Gen. Honor: Jan. 6 'could have been totally different' if there were a quick reaction force

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, who led a review of the security failures leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, said Sunday that if Capitol Police had a National Guard quick reaction force in place during the riots, the events that day "could have been totally different."

Honoré, during an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation," however, underscored the importance of such a force, telling host John Dickerson that regional police would not be able to handle missions involving threats of domestic terrorism.

"Some of them are taking issue with $200 million that's in the bill to fund the National Guard quick reaction force. There's some talk about using regional police for that mission. That might work only you scheduled event that might happen on Saturday afternoon with a large crowd coming to town. I don't think it will work with a threat of domestic terrorism at three o'clock in the morning, where you can call up a local law enforcement and say show up at the Capitol. You know 80 percent of our Capitol Police live outside the district," Honoré said.

"That was the reason for the quick reaction force. It still leaves the mission with the D.C. guard to be prepared to respond, but the quick reaction force would give them ability to respond in minutes. Now that's going to be hours before they'd be able to respond because you got to recall them to duty," Honoré added.

1. He's leaving out a few things

Trump stood down the National Guard on that day. He ordered them not to have anything they could use to stop an insurrection. If they WOULD have had the tools they needed (rifles, machine guns, mortars, Apache helicopters, 500-pound bombs, nerve agent and other defensive weapons of that nature) and used them to stop the steal, Trump would have invoked the Insurrection Act and put America under martial law.

Two questions:

1) Is there a law that allows a supermajority of Congress to immediately suspend the president’s powers for a short period of time in cases where he’s gone completely off the rails, like happened on January 6?

2) And if not, why don’t we have one?

If the Founding Fathers could have seen into the future and suspected we’d get a president who wanted to be a fascist dictator, I believe the Constitution would read differently than it does.

2. Also remember that the person appointing acting military was Trump's former BODY MAN.

John McEntee. His only credential is that he was Trump's body man. Then he was appointed to head up recruiting personnel for administration appointments, and he filled those empty military positions with ACTING stooges. Just in time.

His BODY MAN.

We saw this happening. We knew the dangers. And yet it did happen.
