When Nancy Pelosi appeared on ABC's Sunday morning talk show "This Week," the former House Speaker made a dubious claim that would undoubtedly come as a surprise to many of the key decision-makers on Capitol Hill during the events of January 6.
"It's 2 US Code 1970. Look it up. Just make sure you look it up before December 22 when they changed it. So what was in effect on the 6th? That requires me to go and get approval for bringing in National Guard or federal assistance in advance. I have to go to the Capitol Police Board and get approval from congressional leadership in advance like I did on January 3rd. I'm denied twice because of 'optics' and because the intelligence didn't support it. So think about that."
"One because of 'optics,' which is interesting. You're going to hear that term come up a couple more times. Optics over the look of the National Guard on the Hill. But yeah, and the Capitol Police Board. I mean, it's unbelievable that I'm the only Chief of Police in the United States that has a law preventing me. Not just regulations, rules, that say I got to go and get approval to bring in the National Guard. A law."
"So that's crazy that Congress is going to pass a law that controls what I can do to protect the Capitol, and even in emergency, so think of this, even while we're under attack, I have to go to those same two people to request the National Guard to be brought in," he noted.
"Chain is Pelosi his chain would be up to Nancy Pelosi," Sund remarked.
"Three days before supporters of President Donald Trump rioted at the Capitol, the Pentagon asked the U.S Capitol Police if it needed National Guard manpower," the AP reported.
Since Pelosi has not since been formally called by her Congressional successors to account for her actions during the Capitol Riots, it is as if she is daring the corporate media and the capitol's powerbrokers to hold her accountable.
