Army Witnesses: The J6 Tale Spun By Army Leaders Are "Irreconcilable" With the Facts

Which they say is how the Army euphemizes "lies" when it's shielding high-ranking officers.

The lies concern why the Army waited until after 5pm on January 6th to deploy the National Guard.

Col. Earl G. Matthews, the Army colonel who served as the senior legal advisor to Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commanding general of the District of Columbia Army National Guard during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill protests, told RedState that Bryan A. Bonner, an investigative counsel for the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, acknowledged to him that the J6 narrative spun by senior Army leaders was flawed, and he would pursue the discrepancies.

"He told me that he knew that there were major problems with the DOD's Inspector General report and that he was going to recommend to the committee that they go back to DOD and figure out what went wrong," said Matthews, who, on Oct. 20, filed a 37-page Whistleblower Reprisal Complaint with the Pentagon's inspector general requesting the IG correct its report to bring it into alignment with events and conversations surrounding J6 that he witnessed.

...

Matthews said Bonner and other staffers would not say that Army leadership outright lied. "They called it our stories [were] irreconcilable, and there were discrepancies--to me, that was a euphemism for lying."

Bonner replied that he knew that Army witnesses were changing their stories and that he was going to recommend that the J6 Committee go back to the Army and resolve the contradictions and differing accounts.

Trust the government. In all of human history, corrupt bureaucrats have never, ever lied to frame their enemies or protect themselves from consequences. That's just Science (TM).
