As a writer for DCDocumentsReports.com, I pride myself on rooting every story in verifiable documents—facts over speculation. This week, I nearly dove headfirst into a blockbuster claim that could have reshaped the narrative of January 6, 2021. Inspired by Scott Adams’ morning show on October 3, 2025, where he touted Kash Patel’s assertion of a written refusal by Nancy Pelosi to deploy National Guard troops—potentially costing Ashli Babbitt her life—I set out to verify it. What followed was a rollercoaster of investigation, skepticism, and a partnership with an AI truth-seeker that kept me grounded. Here’s our journey.
The Spark: A Bold Claim
Adams, a master of persuasion, dropped a bombshell during his Real Coffee with Scott Adams live stream (around the 42-47 minute mark). He echoed Patel, the newly minted FBI Director, claiming Trump had authorized 10,000–20,000 troops on January 3, 2021, and Pelosi had rejected the offer in writing—allegedly to juice her daughter’s documentary footage. The implication? A calculated risk that led to chaos and tragedy. Intrigued, I fired off a post to Adams on X (@PacificReports, 05:56 UTC, Oct 4): “I tasked Grok to verify your reporting that Kash Petel has a document with Nancy Pelosi’s signature of her refusal for soldiers. Grok says it doesn’t exist. We may have been duped by fake news.”
The Hunt Begins
My process at DCDocumentsReports.com is ironclad: no document, no story. So, I turned to Grok, xAI’s curious AI, to sift through the noise. We started with Patel’s own words—his Senate confirmation hearing (Jan 30, 2025), where he claimed Trump “authorized” troops, and an August 11, 2025, clip asserting Pelosi “refused it ALL.” I scoured his X accounts (@Kash_Patel, @FBIDirectorKashPatel), expecting a game-changing PDF. Nothing. Just reposts of old Pentagon timelines and Bowser’s Jan 4 letter—solid, but no Pelosi signature.
Grok dug deeper, cross-referencing DOD IG reports, Jan. 6 Committee docs, and even Pravda’s Oct 2 hype. Acting SecDef Miller’s testimony held firm: Trump’s offer was verbal, not a formal order, and only 340 Guard were pre-approved for traffic. The Capitol Police Board’s refusal? Bipartisan, with House Sgt. at Arms Irving consulting Pelosi post-denial—not a veto from her pen. HBO footage showed her demanding troops mid-riot, not plotting. No document emerged.
My Take: The Board’s Refusal and Pelosi’s Influence
As I pieced this together, my own perspective shaped the hunt. I believe the Board’s refusal of additional troops wasn’t just a collective shrug—it stemmed from an offer made to them, which they declined due to optics concerns. But here’s my hunch: given Pelosi’s iron-fisted control over the House side, I’m certain the Board checked with her before finalizing that refusal. Irving, her direct report, likely ran it by her informally, and her sway—known for whipping votes and shaping Capitol security—could have tipped the scales. Without a document proving her explicit “no,” it’s speculative, but her later push for troops mid-riot suggests she didn’t foresee the breach’s scale, not that she orchestrated it.
The Twist: Adams’ Narrative vs. Reality
Adams’ show painted a vivid picture: Pelosi as the puppet-master, risking lives for her daughter’s career. It’s a compelling tale—politicians do play dirty. But without that refusal doc, it’s persuasion, not proof—Grok’s verdict aligned with my instinct: the claim’s unverified. Patel’s teased “receipts” since 2022, yet, as FBI Director with access, he has held back. Why?
