Former DC National Guard officials criticize Pentagon leadership in assessment of J6 response
Four former D.C. National Guard officials testified in Congress Wednesday and detailed their firsthand experience of the January 6 riot.
excerpt from story: “LTG Piatt stated that it would not be his best military advice to recommend to the Secretary of the Army that the D.C. National Guard be allowed to deploy to the Capitol at that time. LTG Piatt stated that the presence of uniformed military personnel could inflame the situation and that the police were best suited to handle the situation. Both LTGs Piatt and Flynn stated that the optics of having uniformed military personnel deployed to the U.S. Capitol would not be good,” Matthews recounted of a phone call between the military officials.
In response to previous congressional inquiries, Piatt said “At no point on January 6 did I tell anyone that the D.C. National Guard should not deploy directly to he Capitol.”
Flynn told investigators he “never expressed a concern about the visuals, image, or public perception of” sending the National Guard to the Capitol.
