So what happened between 3:19pm and 5:08pm on Jan 6th? 4:08pm: Pence makes an urgent call. He told the Sec of Defense to “Clear the Capitol.” At 4:32pm, hours after seige began but minutes after Pence call, the SecDef gave *verbal* authorization to send Nat Guard to Capitol — PolitiTweet.org

According to DoD timelines of 1/6: 1:05pm - Insurrectionist movements towards Capitol reported 1:26pm - USCP orders evac 1:34-3:19pm- Calls from DC Mayor, Pelosi, Schumer to Army Sec for help. No change. Nat’l Guard commander Maj. Gen. Walker didn’t get approval until *5:08pm* — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. AOC just backed ex-acting SecDef Miller into admitting that he didn't approve plan for the Nat Guard to deploy… https://t.co/ccRHDqLIy1

But even after that 4:32pm verbal auth, Maj Gen Walker testified he wasn’t notified of authorization to send Nat Guard to Capitol until 5:08pm. Capitol complex wasn’t secure until 8pm. The answers Trump’s acting SecDef gave for delays are not sufficient at all. Big q’s here. — PolitiTweet.org
