Again, Trump had the power to unilaterally deploy the DC National Guard on January 6th - he did not need permission from anyone. He didn’t do so.

For example, he did deploy the DC Guard as part of his fake emergency in the city this year.

Pete Hegseth hasn’t briefed Pentagon reporters in FOUR MONTHS.

The DoD’s own press secretary, Kingsley Wilson, hasn’t briefed reporters for TWO MONTHS.

The Pentagon is now, effectively, a dark site.

Meanwhile, the world’s largest military continues to assassinate dozens in international waters.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."
