A report from the Daily Caller has discovered that Pelosi spoke with the House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving and expressed that she didn’t want the National Guard on the Capitol grounds.
According to the Daily Caller, three sources under the condition of anonymity confirmed Pelosi demanded the National Guard not help the Capitol Police.
Pelosi Crime Family:
Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol Grounds, Irving allegedly told House Admin. The discussions, which centered around “optics,” allegedly occurred in the months prior to the Jan. 6 riot, during a time when deployment of federal resources for civil unrest was unpopular with Democrats and many members of Congress.
The three sources who confirmed the discussion to the Daily Caller did so under the condition of anonymity, citing the fear of putting a chill on further witnesses to how the security situation unfolded Jan. 6.
“The Speaker’s Office has made it clear publicly and repeatedly that our office was not consulted or contacted concerning any request for the National Guard ahead of January 6th. That has been confirmed by former Sergeant at Arms Irving in sworn testimony before Senate committees. The Speaker expects security professionals to make security decisions and to brief about those decisions,” Hammill said.
“It is our understanding that Committee on House Administration Ranking Republican Member Davis was briefed in advance of January 6th about security preparedness, but took no action to address any security concerns that he might have had,” he concluded.
So far Irving’s testimony is not jiving with the official timeline. Pelosi approved the request for the National Guard at 1:43pm however, Irving testified that he requested troops after 2pm.
“If you believe Irving’s timeline that he testified under oath to, how could he ask for permission from the Speaker 20 minutes before he got the request?” One source familiar told the Caller.
“Also if you believe his sworn testimony that he never had to run the request up the chain, why did the Speaker’s office confirm he did just that?” the source continued.
Another source familiar with conversations said, “Irving is covering for Pelosi. There’s no doubt.”
Capitol security officials testify on Jan 6 attack.

This flies in the face of what Pelosi’s Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill said.

After recounting that the House sergeant-at-arms’ rejected repeated requests from the head of the Capitol Police for National Guard troops in the days before the incident because everyone concerned knew a big crowd was coming to hear then-President Donald Trump speak, Carlson noted that the concerns were borne out with the breach of the Capitol Building.
“January 6 is one of the most discussed events in modern American history, and yet more than six months later, we still don’t know why that happened. No one has explained it,” Carlson said. “Nancy Pelosi knows why it happened. She could tell us why it happened if she felt like it,” Carlson continued.
“The Sergeant-at-Arms reports directly to Nancy Pelosi. She is the Speaker of the House, and yet repeatedly, Pelosi has worked to stop any inquiry whatsoever into the state of security at the Capitol on January 6,” he added.

In recent weeks, Pelosi formed a committee to look into the origins of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. All panel members were Democrats with the exception of Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., named five GOP members earlier this week but he pulled all of them off after Pelosi rejected two, Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana, two members who objected to presidential electors for Joe Biden on Jan. 6.
McCarthy said her rejection of those two lawmakers shows that her committee is partisan since Jordan and Banks were sure to ask uncomfortable questions involving accusations since the breach including who shot unarmed pro-Trump protester Ashli Babbitt and whether any FBI informants were involved in fomenting the plot.
“In fact, the very next day, on January 7, Pelosi forced [then-Chief] Steven Sund to resign from the Capitol Police. End of discussion,” Carlson said.
“What exactly is going on here? Congress’s new January 6 Committee was supposed to tell us what is going on here. Figuring out what happened
that day was the whole point of having the committee,” Carlson continued.
And we all know this 😠
“We’ve heard that again and again,” he added.
“And yet, it turns out that Nancy Pelosi has no intention of revealing
everything she knows about January 6th, so she has turned that committee into yet another instrument of cover-up,” he went on, noting that she rejected Jordan and Banks. “Pelosi banned two Republican Members of Congress from serving on the Committee. They are Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana,” he added.
“What did they do wrong? Those two specifically seem most likely to ask questions about January 6 that Pelosi did not want to discuss. They pushed for openness, so she booted them.” He went on to play clips of Pelosi snapping at a reporter who asked her why she removed the two GOP lawmakers. “Read my statement,” she clapped back.
Carlson then played a clip of Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., who said anyone serving on the 1/6 Committee should have a duty and loyalty to country first and be a person of “fidelity.”
“So, if you want to know why officials who report directly to Nancy Pelosi repeatedly turned down security at the Capitol on January 6th even after protesters were inside the doors of the Capitol, if you want to know what the hell that’s about, you’re un- American,” Carlson responded.
“You’re a traitor. You hate the country,” he added.
“It turns out there is still an awful lot of things we don’t know about January 6th despite all the talking about it. For example, why is the Justice Department still tonight hiding thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the Capitol that day? What could possibly be on that tape that we’re not allowed to see?” asked Carlson. “Who killed Ashli Babbitt? And what was the justification for killing her?” he noted further.

“Government agents get to shoot unarmed political protesters in the neck for trespassing and we’re not allowed to know who did it or why? Is that really the new standard?”
Later, Carlson accused Pelosi of establishing a committee that would produce findings supporting a preconceived narrative to hide the truth. “January 6 is being used as a pretext to strip millions of disfavored Americans of their core constitutional rights.
We are witnessing the most aggressive crackdown on civil liberties in our lifetime. That is not an exaggeration,” he said. “Yet thanks to Nancy Pelosi,
the January 6 Committee will now operate the way she would like America
to operate, as a one-party state,” he said.
Bottomline: If You Want to Really Know What Happen on January 6th?
