Donald Trump Monday accused former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) of deleting evidence of a long-debunked claim that he offered to provide 10,000 soldiers to defend the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
"Why did American Disaster Liz Cheney ... DELETE & DESTROY most of the evidence, and related items, from the January 6th Committee of Political Thugs and Misfits," Trump wrote in a New Year's Day post on TruthSocial. "THIS ACT OF EXTREME SABOTAGE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY LAWYERS TO PROPERLY PREPARE FOR, AND PRESENT, A PROPER DEFENSE OF THEIR CLIENT, ME.
Yeah, but that is simply nonsense.
Trump "never requested 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the Capitol that day," the Washington Post reports.
The number was tossed around in "casual conversation that is now regarded by his supporters as a lifeline to excuse his inaction when a mob inspired by his rhetoric invaded the Capitol," the report notes
The Defense Department never considered Trump remarks to be a "direct order," according to the Post.
There is no evidence to destroy in the case because it flatly didn’t happen. But that hasn’t stopped this tall tale from being a large part of MAGA gospel.
Even Trump should know better because January 6 wasn’t the first time he had supposedly made such a request, he had previously asked for “10,000 troops” to respond to the George Floyd protests in Washington DC.
******* The article continues, it's "just one damn thing after another," attributed to Bette Davis, as Margo Howard just pointed out on the previous LKTIV post about Kareem and medical challenges.
Trump continues to generously supply still more "talking points" for Dems, and evidence for the prosecutors, the mook can't help himself!
