Why Didn't Pelosi & McConnell Request The National Guard For J6?
Tucker interviewed Capitol Police Chief, Steven Sund. The interview took place at Fox and was never aired. Gotta wonder why. Regardless, Tucker now operates independently, re-did the interview and it's now out on YouTube. About 55 minutes long, and worth watching.
Takeaways: Why was the intelligence regarding potential threats withheld from the Capitol Police? Why did Pelosi & McConnell ignore the threats and decline assistance from the National Guard?

Below is the Capitol Police's documented timeline of what transpired up to Jan. 6th: The police acknowledge the threat of opposing protest groups no later than Dec. 16th. They begin developing their actions plan Dec. 18th. As days pass, the threat assessment escalates. On Jan. 2, Carol Corbin of the Dep't of Defense reaches out to Deputy Chief, Sean Gallagher to ask if Nat Guard resources are needed. On Jan. 3, no request forthcoming. On Jan. 4, Sund contacts the Sergeant of Arms of both the House & Senate to requests authorization for the Nat Guard, and is denied. - remember that at the point Sund makes this request, Trump has already given authorization (per Sec of Defense Chris Miller's testimony), and Sund doesn't have a complete picture of the full threat.

@nudistsueaz IMO from what I’m able to decipher, are two things: Trump had authority over DC.’s guard. That authority is delegated to the Defense Dept. What was known, what was expected as far as the event and need for the guard, ,what requests were

made, what offers were made and accepted or declined, what role the guard would have played etc,,seem up for question.,
@nudistsueaz The way I see it is first of all it was a total screw up. Once it was known there was going to be a large gathering outside the Capitol before anyone entered; with the foresight to see that it might become what it did, appropriate actions should have been taken by all parties involved. That did not happen and if the blame game is to be played, out then let it come out in court because many were involved.
