“All military commanders normally have immediate response authority to protect property, life, and in my case, federal functions — federal property and life,” Walker said in an interview. “But in this instance [on Jan. 6th] I did not have that authority.”
The emerging theory of the defense is that the military tied its own hands before Jan 6th out of concern about a repeat of the summer crackdown and worries about a Flynn-style military coup. Then when they were legitimately needed they found themselves bound. Fwiw
