National Guard whistleblower Captain Timothy Nick said the Guard was ready to go to the Capitol on January 6 to help the police but was told to stand down until after 5 pm, which was too late.
The Secretary of the Army lied and claimed he made calls to the National Guard, but he did not.
Captain Timothy Nick of the Army National Guard is one of the J6 whistleblowers.
Former Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy claims he was on a 2:31 PM call and spoke on that call. This is false unless he was in the room, shadowing the call and he did not speak nor identify himself. He was not on the call."
"Major General Walker told my staff officers to stand by with respect to deployment to the Capitol Hill. Only at 5:09 PM in the early evening, which I wrote down in my wheel book, was the DC Guard given orders to deploy and move to assist Capitol Police."
"We arrived too late with one American lying dead with other sisters and brothers injured, including federal and local law enforcement officers. We were ready and standing by. I know if we were ready to deploy immediately when General Walker made the request, the National Guard could've helped in civil disturbance to restore order quickly."
"The Army National Guard motto is Always Ready, Always There. The DC National Guard was ready to help assist Capitol police, but we were not allowed to do our job due to paralyzed decision-making by Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller and Secretary of the Army Brian McCarthy. This led to a crisis in federal leadership at the Pentagon and delayed the DC by three hours and 19 minutes. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today and articulate the facts as they happen."
