... Miller who gave a stand down orders to the D.C. National Guard on 1/4/21. Before those orders were given
the D.C. National Guard had the authority to operate so as to respond to threats and protect the Citizens
of D.C., Government Buildings, and Federal Government operations. I believe they were to protect the D.C. local
government too.


WASHINGTON — President Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper on Monday, upending the military’s leadership at a time when Mr. Trump’s refusal to concede the election has created a rocky and potentially precarious transition.

Mr. Trump announced the decision on Twitter, writing in an abrupt post that Mr. Esper had been “terminated.”

Now I agree with Gen. Milley, Speaker Pelosi, and CIA Director Gina Haspel that Trump was and still is bat shit crazy but he damn well knew what he was doing in trying to overthrow the United States Government by sending a mob of his violent goons to storm the U.S. Capitol to stop the certification of Joe Biden as President. It was a coup. End of story. And some members of Congress, Fox News, right wing militia groups, active and retired members of the military, police and firefighters, and shits like Roger Stone, Eric Prince, and others were in on this treason from day one. And this operation had been in the works from the time Trump lost the election.


Lock 'em up. It has been 9 months.
