Woodward: The One ‘Courageous Person’ in Trump’s Circle Was Gen. Milley

Trent Baker 22 Sep 2021

Tuesday on  CBS’s “The Late Show,” journalist Bob Woodward discussed his book, “Peril,” which details the transition from President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

According to Woodward, the “one courageous person” in Trump’s circle who did something was Gen. Mark Milley, who reportedly operated behind the president’s back and even told China he would warn them ahead of an attack.

“How many of the people talking to you for this book are trying to rehabilitate their own image by saying, ‘I always thought it was bad. I pushed back?'” host Stephen Colbert asked Woodward.

“Some, yes, no question about that. And the one courageous person who did something was General Milley,” Woodward said to applause. “He said, ‘I am going to…’ I mean, there is a scene in the book, which took our breaths away, I think, when Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House, second in line for the presidency, calls General Milley, and we have a transcript of it, and says, ‘General Milley, you know Trump is crazy. He is, you know, he is dangerously crazy. How are we going to control nuclear weapons?’ And Milley says, “Oh, don’t worry, we have procedures,’ and so forth. And she is pounding on him real hard. And it’s a classic Washington moment phone call. And to have a transcript. So you see not the b.s., but what they’re really saying to each other. And then after the call, Milley thinks, ‘You know, she’s right. We better worry about Trump.’ And so he calls in the colonels and one-star generals and admirals into his office from the War Room in the Pentagon … and he says, ‘All right, we have these procedures. Don’t take a call from the president without me being involved.'”

What more proof of treason do you need beyond his own words?

Generals in America,do NOT make policy. That's what we elect politicians to do.

What Milley and now it turns out his Deputy and now Army Chief of Staff GEN McConville did should worry EVERY American regardless of their political leanings.  There is a very good reason we have civilian control over the military.  And What Milley and Co. did behind the scenes is that reason.

Milley and any Go or Senior officer that knew about this and didn't report it or hand a hand in making those orders happen need to be Courts Martialed and if convicted spend some time at Leavenworth.

Any GS or SES civilian that was a party to this and didn't report it or enforced the orders needs to be arrested and tried for subversion and treason.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Imagine the scoops this phony could report if he decided to turn his journalistic instincts on a democrat administration, say, Biden.

@txradioguy

You have a typo that caused you to misspell "treason".

Now I know why Woodhead put that in the book about Milley calling the CCP.  He thinks it's a wonderful thing that Milley did that.

Colluding with the enemy, and what is more, doing so on the basis of a delusion.  Even were his actions not treasonous, Milley's lack of political and strategic discernment in even thinking that the one President since Jimmy Carter to not start a war, who as a matter of policy had been winding down the ongoing military campaigns we were involved in, would start a war by an act aggression during his lame duck period should disqualify him from command responsibilities at an level above division commander.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Woodward Defends Milley — He Thought Trump Might Cause a ‘Pearl Harbor’

Pam Key 28 Sep 2021

Author Bob Woodward said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that General Mark Milley feared former President Donald Trump could have caused a “Pearl Harbor” with China in the last days of his presidency.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “When Milley hung up, you write, he was convinced the situation was grave. General Li, Milley’s Chinese counterpart, remained unusually rattled, putting the two nations on the knife-edge of disaster. From your reporting, how close was the U.S. to some military conflict?”

Woodward said, “Well, Milley’s whole point in this is that miscommunication is the seed of war.”

Tapper asked, “Do you think if General Milley, based on your reporting, had not made that call, had not made that effort to convince General Li, his counterpart, not to overreact, do you think it’s possible that something might have happened?”

Woodward said, “Milley felt that’s the case. And if you look at this and you go to the environment, the first call was October 30, four days before the election, the most contentious election in modern history, and Trump was out there accusing China. It’s the China virus. He was saying things about the election. And all of a sudden, you get, which Milley acknowledged today, very sensitive intelligence that the Chinese think we’re going to attack them. That is the disaster environment for somebody in the military.”

He continued, “As Milley told his senior staff, you might wind up getting a Pearl Harbor where someone will make the first move. We don’t know what would have happened if he hadn’t done this, but if you look at — these are reasonable precautions. We found no evidence, and Bob Costa and I had months to look at this, that Milley had done anything other than what he felt in a crisis moment was, I’m going to do the maximum amount to protect the country.”

Woodward added, “When this is all washed out, those who are saying that General Milley actually was treasonous in what he did, I think are going to owe the general an apology.”

I don't give a damn what he thought, his JOB is advise the president and then keep his mouth shut and do what he is told!

Great timing from Woodward.  Maybe one of the GOP senators might ask Smilley if he said this.

BLOWHARD WOODWORD HAS USED UP HIS 15 MIN OF FAME LONG AGO. BE NICE IF HE STFU.

MILLEY WAS A TRAITOR, DISINGENUOUS, ARROGANT, DEVIOUS, WORSE THAN WORTHLESS, & DESERVES TO BE ARRESTED & TRIED, IF NOT HUNG.
