The new book by Woodward and Acosta alleges that Trump threatened the Constitution, and that Milley made sure that the President could not activate the nuclear options by himself.

The President wanted the certification process overthrown.


I don't think he really understood just how grave was the matter. He was in his own reality show.


American's citizens were so fortunate to have General Milley between the President and the nuclear options as well as Pence, who after three hours of being nagged by Trump to decertify the election, reached out to the NG Commander in DC (Mike Flynn's brother, of all people) and has the troops released on the insurgents. Mike Flynn, if in charge, would have had the NG troops attack the Capitol defenders.

Milley Told China in Secret Phone Call He Would Give the CCP Advance Warning if US Was Ever Going to Attack

According to a new book “Peril” written by Bob Woodward, Mark Milley, the Joint Chiefs chairman, told China in a secret phone call that he would give advance warning if the US was ever going to attack.

“In a pair of secret phone calls, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the PLA, that the U.S. would not strike, according to the new book written by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political editor Robert Costa.


One call took place on Oct 30, 2020, four days before the election that unseated President Trump, and the other on Jan. 8, 2021, two days after the Capitol siege carried out by his supporters in a quest to cancel the vote.

The first call was prompted by Milley’s review of intelligence suggesting the Chinese believed the United States was preparing to attack.

“General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay,” Milley told him. “We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.”

In the book’s account, Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a US attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel. “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

Mark Milley Told Military Officials Not to Take Orders After Capitol Riot

Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley single-handedly took top-secret action to preempt then-President Donald Trump from ordering a military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to a new book.

According to Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Milley was worried that after the January 6 Capitol breach, Trump could “go rogue” and called a secret meeting on January 8 with senior military leaders.

During that meeting, Milley instructed senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center to not take orders from anyone unless he was involved, according to a write-up of the book by CNN.

“No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” Milley told them.

“Milley considered it an oath,” Woodward and Costa wrote.

The book also revealed that Milley had two back-channel phone calls with China’s top general to reassure him that the U.S. would not attack, even promising to give him a heads up if it did.

According to a write-up by the Washington Post, Milley — four days before the 2020 presidential election — assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, that the U.S. would not strike.

Alexander Vindman Says Gen. Milley ‘Must Resign’ If Report of His Calls to China Is True: ‘He Usurped Civilian Authority’

Alexander Vindman said that General Mark Milley should resign if some stunning new reporting is true.

An upcoming book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa says the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff took some pretty drastic measures over his concerns about how erratic and unhinged then-President Donald Trump acted after the 2020 election.

Milley allegedly took steps to prevent Trump from using nuclear weapons, and apparently he was so worried about Trump starting a war with China that he called his counterpart in China. Per the Washington Post:


Twice in the final months of the Trump administration, the country’s top military officer was so fearful that the president’s actions might spark a war with China that he moved urgently to avert armed conflict.

In a pair of secret phone calls, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, that the United States would not strike, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa.

One call took place on Oct. 30, 2020, four days before the election that unseated President Donald Trump, and the other on Jan. 8, 2021, two days after the Capitol siege carried out by his supporters in a quest to cancel the vote.

This guy claims to have been worried that Trump would attack China? Correct my if I'm wrong, but doesn't the President have to get agreement from the top military before any attack could be launched? What if Milley's subordinate went behind his back, and later said something like "I was afraid Milley would attack China"? Should we let everyone in the military second-guess their higher command?

And keep in mind, this is the same guy that was fine with Biden's plan to abandon the Bagram Air Force Base while freeing all the terrorists in its prison cells, and then abandoning Americans and Afghan interpreters to the Taliban.

It really sounds treasonous to me. @Gunny (http://www.debatepolicy.com/member.php?u=30) - what say you?

By the way, why hasn't Milley resigned already because of the Afghanistan fiasco? Either it was Milley's plan and he should resign in shame, or else it was Biden's plan and Biden is now blaming it on the military so he should resign in protest.

Only the President has authority to launch a nuke strike. Milley was to follow the order regardless of what he personally thought.

So picture this - something catastrophic happens and we have inbound nukes from China or Russia. Trump gives the counterstrike order, which is promptly disregarded by the US military commanders because Milley staged a coup.

There's a reason that the military is under elected civilian command. Milley circumvented that. We were completely vulnerable and helpless in January to anyone who'd chosen then to attack. Imagine that - the world's greatest military force sidelined by one rogue General.

Pelosi also had a hand in that. She admitted it on Jan 8th.


Here's the kicker : Milley called his counterpart in China and told him that we would not attack. He promised him that he'd call him if the order was given to attack China. That's outright treason.

This leftist General needs to be sacked. And court martialed. And jailed. Now.


Not only that, but what precedent did this just set of every up-and-coming military officer? Can the chain of command be trusted from here out? This is bad, very bad.

A treasonous general took authority over that of a sitting Presidentm, based upon his own bias and his dereliction of duty.
Conspired with others to do so- namely generals underneath his command, Pelosi and others.
And that is out and out treason- any damn way you try to cut it.. --:saluting2:--Tyr

edit- What if China had read into that call-this--
Trump must be seriously contemplating hitting us first therefore we must act sooner rather than later. We must hit first!
They are ruthless communists you know. Milley could have started a first strike on this nation by his criminal act....
That is self evident as a very plausible possibility...
He must be charged and all those that conspired with him named and brought to justice-especially so Pelosi.-Tyr

Either it was Milley's plan and he should resign in shame, or else it was Biden's plan and Biden is now blaming it on the military so he should resign in protest.Milley wants his book on the best seller list and Jake wants to irritate and prod any thin-skinned right winger that takes his bait. Quite the combo :rolleyes:

First, regardless WHO was President, Milley is a pussy, political desk jockey General. The kind I can't stand. If he was leveling the same accusation against Biden I would have the same response. This is about him, not who the President is/was.

The President can ask for anything he wants. I don't put much to the claim that Trump asked for the code to be changed for a couple of reasons: Milley is a dirtbag and he is misrepresenting his own authority. He does not possess the "secret" to launching nukes. It takes 5 people in agreement, each with a piece of the code. Nothing Milley could have done for Trump would have given Trump singular ability to launch a nuclear strike.

As far as yet another instance of tossing the word "treason" around without knowing what one is talking about goes, EVEN IF Trump made such a request, it's not treason.

On the other hand: telling a foreign government one would notify them if the US was preparing to launch any kind of strike, nuclear or not, regardless who is President comes about as close to treason as I've seen it get since John Walker. The bar for treason is extremely high, purposefully. What I do know is if Milley indeed tell the Chinese government anything of the sort, he is saying he will spy for a foreign government on the President of the US. Not sure what more it takes, but since Milley is a lefty lapdog, I'm sure he needs a bloody knife in one hand and a severed head in the other.

Milley is a perfect example of civilian politicians not knowing their asses from a hole in the ground. They're so afraid of the military, they put weak people in key positions thinking they are easier to control when just the opposite is true. Milley, by his own words told China he would commit treason. A strong General officer and leader would never entertain such a notion without WAY more cause than "I don't like the President".

I'm not sure a person who demonstrated that he doesn't know the difference between a Federal Agency and Private Industry is qualified to discuss constitutionality on any level.

Milley was Trump's top military advisor. He had no command authority whatsoever.

Milley circumvented the Constitutional chain-of-command and usurped it with the aid and collusion of the two leaders of the opposing political party, namely Schumer and Pelosi.

At no time was Trump thinking about launching a surprise attack on China. And if he were, there are procedures in place - of which, Milley inserted himself into, against the Constitution and Federal Law. Milley had no authority to intervene whatsoever even if it were true.

Milley called a secret meeting with command staff, taking from each of them what he considered an oath to obey him rather than follow orders from their lawful CinC. This is the very definition of a coup.

Milley secretly conducted his own Foreign Policy, which he was not authorized to do. Indeed, there are Federal Laws prohibiting such conduct and the penalties are harsh.

Milley told our major adversary that he would personally call them if an attack were imminent, violating his own oath and breaking a myriad of Federal Laws - not to mention risking the lives of countless US military personnel. Warning our enemy prior to a military encounter?


Milley's silence is deafening. If this all were untrue, he'd be making noise and protesting. He's bunkered down, and that speaks volumes.


I'm sure when he's hauled in front of the Senate, we'll get to the bottom of this and his treasonous actions. There are phone transcripts and I'm sure that Cruz, Kennedy, Paul, Sullivan and others will enlighten all of us as to what happened and who were involved. There will be no sliding out of this one, and I'm thinking that Schumer & Pelosi will pay a price for their role in this coup as well.

Speaking of coup - anyone else amused that as all the moonbats were screaming about an insurrection and coup, at the very same time they were actively engaging in a legitimate one?

I just read an article that former Sec of Defense Esper was also involved in this - after he'd been fired. Yeah, that's going to get ugly for him, too.

The hilarious thing about this whole awful thing is that Milley himself provided all the details to Woodward, somehow thinking that he'd be hailed as a hero. I'm sure he's having second thoughts now as he realizes that he's hung himself. Good riddance.

Former Defense Secretary Denies Authorizing Mark Milley Conversations, Calls on Him to Resign

Former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller on Wednesday denied authorizing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to engage in conversations about the prospect of subverting the president, saying the law “prohibited” Milley from doing so.

“The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest-ranking military officer whose sole role is providing military-specific advice to the president, and by law is prohibited from exercising executive authority to command forces,” Miller said in a statement obtained by Fox News. “The chain of command runs from the president to the secretary of Defense, not through the chairman.”

Miller’s comments followed assertions earlier in the day from anonymous Pentagon officials quoted in numerous publications who said Milley’s actions had been approved by Miller’s predecessor, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper. Trump fired Esper in November, six days after the presidential election, and replaced him with Miller.

Milley allegedly called his Chinese counterpart, People’s Liberation Army Gen. Li Zuocheng, on Oct. 30 and on Jan. 8 to reassure him that he would warn China if former President Donald Trump sought to launch an offensive against the country during his final days in office.

“We are 100 percent steady,” Milley told Zuocheng, according to an account published on Tuesday by The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. “Everything’s fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes.”

Pence called in the NG after Trump stalled for three hours. He did not have the legal authority, but he did it anyway. The irony of the moment was that the General Flynn in charge of those troops was LTG Mike Flynn's brother. I would not be surprised if Mike would have had the NG shoot the Capitol Police if he had been in charge of the NG.

Milley stopped Trump's aggressions as far as the military went.

Gen. Milley must go for subverting of civilian control of the military

In a climactic episode of the sitcom “Arrested Development,” Jeffrey Tambor’s character confesses to his son that he “may have committed some light treason.” If what was recently reported about Mark Milley is true, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is guilty of something much heavier: colluding with a foreign power against the sitting commander-in-chief.

According to a new book by Washington Post scribes Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Milley conducted at least two secret phone calls with top Chinese military officials while Donald Trump was still serving as president, one in October 2020, one in January 2021. Reportedly, Milley reassured the Chinese that Trump, the only US president in two decades not to start a foreign war, wasn’t on the cusp of invading. He even went so far as to vow to tip off Beijing in the case of an impending US attack.

This was not all. Woodward and Costa also report that on Jan. 8, 2021, Milley called a secret meeting at the Pentagon during which he instructed senior military officials not to take orders from their Trump unless he (Milley) approved them.

“No matter what you are told, you do the procedure,” Milley reportedly said. “You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure.” During the same period, Milley was also in direct contact with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at whose direction he appears to have initiated not only the Pentagon meeting but overtures to the heads of the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency.

Rest - https://nypost.com/2021/09/15/gen-milley-must-go-for-subverting-of-civilian-control-of-the-military/


Mark Milley Is A Traitor

General Mark Milley is a disgrace to his uniform. If he had any integrity, he’d resign. He has none, and neither does his boss, so his job is safe. But he is a traitor who should be rotting in prison. Instead, he’s the toast of cable news and liberal social circles.

Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, actively subverted the Constitution and explicitly violated his oath and attempted to subvert the chain of command in the United States while pledging to our enemy that he would give them a “heads up” if it necessary. People have been executed for less, and justifiably so.

General Milley called Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army to reassure him that the U.S. would not make any moves against China, pretty much no matter what. This is bad enough, treasonous behavior in and of itself. But Milley went further, assuring the communist leader, “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

I'm impressed with your commitment to ignorance. I'm further impressed with your lack of reading comprehension.

So far you've been wrong 100% of the time, which is impressive even for a libtard. At least Pete was correct roughly 2.3% of the time by my calculations - although those statements were of "the sky is blue" variety. Still, those counted.

From your own link, genius :



"The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest-ranking military officer whose sole role is providing military-specific advice to the president, and by law is prohibited from exercising executive authority to command forces," Miller said. "The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense, not through the Chairman."

"As secretary of defense, I did not and would not ever authorize such conduct," Miller said.


And former chief of staff for the Department of Defense Kash Patel told Fox News that "the law governing the Joint Chiefs of Staff specifically forbids the chairman from exercising any operational command authority."


"Congress put this in the statute because the U.S. military is to be led by a civilian, the commander-in-chief," Patel continued. "Furthermore, by law, the national command authority goes from the president to the secretary of Defense to include anything relating troop deployments, operations in theaters of war, and nuclear command."


Patel added that if the calls with China are true, Milley "has violated the law regarding operational authority."


"Calling a foreign counterpart and discussing operational capabilities against that enemy is literally treasonous," Patel said. "The White House, nor the Office of the Secretary of Defense authorized the chairman to conduct any calls with Chinese officials regarding operations."


And deputy chief of staff to the Department of Defense Joe Francescon also told Fox News that it was "the policy at the time that there was no senior government engagement with China, owing to their bad acts and efforts."


Francescon added that it was the "blanket policy at the time not to have high-level engagement with the Chinese on matters like this," and added that Miller and his office were "not told in advance of any call to the Chinese specifically."

Plain and simple Pvt/E-1 shit: If Milley had an issue/suspicions about Trump it was Milley's duty to take it to the next higher up in the chain of command which would be SecDef.

If you want to know what happens to serving officers who go around the chain of command to the media, please see the various threads on the Marine LtCol who did so. But then he criticized a Democrat President, didn't he?:rolleyes:

Milley went into business for himself; ironically, what he is accusing Trump of trying to do. IF he reported anything about Trump to China he is a traitor.

And the beautiful part? Any repercussions for his antics, which there should be, will be his own damned fault running his suck trying to make himself out some kind of hero.

Again ... what specific behavior did Trump exhibit that led Milley and the rest of you with TDS to believe it was OK to go behind the president's back and collude with the enemy?

An answer other than "common sense" will definitely be one of the questions Milley will be facing at his hearing. And now he'll have to answer for the murder of innocents in Afghanistan.

Your man's credibility is plummeting.


Honestly, I just like watching this fool dance as he defends the indefensible.

Trump Devotion Syndrome is selectively incorporated by your ilk, Sassy.

We all watched the Orange Doofus act crazily after the election and through and beyond the insurgency at the Capitol.

Send a letter to General Milley and ask him specifically. Research online. Do these things because you will not believe me.

The General's common sense and cred are beyond the carping of the Trump, alt right, conservatarian view. Their opinion is not sensible, not in the best interest of America.

Still can't answer question with specific facts can you Jake? How can I believe you when you haven't made a definitive statement about the behavior you think Trump showed that justifies Milley's treason.

You argue with such vigor but without facts. That's a very leftist thing to do. Letting your Trump Derangement Syndrome get the best of you and your "ilk".

Define crazily. And, don't forget to show proof that Trump was going to nuke China which is the premise your treasonous Milley and your ilk are harping about.

No one has to give 'specific' facts because you guys have not given anything that can be used to charge the General with any crimes.

Your Trump Devotion Syndrome is cute as you all crazily careen around the room waving your hands and screaming.

Milley said Trump was not (instead of 'was') going to attack China.

We are so lucky the new green is no longer orange.

You used the word crazily and still haven't defined it as pertinent to Trump's actions. You, like all your ilk, dream up and fantasize what you think Trump might do and then accuse him of it.

Again, you have shown no facts that warrant Milley's treason. Just deflections because you have nothing. NOTHING .. other than your delusional rantings that further prove you have TDS.

You seem to think Milley is justified in his actions and yet you have not given any facts to prove he didn't commit a treasonout act .. other than your fantasies.

Oh, and look what else has surfaced about your traitor Milley .. which shows he's 100% a liberal and not apolitical as he's supposed to be as a military officer..


Gen. Mark Milley reportedly suggested the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots that caused an estimated one billion dollars in damage were trivial, according to authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in the book Peril.

"Mr. President, they are not burning it down,” Milley gave his opinion to former President Trump about the riots sparked by George Floyd’s death.

I'm sorry that you don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to presenting facts to justify Milley's treason.

We finally have someone from the FAR LEFT RADICAL MINDLESS named Jake to demonstrate what MENTAL ILLNESS, Untreated, and allowed to FESTER does to the WEAK OF MIND.

Time for that daily treatment for TDS again.

Using the same words over and over again guarantee YOU are so mentally distressed, putting other words out has become a real chore while you remind us all of your FAVORITE Pre-school saying:

Working within the law to make sure the other side knows that Trump will not go all El Kabongo is good stuff.

And now we have the far righty and libertarian goofballs going all El Kabongo for preventing Trump from going all El Kabongo.
