Speaker Nancy Pelosi has carefully tried to stage-manage the fallout of the Capitol riots. She has proposed a 9/11-style commission, headed by a blatantly partisan general, in order to purportedly get to the bottom of what really happened on January 6th.
The decision came on the same day she was served notice by high-ranking Republicans that she herself has many serious questions to answer regarding the Capitol attacks.
The questions include what she knew about reports of a planned attack on the Capitol building; why security requests from the former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was turned down by the House and Senate Sergeant at Arms six times; and why the Capitol security was so woeful that police officers even held the doors open for rioters and gawked as unarmed miscreants took over the Senate chamber.
Speaker Pelosi is now being accused of having weakened security before and during the Capitol riots due to “optics.” A report from the Daily Caller citing multiple anonymous sources say the former House Sergeant at Arms is “covering for her.”
The Daily Caller provides a timeline that exposes the problematic timing of Irving reportedly being contacted on the request.
The New York Times previously reported that the Speaker’s office confirmed that the National Guard was approved around 1:43 pm. Sund said he sent a request for help from the National Guard to Irving around 1:09 p.m, according to CNN. Irving said he was contacted about the matter after 2:00 pm, Axios reported. Sources questioned how Irving got the request after 2 pm but Pelosi approved the request at 1:43 pm.
“If you believe Irving’s timeline that he testified under oath to, how could he ask for permission from the Speaker 20 minutes before he got the request?” one of the sources told the Daily Caller.

the Democratic party is to blame for January 6 accident
Nancy Pelosi should be impeached for amny things - including, but not limited to, not protecting the Capitol!
Commie pelosi needs a lot more than impeachment; she should face arrest, treason charges and a military tribunal - - -and ALL that follows after conviction.
It takes a 2/3rds vote to EXPEL Pelosi as a member of the House of Representatives... see article 1, Section 5, Clause 2
Pelosi can retain her position as Speaker of the House without being a member of the House... The Office of Speaker of the House is a separate position appointed per the Rules of the House see ( Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5).
Pelosi would have to be removed from her office as Speaker of the House, under the rules of the House. A simple majority vote under the rules of the House is all that is necessary to remove her as Speaker... not impeachment.
