The fact that President Trump is still cic over the 25k soldiers surrounding DC should be a huge clue to doomers that think they're there to help the deep state
DC is the seat of the federal government. Not a state. Governors sent National Guard to DC it's not DC national Guard guard. When in other state boarders they fall under that states governor for all orders. Since there's no governor of DC then it becomes a Federal level operation. The only person in federal government with any say or jurisdiction over the military is SecDef and POTUS
As I understand it President Trump's authority over NG (all military) even supercedes that of state governors. Although theres never been a dispute over it.
