@rpardee They were told not to come from very high levels.
This isn't new info. We've known about this since at least a year ago, after the DOD OIG report on the response to 1/6 was released.

@ExecutiveFunction404 Correct, the committee is summarizing prior info.
I'm just referring to the huff post reporter saying that it's new info. It's disingenuous reporting from him, imo. The OIG report regarding the DOD response to 1/6 has been publicly available since last November. It comes across as clickbait-y to me.
@RationalLeft uh huh. Still looking forward to a full investigation of why it took the national guard so long to get there
