Trump not calling for the National Guard is not the same as Trump telling the National Guard to stand down.
The article I posted never said that trump didn't call up the military earlier in the week, only that they ignored Pence's instructions when he asked them to come to the capitol because they were under attack? Why did they do that?Who gave the order to do that? Here's the article again. Please underline the exact sentences where it says trump never called the military to the capitol.
“Clear the Capitol” – Trump busted after military leaders defied Mike Pence’s direct request for help
Today the Associated Press confirmed in great detail what had already previously been vaguely reported elsewhere: Vice President Mike Pence directly called U.S. military leaders and instructed them to take control of the Capitol building during the January 6th attack, but they ignored him.
To be clear, the Vice President can’t give a formal order to the military; unless the President is unreachable or indisposed. But as a practical matter, U.S. military would never simply ignore an instruction from the Vice President, unless the President told them to ignore it.
In other words, this helps confirm that Donald Trump really did order U.S. military leaders to defy Mike Pence’s instructions to come rescue him – and only hours later did the military finally take action. This means that Trump actively worked to protect the insurrectionists inside the Capitol building, which makes him guilty of not just inciting the attack, but conspiring to commit it.
