sounds like you didn't watch the presentation. There is direct evidence of this.
In sworn testimony, Milley said exactly this. That Pence issued instructions to the military. Despite being out of the command structure.
(NewsNation) — Former Vice President Mike Pence was “very animated” and delivered “very direct” orders to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark A. Milley to send the military and National Guard to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to testimony by Milley. Milley told the Jan. 6 investigative committee that he spoke to Pence two or three times on the phone while a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to keep former President Donald Trump in power. Milley said Pence gave him “unambiguous” orders to send the military to the Capitol, an order Trump himself would not give.
I thought you don't respond to TheAdultInTheRoom anymore.
Same with nonequals. I thought you blocked him. What happened to that?
Even stupid people eventually figure out that the disagreement is the only thing keeping these forums interesting.
Or to put it succinctly, Trump did nothing to stop the violence. He did not direct anyone to the Capitol to stop the attack.
The only people he directed to the Capitol that day was the mob itself.
The violence is what he wanted. There is no other explanation for his lack of action.
Trump isn't in charge of DC security... there's multiple people who failed to do anything.
Only one person in authority just sat back and watched. That was Trump.

Text shows that when Trump tweeted that January 6th would be "wild", Oath Keepers took that as a call to action.
We love all of your play-by-play but please post them on the Trump thread. Again, not rocket science .... Biden stuff belongs on the Biden thread and Trump stuff belongs on the Trump thread. Is that really too hard to follow?
Please, PLEASE stop bringing attention to the attempted insurrection!
It is now known with certainty that Trump made no effort whatsoever to defend the capitol. He never called anyone to stop the attack. He not only refused to make a public call for peace, he refused to call anyone in government defend the capitol.
He just let it happen. Because clearly, the violence was what he wanted.

The Capitol Police sat back and watched. They held the doors open.
The DC mayor sat back and watched. She could have sent the National Guard in or DC cops. She didn't.
I think you have it entirely backwards. Democrats wanted the violence so they could politicize it.
Democrats promoted and cheered on violence every day for the duration of 2020 with elected officials even offering to bail out the rioters.
There's "no other explanation" to you because you live in a diseased little bubble.

You obviously haven't seen the video of the fighting between capitol police and insurrectionists. It was bloody and it went on for hours. Over 100 police were injured. They fought when they could.
And you still haven't explained why Trump did nothing to stop the violence. He had the power to do something. But he chose not to.
The violence is what he wanted. There is no other explanation for his lack of action.

And you Trumpers were saying there would be nothing new in the next hearings.
There is time for you to repent.

There are roughly 2000 Capitol police. Why the heck were there only about 200 there in the Capitol when everyything went down? Why the hell were not police called to the Capitol????

By the way, Fat dude, superb play-by-play. Hope you cover all the hearings.

The chief of the capitol police asked his superiors for the National Guard before the first rioter got to the capitol.
The guard wasn't approved until 3:04 pm 2 hours after the riot started and over an hour after they breached the capitol doors.
The guard started showing up at 5:20pm
Trump said some stupid things on 1/6 but he didn't start the riot and it wasn't in his power to stop it.
