DC National Guard officer says Generals lied around January 6

According to a former DC National Guard officer named Colonel Earl Matthews, the two generals who testified before Congress about the Army’s response to the January 6 breach are total liars who make up historical revision of events “deserves to be the best Stalinist Korean propagandist. ”

To criticize them and report the truth about what happened, Colonel Matthews wrote a 36-page report in it, he beat up two generals, General Charles Flynn and Lieutenant General Walter Piatt, calling them “absolute and unpunished liars” whose testimony was “full of inaccuracies and inaccuracies.” economic”.

In fact, the introduction to the report said:

The purpose of this memo is to outline and detail the numerous inaccuracies, false or misleading statements, or examples of analysis of errors contained in the Department of Defense Inspector General’s report ( DoDIG) recently announced Department of Defense investigation into the actions that led to the response to the violent attack on the United States Capitol that occurred on January 6, 2021. This Memorandum will also detail a series of false and/or misleading statements or documents that were knowingly made or submitted to the DoDIG and/or to the House Oversight and Reform Committee led by senior officers. level of the United States Army.

And what are those many inaccuracies and lies? First, the military’s response was not delayed. According to him, it was. In his words, “Every leader in the DC Guard wants to react and know they can respond to a government riot,” but can’t because they’re not authorized to do so.

Why wasn’t the National Guard ordered to react? Because DC protection officials “set up [sic] stunned watching in Armory” for hours. Instead of responding quickly and efficiently, as military officers are theoretically trained, they sit in one place.

According to Matthews, that means while “Our Army has never failed us and hasn’t done so on January 6, 2021…sometimes some of our Army leaders have defeated us and they have done so on January 6th. Then they lied about it and tried to cover it up. They try to smear a good man and erase history.”

And, on that subject, Colonel Matthews alleges that Flynn and Piatt lied when they told Congress about pleas for the DC Guard to be deployed quickly on January 6. They don’t beg for anything; they were sitting around, stunned.

Politico Report that the Army said this in response to Colonel Matthews’ report:

“As the Inspector General concluded, the actions taken ‘were appropriate, supported by requirements, consistent with DOD’s roles and responsibilities for DSCA, and in compliance with laws, regulations and guidelines. other applicable guidance,” Brady added. “We stand by all testimony and facts provided to date, and strongly deny any allegations to the contrary. However, given the Commission’s investigation January 6 daytime is still ongoing, it would not be appropriate to comment further.”

So the Army is countering his allegation. However, while it is not known exactly what happened that day, what is clear is that something went wrong and Matthews’ account seems far more believable than what the two generals are responsible for. are promoting.
