Former President Donald Trump tore into Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and President Joe Biden on Wednesday night after the commander-in-chief staunchly defended the embattled general from accusations he broke the chain of command with his calls to Chinese officials.He accused Biden of covering for Milley because of 'dirty secrets' the general may know about Biden's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. 'Milley never told me about calls being made to China. From what I understand, he didn’t tell too many other people either,' the statement began. On Wednesday Milley admitted to making two calls to his Chinese counterpart, both before the election and in January,

Nut job or not, Milley is a dangerous traitor and deserves to be punished severely after getting a trial.

While it may be "Normal" for certain high ranking officials to have direct contacts with their foreign counterparts...it is NOT normal for those contacts to be hidden, covered up, kept secret from Sec Defense, Sec State, The President, The VP..and use the "Interagency" within the Whitehouse to keep the administration totally out of the loop, while coordinating contacts and messages through the House Speaker...who is NOT even supposed to be in the information loop, is not in the command loop, and who's clear goals are the exact OPPOSITE of the Administrations . A "Secret Cabal/Shadow Govt" contravening The US Administration, secretly conducting foreign policy and Military operations is in fact an "Insurrection" in action...all the while claiming that Trump was "Inciting" one that never took place. We need to see ALL communications not just with foreign peoples, but between Milly and Pelosi, as well as any other Dem Party folks, none of whom should have even been briefed by him unless cleared to do so by the administration. I'll bet there are contacts with Biden, Sullivan, Kerry, Rice..and Media folks as well, from BEFORE the election, as well as after..

Using Milley’s traitorous logic, will he call his counterpart in Iran to warn him of a possible US and/or Israeli airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear weapon’s facilities? If Milley believed his betrayal of the US and President Trump was justified due to Milley’s mistrust of Trump’s mental state, what does he think of the mental state of Dementia Joe?
What’s truly shocking is that Milley was and apparently still is willing to betray his fellow military members by alerting an enemy of our pending attack. And Dementia Joe fully supports this beyond bizarre general.

Although DJT was the best choice for president in both 2016 and 2020, I would beg to ask when did Trump realize Milley was a nut job and was that point in time too late to do anything about it, as he sure had some big red flags come up during his presidency but hung in there with Milley despite multiple indications of his nuttiness. That appeared to be a pattern throughout, starting with the disaster that was Sessions and the nearly two years that Sessions lingered as AG while the president disparaged him but declined to actually fire him. While it was obvious to many that the president was being falsely accused of Russian collusion, he did himself no favors in not dealing decisively with Sessions and not replacing him with a competent AG. Even if no other conservative on Earth agrees, I'd like to know what will be different in 2024, especially with regard to retaining his predecessor's hold-overs, as Biden's criteria for promoting and appointing flag officers to key positions appears to be similar to Obama's but on steroids.

Insane Milley Mill also knows how the election theft sausage was made. I know there's all kinds of infighting and jockeying going on with these tyrants; I have to admit, it makes me smile. They deserve each other.

If Fat Mark skates out of charges a re-elected President Trump can call him back to active duty to face disciplinary action.

"The Chairman, while so serving, holds the grade of general, in the case of the Navy, admiral, or, in the case of an officer of the Space Force, the equivalent grade, and outranks all other officers of the armed forces. However, he may not exercise military command over the Joint Chiefs of Staff or any of the armed forces."
You think he didn't do exactly what the last sentence says?

Should Eisenhower notified the German High Command of the Normandy D-Day landings?
No, that would clearly have been treason.
Milley committed treason, and needs to be on trial for it.

#6 forgets that Mitch and Paul Ryan both informed POTUS Trump, and the People that they would not approve any other choices, and refused to go into Recess so POTUS Trump could appoint interim people.
Damned if he did, damned if he didn’t.
America, damned because of them.

I believe "nut job" is a technical term.

Well since turnabout is considered fair play, and since Pelosi in an official telephone call told Milley that Trump is “crazy” with Milley agreeing with Pelosi, it is only fair for Trump to be able to refer to both Pelosi and Milley as “nut jobs” as they asked for that description.

I have come to love Trump, but his one failing was not cleaning house when he had a chance. Take a clue from 0bama and Clinton--toss them all. Hopefully he sees now what vipers in nest can do.
