Normally, local commanders of the National Guard have the authority to deploy their troops in case of an emergency that could effect American lives. The Washington Post is reporting that before the January 6th insurrection the commander’s authority was negated by the Pentagon.
The deployment of the National Guard on January 6th newly required higher ranking officers. We know those higher authorities were mostly unavailable. Vice President Pence had to call the Secretary of the Navy to request that authority and deploy the National Guard.
Both, the Inspector General and Congress need to carry out investigations. Major General Walker should be a witness at the impeachment. The insurrection was planned and expected to kill people that day.
It was all premeditated with fatal outcomes. There is at least one traitor in the Pentagon. Was someone holding a gun to his/her head or was it a willing act of sabotage of the USA Constitution.
