re: Per testimony, Trump's CIC powers were taken away by Military Brass

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.

Let me preface my comment by saying that I think General Milley is a traitor and a national security risk. Having made that point clear, I look at this situation with a somewhat different perspective. What if, just IF, a sitting President, (Biden or Obama) was perceived by top brass to be preparing to break the law by using the National Guard to confiscate our firearms? I truly believe that we need military brass who are willing to disobey unconstitutional Presidential orders. If not, who is there to stop a President from becoming a tyrant and dictator? This situation is a sword that cuts both ways.
