@SpeakerPelosi, why did you block the National Guard from protecting the Capitol?” Indiana Rep. Jim Banks tweeted.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy posed a similar question on Fox News saying, “Was there a decision by the Speaker not to have the National Guard at the Capitol that day?”

The answer is no.

“On January 6th, the Speaker, a target of an assassination attempt that day, was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was. This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame,” Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi told The Associated Press in an email.

The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.

The House Sergeant at Arms reports to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell, a Republican who was then Senate Majority Leader. There is no evidence that either directed the security officials not to call the guard beforehand, and Hammill said after the insurrection that Pelosi was never informed of such a request.

The officials on the board, along with the former Capitol Police chief, Steven Sund, have disputed each others’ accounts of who requested the guard when. Both Sergeants of Arms and the police chief resigned immediately after the attack.

Once Trump’s supporters were assaulting police and breaking into the building, Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer appealed to military leaders, asking the Army to deploy the National Guard.

“The Speaker believes security officials should make security decisions. The Speaker immediately signaled her support for the deployment of the National Guard when she was presented with that recommendation on the afternoon of January 6th. Public testimony confirms the fact that the Speaker was not made aware of any request for such a deployment prior to then,” Hammill said in a statement this week.

Republicans have falsely laid the blame on Pelosi without mentioning that GOP Leader McConnell had similar authority over the security officials that day. But there is no evidence that either was involved in any effort to block the National Guard before or during the insurrection.
