These people helped Jan 6th...


quote:

The Daily Mail reported:

Donald Trump’s authority as commander-in-chief was ignored by senior military leadership on January 6, 2021, claims the chief legal advisor for D.C. National Guard on that day.





quote:

Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, were plotting to disobey any orders handed down by Trump because they ‘unreasonably’ assumed the then-president was going to break the law and try to use the D.C. National Guard (DCNG) to stop certification of the 2020 presidential election results.




quote:

Matthews says that senior military leadership essentially stripped the president of his authority as commander-in-chief by preemptively planning to go against orders because they didn’t like the optics of uniformed soldiers at the Capitol.

Why should we re-elect someone who was so powerless so weak and was so easily “tricked” or “duped” by the swamp who he claimed to want to drain but instead added to it. Make this make sense?!

"Optics" don't make for unlawful orders. These people should be court-martialed.

That's conspiracy to commit a coup and punishable by death.

So we now have unelected bureaucrats in the DOJ, IC, IRS, Military, and elsewhere unilaterally controlling the country in direct defiance of elected leaders?

Libs are going to freak out when this eventually bites them in the arse.

But if Democrats wanted the 1st ID to take the border from Texas, Miley and the JCOS would have been all for that.

LOL
And shortly after they had so many NG stationed in the Capitol they had to use parking garages as barracks.

Milley was/is such a massive disappointment.
