I appreciate the links, I looked up his 8-page resignation letter where he went into detail immediately after J6. Regarding the timeline on Sund calling the National Guard, he says:

Given these factors, it was clear to me at 1:00 p.m. that the situation was deteriorating rapidly. I called MPD and requested assistance and they responded immediately. I also requested assistance from the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division and other law enforcement agencies. I notified the two Sergeant at Arms by 1:09 p.m. that I urgently needed support and asked them to declare a State of Emergency and authorize the National Guard. I was advised by Mr. Irving that he needed to run it up the chain of command. I continued to follow up with Mr. Irving, who was with Mr. Stenger at the time, and he advised that he was waiting to hear back from congressional leadership, but expected authorization at any moment. At approximately 1:50 p.m., not yet having authorization from CPB, and noting the extreme urgency of the situation, I notified General William Walker that I should have approval shortly and that we had an urgent request for the National Guard. At 2:10 p.m., I finally received notification from Mr. Irving that the CPB authorized me to request the National Guard. However, as explained below, I soon learned that our request would also need to be approved by the Department of Defense.

So that's a delay of 70 minutes that was under the purview of the two Congressional Sergeants at Arms. Then it went into the hands of the Pentagon who asked for a conference call at 2:28pm where they delayed further and it wasn't until 5pm or so that they approved it. General Walker (commanding officer of the D.C. National Guard.) had previously told Sund on January 4th he could have 125 National Guard troops ready on J6, but the first 150 showed up at the scene at 5:40pm. Meanwhile, Sund received support from 1700 officers from nearby law enforcement agencies by 1:51PM.

So the bailey here would be "On Jan 6 Pelosi and the DC mayor refused national guard support" while the motte is "Congressional Sergeants at Arms (who report to Nancy Pelosi) took 70 minutes to approve and forward to the Pentagon a request for 125 National Guard troops." All this indicates that @DradisPing was either engaging in stylish hyperbole or simply mistaken. If the former, it would've been helpful to have known that in advance.


This is collateral, but on the topic of Sund intelligence briefing, he said:

As previously mentioned, the IICD intelligence assessment indicated that the January 6th protests/rallies were expected to be similar to the previous Million MAGA March rallies in November and December 2020, which drew tens of thousands of participants. The assessment indicated that members of the Proud Boys, white supremacist groups, Antifa, and other extremist groups were expected to participate in the January 6th event and that they may be inclined to become violent. This was very similar to the intelligence assessment of the December 12, 2020, MAGA II event. In addition, on Monday, January 4, 2021, the USCP IICD published the Daily Intelligence Report which provided an assessment of all of the groups expected to demonstrate on January 6, 2021. The IICD Daily Intelligence Report assessed the level of probability of acts of civil disobedience/arrests occurring based on current intelligence information, as Remote to Improbable for all of the groups expected to demonstrate on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. In addition, the Daily Intelligence report indicated that The Secretary of Homeland Security has not issued an elevated or imminent alert at this time

I don't have Sund's book, but the video you linked to doesn't explain what intelligence he was missing except to vaguely describe it as "significant intelligence".

I dont doubt that there is an aspect of ass-covering by him when he makes his testimony. That said, no one has testified under oath that he failed to request additional backup on J3.
