Jan. 6 panel says it is reviewing Milley actions
By Rebecca Beitsch - 09/16/21 02:17 PM EDT
The House Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol confirmed Thursday that it was reviewing the actions of Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley and other Pentagon officials following reporting examining his maneuvering during former President Donald Trump’s final days in office.
A forthcoming book details how Milley twice called his Chinese counterpart following the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to assure him Trump did not have plans to attack Beijing as part of a ploy to remain in power — sparking new calls for the general to resign.
The book “Peril,” by veteran journalist Bob Woodward and The Washington Post's Robert Costa also claims that Milley moved to limit Trump’s ability to call for a military strike or launch nuclear weapons after the riot.

“The facts surrounding steps taken at the Pentagon to protect our security both before and after January 6th are a crucial area of focus for the Select Committee. Indeed, the Select Committee has sought records specifically related to these matters and we expect the Department of Defense to cooperate fully with our probe,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in a statement.
Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson Col. Dave Butler on Wednesday confirmed that Milley called his Chinese counterparts after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol but said those calls were routine.

"Reviewing" Milley's actions, why? How do those relate to the (falsely) alleged trespassing on the Capitol building on Jan. 6?
This is just a convenient way of trying to sweep it all under the rug, because you know that the results of their "review" are a foregone conclusion.

In other news, the Capone family is reviewing reports of gangsters in Chicago...
Pelosi was in the loop, and I believe Schumer was, too. their little 1/6 panel is skewed.
There is nothing like having your co-conspirators "investigate" you.
Just for once, I'd like to see an independent investigation.

I think we can add Pence to that mix as well.

You may be right.
