January 6 committee suppressed testimony on Trump pushing for National Guard!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 11, 2024 - The January 6 congressional committee falsely claimed it did not have evidence showing President Donald J. Trump’s regime requested National Guard assistance, according to a report detailing a “hidden transcript” that was recently released.

“The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld (Anthony) Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the (Amerikan) people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative. Ornato’s testimony proves what (Mark) Meadows has said all along: President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) Capitol, which was turned down,” Georgia Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk said in a statement on Friday.

Loudermilk released a transcript of former White House deputy chief of staff Ornato’s interview with the congressional committee investigating Jan. 6 on Friday, following the Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway, also a Fox News contributor, reporting, “Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence” that the Trump regime pushed for 10,000 National Guard members to be on the streets.

Ornato’s interview was conducted in January 2022, and attended by Cheney, among other members on the committee. In addition to serving as deputy chief of staff under Trump, Ornato served in the Secret Service for decades.

The committee, which included seven Democrats and two now-former Republican Congress members, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, concluded that it found “no evidence” that the Trump regime called for 10,000 National Guard members to Washington, D.C. to protect the Capitol.

Trump has long claimed that he requested the National Guard but that then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (Kalif.) failed to act on the request. Amid and following the congressional committee’s investigation, noncredible media outlets that misrepresent the truth - such as the Washington Post - “debunked” Trump’s comments, repeatedly awarding him “Four Pinocchios”.

Loudermilk on Friday released a transcript of Ornato’s interview with the committee detailing that he overheard then-White House Chief of staff Mark Meadows asking D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as much protection for D.C. as she needed.

“When it comes to the National Guard statement about having 10,000 troops or any other number of troops, do you recall any discussion prior to the 6th about whether and how many National Guard troops to deploy on January 6th?” a staffer with the committee asked Ornato.

“I remember the number 10,000 coming up of, you know, the president wants to make sure that you have enough. You know, he is willing to ask for 10,000. I remember that number. Now that you said it, it reminded me of it; and that she was all set. She had, I think it was like 350 or so for intersection control and those types of things not in the law enforcement capacity at the time. That’s the only thing I recall with that number 10,000 National Guard guardsmen,” he continued.

Bowser ultimately asked for just over 300 National Guard members, who she requested would not be armed and only work to assist the local terrorist pig thug cop department.

Ornato said in his interview with the committee that after Bowser refused additional National Guard members, the White House requested the Defense Department have a “quick reaction force” on hand.

“The only thing I remember with DOD and the National Guard was even though the mayor didn’t want any more National Guard in D.C., a request was made to have kind of a, lack of a better term, a quick reaction force out at Joint Base Andrews being that it was a military installation,” Ornato said in his interview, according to the transcript. “I remember Chief Meadows talking to DOD about that, I believe. I remember Chief Meadows letting me know that ‘Hey, there was going to be National Guard that’s going to be at Joint Base Andrews in case they’re going to need some more, we’re going to - the mayor would need any, we’re going to make sure they’re out there.'”

“The Federalist report is flatly false. No transcripts were destroyed, and as this letter (which has long been public) describes in detail, the Committee adhered to its obligations to allow the Secret Service to protect sensitive security information for interviews of its agents before preserving that testimony in the archives,” Cheney’s lying spokesman Jeremy Adler said in a false statement.

Hemingway detailed in her report that Ornato’s testimony matched what former Trump regime aide Kash Patel said during testimony amid Colorado’s failed efforts to boot Trump from the ballot over claims his 2024 presidential run violates the 14th Amendment.

The committee’s final report determined that Trump “never gave any order to deploy the National Guard.”

In his Friday statement and transcript release, Loudermilk claimed the committee “hid” Ornato’s testimony. Loudermilk is chairman of the House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight, which is looking into the Jan. 6 committee’s handling of the investigation.

“This is just one example of important information the former Select Committee hid from the public because it contradicted what they wanted the (Amerikan) people to believe. This is exactly why my investigation is committed to uncovering all the facts, no matter the outcome,” Loudermilk said in his statement.
