Jordan admits that one of his calls to Trump on January 6 occurred when he was in a safe room because he was there for a very long time. Jim Jordan admits to multiple calls with Trump on 1/6, spurring renewed calls for subpoenas excerpt: ""Look, I definitely spoke to the president that day. I don't recall—I know it was more than once, I just don't recall the times," Jordan told Politico. The congressman said he was "sure" that at least one of the calls took place while he and other lawmakers were hunkered down in a safe room "because we were in that room forever." The congressman did not tell the publication the specifics of what he discussed with Trump, but asserted that he had wanted the National Guard to get involved to address the riot."
Jordan was supposed to be on the committee investigating Trump's riot. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/27/con...m-facebook-twitter-and-other-tech-giants.html excerpt: "But the committee was criticized from the outset by Republicans who accused Democrats of constructing a biased investigation in order to milk the Capitol invasion for political gain. Their protestations only grew louder after Pelosi rejected two of the five Republicans McCarthy had picked to sit on the 13-member panel. Those two picks, Jim Jordan of Ohio and Indiana’s Jim Banks, were “ridiculous” choices due to their words and actions about Jan. 6, Pelosi said. Jordan “may well be a material witness to events that led to” the invasion, said Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., at the time. Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., both vocal critics of Trump, are the only two Republicans on the select committee."
Jordan is of the type that would have liked the National Guard get involved during the Capitol riot to protect Trump's rioters.
DC Mayor Bowser wanted the National Guard to protect the general public on January 5-6, but Trump wanted them to protect his 'stop the steal' demonstrators. Trump asked for troops to do 'whatever was necessary' to protect demonstrators who went on to storm the Capitol excerpt: "Miller said he told Trump that Muriel Bowser, the mayor of the District of Columbia, had requested unarmed National Guard support for the planned demonstrations on January 5 and 6. He said that Trump then ordered Miller to fulfill Bowser's request and told him to "do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights." Miller and Trump were among those heavily criticized for the fact that the Pentagon took more than three hours to approve the deployment of National Guard troops to the Capitol after it was breached by the former president's supporters on January 6."
The false narratives that Trump fanned created problems for the military which, if deployed to the Capitol before the riot occurred, could have given the impression that they were being used to help Trump steal the election from Biden by protecting Trump's protesters (or, from the other perspective, that they were helping Congress defend itself from Trump's protesters and 'steal' the election from Trump). Trump asked for troops to do 'whatever was necessary' to protect demonstrators who went on to storm the Capitol excerpt: "In Miller's written testimony to Congress, he said he had only deployed troops in areas away from the Capitol to avoid fanning conspiracy theories that the Army was involved in efforts to overturn the election. He added that doing so risked "amplifying the narrative that your Armed Forces were somehow going to be co-opted in an effort to overturn the election." He said he approved Mayor Bowser's request on January 4 and deployed National Guard troops at 30 traffic-control points around the White House, as well as at six subway stations, to block vehicles from entering the area. He said the purpose was to "demonstrate a law enforcement presence" and "intervene, only if required, in disturbances.""
DC police thwarted Tarrio's planned involvement in what later became Trump's riot at the Capitol by arresting him in DC two days before the riot for firearms violations in DC and for earlier burning a BLM flag. Tarrio later received a sentence of 5 months in jail.
The delusional thinking at Fox. Liz Peek: Biden's weakness vs. Trump's strength – here's what the difference means to our enemies excerpt: "Donald Trump first met Xi Jinping in 2017 at his Palm Beach Club Mar-a-Lago, where the president and first lady Melania entertained China’s president and his wife at an elegant dinner. Over what Trump described as a "beautiful piece of chocolate cake," he informed Xi that U.S. military forces had just sent 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles to bomb a military airfield in Syria. It was a masterful shot across the bow of the ambitious Chinese leader, who had blocked U.N. condemnation of Syrian President Assad’s poison gas attack, which had killed 77 of his own countrymen, including 22 children. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and national security adviser H.R. McMaster proposed various ways to punish Assad; Trump chose their preferred plan of attacking the airbase from which the deadly poison had been launched. The missile attack send a clear message to Assad that Trump meant business; it also served notice to Xi that, much as the Chinese press was eager to portray their president as "equal" to the American head of state, the U.S. was still in charge and not to be trifled with."

,,,until the monster that he and Trump created started to threaten his own life at the Capitol. Then Jordan would make more calls to Trump to call off the riot.

Journalist accounts, footage suggest they were targeted in Capitol riot excerpt: "In a separate account, a staff photographer at The New York Times described her experience in an article for the newspaper, saying she saw the mob rush an officer who was guarding the doors to the Capitol Rotunda. “I ran upstairs to be out of the way of the crowd, and to get a better vantage point to document what was happening,” Erin Schaff wrote. “Suddenly, two or three men in black surrounded me and demanded to know who I worked for.” She said the confrontation turned violent when the mob saw her press pass, which indicated that she worked for The New York Times. “They threw me to the floor, trying to take my cameras. I started screaming for help as loudly as I could. No one came. People just watched,” Schaff wrote. “At this point, I thought I could be killed and no one would stop them. They ripped one of my cameras away from me, broke a lens on the other and ran away.” Other video taken showed pro-Trump rioters destroying journalists' equipment as they were pushed away from the Capitol by police."
