Scrutinizing DOD's Actions During January 6 Oversight
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 7 hours ago
The Defense Department has come under intense scrutiny as glaring inconsistencies emerge regarding its actions during the January 6, 2021, Capitol events.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee, has raised significant concerns about an Inspector General's report which he argues is riddled with inaccuracies and intentional omissions.
The report previously claimed that the DOD's response was “appropriate,” yet Loudermilk's findings indicate that the Pentagon deliberately delayed the deployment of the National Guard, contributing to the chaos that unfolded that day.
In a strongly-worded letter to the Department of Defense Inspector General, Loudermilk highlighted a pattern of deception aimed at covering up the agency’s failures. He further accused the Inspector General’s office of actively concealing information that would showcase the Department in an unfavorable light.
According to Loudermilk, the IG's report falsely portrayed a critical phone call between former Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy and Major General William Walker, claiming the call existed when, under oath, both parties denied any such discussion took place.
Additionally, the report alleged that the DC National Guard was unprepared to manage a civil disturbance, a claim contradicted by evidence that indicated the opposite. This included testimonies from DCNG personnel, which were excluded from the report, reinforcing the narrative that the agency mishandled its responsibilities on a pivotal day for American democracy.
The revelations from Loudermilk's letter suggest that the DOD not only fell short in its duty but also attempted to rewrite history. His findings raise the alarm about the integrity of the Department of Defense and the importance of accountability, particularly as the nation moves toward the new political landscape ahead with President-elect Donald Trump.
It remains to be seen if further action will be taken to hold accountable those within the Pentagon who may have endeavored to mislead both Congress and the American people about their failures on January 6. As investigations continue, the Republican-led oversight efforts appear set to unveil the truth behind these troubling events, ensuring that such failures aren't brushed under the rug.
