Captain Timothy Nick testified under oath on Capitol Hill on Wednesday:
"First, I want to explain my role on January 6th. I was assigned as aid to camp the personal assistant to Major General William Walker, the commanding General of DC National Guard. It was my only second day on the job (!). Please focus on alleged facts found in the November 16th, 2021 Department of Defense Inspector General's multidisciplinary review into the DC National Guard response and Department of Defense's role that day."

"I can say unequivocally that the Inspector General's Review is riddled with inaccuracies, misstatements, and perhaps false flags and narratives regarding how critical Pentagon senior officials responded when our republic was under great stress (!!)."

"For instance, during a conference call at 2:31 PM with members of United States Army, US Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department, District of Columbia Government, and US Secret Service Uniform Division, the US Army's Lieutenant General Walter Piatt, Director of Army staff and the Army's Lieutenant General Charles Flynn, Director of Chief of Staff of Operations were on the call." Also was Colonel John Lubas, executive officer to the Secretary of the Army."

"The Army FALSELEY DENIED that General Flynn was ever on the call. This is false and material on its face. Lieutenant Flynn was on the call and even participated in discussions. The defense inspector's review also rounds language papering over the fact that Lieutenant General Piatt, Lieutenant General Flynn, while on the call discussed how they did not like the OPTICS."

"That is a direct quote, and they stated it would be in their best military advice to recommend to the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, to deny the request from Command General William Walker to deploy the DC National Guard and aid US Capitol Police in restoring restoration of Order Liberty on Capitol Hill."

"In addition, former [Army] Secretary Ryan McCarthy claims he was on a two three 1:00 PM call and spoke on that call. This is FALSE, unless he was in the room shadowing the call and he did not speak nor identify himself."

"He was not on the call. He was en route to Washington, DC Regional office at the Federal Bureau of Investigation to support that agent's concept of operations plan for January 6th."

"He went on the claim that he called and spoke to Major General Walker at least twice, ordering the deployment of the DC National Guard. This is also FALSE. At no time did General Walker take any calls, nor did we ever hear from the secretary on any of the ongoing conference calls or the secure video teleconferencing throughout the day."

"This I know because I was with the Command General the entire time recording events throughout the day. Major General Walker told by staff officers to stand by with respect to deploying to the Capitol Hill. Only at 5:09 PM in the early evening, which I wrote down in my wheel book, was the DC Guard given an order to deploy and move to the Capitol to assist Capitol Police."

"We arrived too late. One American laid dead with other sisters and brothers injured, including federal and local law enforcement officers. We were ready and standing by. I know if we were able to deploy immediately, when General Walker made the request, the National Guard could have helped and civil disturbance and restored public order quickly."

"The Army National Guard motto was always ready, always there. The DC National Guard was ready to help and assist Capitol Police, but we were NOT ALLOWED to do our job due to paralyzed decision-making by acting Secretary of Defense,Chris Miller and Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy..."

"This led to a crisis in federal leadership at the Pentagon and delayed the DC response by 3 hours and 19 minutes."

Let me get this straight Steve. You are classifying the sworn testimony in front of the US Congress by an Army Captain who was present throughout the chain of command events on J6 as “alternative facts!?”

I am classifying your version of the "truth" as an alternative set of facts. I could care less about the National Guard's actions that day. What matters to me is the totality of the evidence, the vast, vast majority of which shows that Trump did everything he could to try to steal the 2020 election.

I'll agree with Saeed, Lock the bastard up.

When, the law clearly gives the lier to mobilize the DC guard to the President.

We saw President Trump mobilize the DC Guard against BLM. The generals have testified under oath on this issue.

The DC Guard is the Garrison of Rome.

The above opinion piece you posted cannot change Fed Law.

Read it.

Also, did you ever consider this man’s potential biases. Officer Biographies are full of presenting their view on the best light while down playing reasons for failure.

We know he has done bias because the position is not supported by Fed Law, recent history, nor testimony of generals.

What does Flynn have to do with the President’s authority over the DC Guard.

I do not know who this man is you quote, but he is not credible on this issue.


You need to stop it, read the law, look at what President Trump did on a similar situation with the Left, accept it, hold President Trump to account, and move on.

Your attempts to paint Trump as somehow acting in a reasonable manner on the 6th are REALLY pathetic. Trump was a total failure on the 6th, as well as before and after the 6th.

Pathetic Lane, completely pathetic.

Trump failed every way a man could fail on J the 6th. There is nothing in his behavior that day worthy of defending.

The chain of command failed due to “optics.”

Those of you who don’t want the truth to get in way of getting things done — there is no hope for you. You are just blinded by hatred.

Revisionist history Lane. None of your excuses justify Trump's behavior the 6th, or in the days surrounding it. Trump tried to steal the election....enough said.

I am going to take this Captain at his word. You can call him a liar and believe a General with a political agenda over him if you choose.

The NG was greenlighted. The chain of command (read Generals worried about “optics”) broke down.

The events you watched (as did I) have zero to do with the chain of command that day and the failure of the NG to be present.

Idiots rioted that day — fact.
The NG should have responded earlier — fact.
The NG was pre-authorized to respond — fact.
They didn’t due to failure in the chain of command below the POTUS — fact.

You know the event he showed up holding the Bible upside down. Own it, he did not call out the National Guard on January 6 because he was like a giddy schoolboy watching the riots. Idiot.
