Fine. You hate Pence? You're an absolute RETARD if you can watch this introduction by acting-secretary Chris Miller, where he thanks Pence for some pretty deep shit, and not explain it. They knew the election would be stolen. They knew we'd have to fight here, right now, to win our country back.

OH, YOU, CATSFIVE
IDK, I don't find that article inconsistent with what Trump said he offered Nancy Pelosi. Trump is not going to ask Miller for the NG troops until she says yes, do that. They would presumably mobilized very quickly. That he was never given the order from Trump makes sense. Pelosi didn't want them:
“I was never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature,” Miller said in the video.
Miller later said in the video definitively, “There was no direct, there was no order from the President.”
“We obviously had plans for activating more folks, but that was not anything more than contingency planning,” Miller added. “There was no official message traffic or anything of that nature.”
EDIT: Meant to add that I always wondered if Miller praising Pence was intended for the Deep Staters to start worrying that Pence wasn't "their guy" after all. I don't know what to think anymore and jury is out on Pence for me. And Miller. Information warfare is very confusing.
The President doesn't order the NG! The President can suggest/encourage NG deployment by a governor, but it is not up to the President to call them up for duty. "There was no direct, there was no order from the President" seems to indicate the guy IS part of the anti-Trump team, waffling words to fit whatever narrative they are spinning.
Then what was Trump offering that he says Pelosi refused?
I don't know if the speaker of the House can call up NG either; it's usually a state governor call. Perhaps DC operates like a state, with speaker of House considered the governor? If so, he may have said something like, "I think there may be trouble during the electoral college tally. If you request it, I could authorize the NG", and then she may have said, "No thank you, I don't need to request it"
It's always fun until someone who actually knows how things works enters the chat
