Here's why video tape is so important evidence of what occurred.

What's at issue was the planning, the beforehand arrangements, for whether to have the national guard there pre-positioned at the capitol. Your reference says: "There is no evidence that either Pelosi or McConnell directed the security officials not to call the guard beforehand."

Yet reports indicated that Pelosi, in her own words, has admitted responsibility for not having the national guard already there. Thus, the reference cited was clearly wrong saying “there is no evidence..." YES there is evidence, on video tape. There’s the quotes directly out of her own mouth, as spoken on the video, directly contradicting your reference.

And this video was shot by Nancy’s own daughter, thus earning credibility.

Headlines of the video evidence:

Among the various quotes, the video shows Nancy Pelosi saying:
“ Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with? They clearly didn't know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepared for more.”

Another quote: “We did not have any accountability for what was going on there ... and we should have," said Pelosi. "Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with ... I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more."

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Nancy Pelosi turned down the Trump request to have several thousand national guardsmen there to maintain law & order.

Nancy Pelosi Did Not Reject National Guard Troops on Jan. 6
CLAIM: Calling the Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6th Attack on the United States Capitol the “Unselect Committee of political thugs,” Trump alleged that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “turned down the offer of 10,000 soldiers” on Jan. 6, 2021 and that she was “in charge of security at the Capitol.”

THE FACTS: Trump has frequently claimed Pelosi rejected his offer to send National Guard troops to the Capitol on Jan. 6. While he was involved in discussions in the days prior to Jan. 6 about whether the National Guard would be called ahead of the joint session, he issued no such order or formal request before or during the rioting, and the guard’s arrival was delayed for hours as Pentagon officials deliberated over how to proceed.

In a 2022 interview with the Democratic-led House committee that investigated the attack, Christopher Miller, the acting defense secretary at that time, confirmed that there was no order from the president.

Pelosi did not direct the National Guard. However, as the Capitol came under attack, she and then-Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell called for military assistance, including from the National Guard.

The Capitol Police Board makes the decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol. It is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.

The House Sergeant at Arms reported to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell. There is no evidence that either Pelosi or McConnell directed the security officials not to call the guard beforehand. Drew Hammill, a then-spokesperson for Pelosi, said after the insurrection that Pelosi was never informed of such a request.
