It looks like some Congress critters are questioning the necessity for having the National Guard in WDC, acting as police, when that is not their job.<\/p>\n

From the article:\u00a0 Some lawmakers are growing irritated at the prolonged National Guard<\/a> deployment<\/a> at the U.S. Capitol and the lack of information on specific threats troops are hypothetically there to combat.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Capitol Police on Thursday asked the Defense Department to keep thousands of troops in D.C. for up to two more months<\/a>. The Guard was supposed to start withdrawing from the city<\/p>\n

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., said the mission should not continue indefinitely, adding that protecting the Capitol long term is not the Guard’s mission.<\/p>\n

“I’m outraged that U.S. Capitol Police have requested to keep the nearly 5,000 National Guardsmen at the Capitol complex for another two months without presenting clear and specific information,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Troops from virtually all states and territories deployed to D.C. following a deadly Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob that left five people dead, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. There are now 5,200 troops on the Capitol mission vs. 26,000 at its peak, according to Maj. Matt Murphy, a Guard spokesman. \u2013 article<\/p>\n

Sen. Inhofe is questioning the necessity for having the Guard do the job that the Capitol police are supposed to do. He is being joined by other members of Congress in regard to why no details are available in regard to the necessity of retaining Guard troops in WDC at all.<\/p>\n

It appears that this is not a shut chapter in this story. Stay tuned. I\u2019m betting there is far more to come. And I know that conspiracy theorists can have a field day with this kind of thing, so if you know one, ask what s\/he\/it thinks about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
