So... Trump asked for the troops. Pelosi refused to ask for them.
Is this coming into focus, yet?

Interesting. It’s telling that Milley won’t answer the questions.

I would like to see the full transcript. Both sides have an agenda. Releasing select quotes just reinforces that.
It is possible that President Trump sent a follow up message: "No, I thought about it. No need for any troops. It is going to be a peaceful gathering by US patriots.
(Not saying this happened, but we always talk on this board about how things are taken out of context by "selective editing" or quoting.)

Who has authority to call for the National Guard?
Does POTUS? Speaker of the House? Mayor of DC? Sec Def?
IF POTUS has authority, does Speaker have the veto?

The Speaker has the authority.

No member of Congress has the authority to activate the District of Columbia National Guard. Only the president, Defense secretary and U.S. Army secretary do.

If Trump said "deploy the troops" and the troops ain't deployed, what does that say about Trump's effectiveness as commander-in-chief?

If you believe some of the "tell-all" books that came out (Deborah Birx's book comes to mind) there was a concerted effort to undermine what he wanted to do.

Only you could read all this and come up with that question.

Swampy, isn't it?
Secondly, in view of this transcript, what does it say about the second impeachment?
With history, we now know the first was absolute political BS. Now, it's increasingly looking like the second was pure political BS.
I know we have a country filled with LIV's, but whatever your politics may be, citizens should be apoplectic with Congress being used this way.

Not to kick a man when he’s down, but I’ll bet you were sitting corrected.
