Sources say Pelosi’s office said keep Guardsmen out on Jan 6, WOW!

The former Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving told House Admin he had discussions with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her office factored in to his “blender of decision making.” That is according to three sources with direct knowledge of Irving’s talk with House Admin who spoke with The Daily Caller.

Pelosi’s office insisted the National Guard remain off Capitol Grounds due to optics.

The three sources only spoke on condition of anonymity saying they feared it would put a chill on further witnesses on how the security situation unfolded.

Former Chief of Capitol Police Steven Sund and Paul Irving were forced to resign over security failures.

Pelosi’s Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill did not deny the allegations in a statement to the Daily Caller.

“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 briefed 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.

The Sergeant at Arms (SAA) is selected by the Speaker of the House and takes its direction from the Speaker.

When Josh Hawley asked Irving if he had to run the request for National Guard when the call came in from the Capitol police, Irving said he did not.

He had to have gotten permission from Pelosi’s office beforehand.

In his sworn testimony, Irving said 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 told the Caller, “Irving is covering for Pelosi. There’s no doubt.”

Pelosi has a history of standing down from Capitol violence. When previously speaker, she allowed leftists to desecrate the Capitol twice. Capitol workers came in with no pay on weekends to clean up the paint.

Pelosi wants instability.

Pelosi is concerned about optics. She wanted the Capitol unprotected to stage this fake insurrection.

These Capitol security officials were in on the plot, so of course they cover up. What fools, to sacrifice their jobs at the expense of the nation.

Pelosi is part of the Deep State Extremist who want to Militarize the Government into a Totalitarian State. The Woman has a perverted insane need for Power, but like Hillary Clinton could never achieve that power Nationally at the Ballot Box because she comes across as a true bitch who actually believes she has some kind of special divinity status. If America is going to survive as a Free Nation, we must remove all people with obvious Narcissistic Personality Disorder from Government. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are very dangerous when allowed to have any governmental authority. In the last 100 years it seems like people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder have been allowed to use mass media to “talk” people into voting for them. There was a time in America when the Media reported on the actions of people, now the media just parrots what people say and unfortunately the People have been conditioned by media to believe what people say and stop observing their actions. All of the really bad politicians have been able to “talk” themselves out of what should have been criminal prosecution. Some of the most egregious were people like Ted Kennedy who should have been tried and prosecuted for Manslaughter. Hillary Clinton who should have been tried and prosecuted for crimes under the Espionage Act up to and including treason. Today we have Gov. Coumo who forced thousands of infirmed Elderly People to their deaths. This was an act of Genocide no less despicable then the Nazi extermination of millions Jews. Nancy Pelosi very cleverly opened the door to a False Flag Siege of the Nations Capitol by deigning additional security on January 6th in order to push the propaganda that all 75,000,000 Patriots who supported the Trump Administration were to be considered Domestic Terrorist. As a result, she has now begun efforts to mobilize the Military to provide protection for “Politicians”. This is the action of Tyrannical Despots. It sets the stage for a Military take over of a Nation and meaningless show elections characteristic of Despot run Banana Republics.

Just read about Pelosi’s husband owning $17 million in stock for Starkist tuna owned by Del Monte foods and HQ located in San Francisco.
Starkist employs 75% of the Samoan workforce. Last week she added $33 million to the bailout for economic development in American Samoa.
Snopes validates all of it.

O/T-Comrade kommissar Xi Obiden sent TX $5 million for the grid FAIL but Pakistan got $25 million for gender studies.
Wasn’t there a transformative political figure that just loves Pockeyschtan?

Snopes is no validation of anything.

I recall that Pelosi pushed for a waiver from the US minimum wage for Samoa years ago, to help her investments.
