Good thing she didn’t know about the “attack” ahead of time, and did not rehearse her tear soaked lament before hand.
Portion of that Original Post, to clarify specific details ["committee" changed to "January 6 Committee" for example]:
Rep. Liz Cheney and her January 6 Committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops.
In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the January 6 Committee included precisely that evidence from a key source.
The early transcribed interview, which Liz Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now:
Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the January 6 Committee was conducted on January 28, 2022. In it, Anthony Ornato told Liz Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed to protect the city.
Anthony Ornato also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021.
Anthony Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021.
Not only did the January 6 Committee not accurately characterize the interview, January 6 Committee suppressed the transcript from public review.
On top of that, January 6 Committee allies began publishing critical stories [ <- NY Times article ] and even conspiracy theories about Anthony Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him.
Anthony Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House.
Chicken Little
May we call her that now?
