A bombshell new report concerning the incident that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021 at the Capitol Building has revealed that President-elect Donald Trump — who was commander-in-chief at the time — didn’t just offer to send military troops to the area to help provide security. He actually ordered it, but was disobeyed. That is serious business, ladies and gentlemen. When the president gives a military order that’s lawful, he is to be obeyed. That’s that.
Joe Saunders of The Western Journal wrote that for a total of four years, a “select” committee run by Democrats was given authority to investigate the events of Jan. 6. This committee, not only comprised of Democrats, but anti-Trump Republicans too, worked with the mainstream media to blame Trump for the violence that took place that day. However, the latest report, released on Tuesday, says that it was Trump’s acting Secretary of Defense, Christopher Miller, who defied the then-president’s orders.
It’s the very first finding of the report, and it paints a scathing picture of Nancy Pelosi’s “select” committee — and former Rep. Liz Cheney’s role in the whole affair.

The report, “On the Failures and Politicization of the January 6 Select Committee,” cited transcripts from interviews conducted by the Department of Defense Inspector General into the events surrounding the incursion. In an interview with the IG, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, a now-retired Army general, described Trump’s words at a Jan. 3, 2021, meeting to prepare for the meeting of Congress to certify the results of the still-disputed 2020 election. Milley summed up Trump’s statement as: “Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.”
To most Americans, that would sound like an order from a commander in chief to his subordinate, but Miller told Nancy Pelosi’s rigged Jan. 6 Committee that he chose to consider it “banter,” the report noted on page 69. In fact, he told the IG interviewers, according to page 68 of the report: “There was absolutely — there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. Military forces at the Capitol.”
Miller also told the Jan. 6 committee that he was influenced by a piece of commentary that had been published by The Washington Post which had been signed by all 10 living former defense secretaries, which called on Miller specifically, to “refrain from any political actions that undermine the results of the election or hinder the success of the new team.”
As it turns out, that piece was put togetheter by Cheney, the report revealed. Cheney used her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who was also a defense secretary to help co-write the op-ed.
The report released Tuesday also showed Miller feared being called a “Trump crony” and was sensitive to criticism on social media. That apparently mattered more to him than carrying out the orders of the president, the report stated. It included a quote Miller gave to the inspector general investigators:
“Then you had this constant drumbeat of, remember when I came in the story was that I was a stuffed suit that I was a Trump crony that was going to use the United States Military to conduct a military coup to overthrow the Government, the elected Government of the United States. So that is what was out there in the Twitter sphere.”
To summarize, a big chunk of the responsibility for what happened on Jan. 6 was due to the conditions fostered by Cheney and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. What will be done to ensure they are held accountable for their misdeeds? Probably nothing.
Saunders closed the article by saying, “And, according to the report by the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight, it was direct defiance by the then-acting defense secretary of then-President Trump’s orders that led to the security vacuum that ended up being filled by violence.”
