A group of 124 retired military officials, under the name “Flag Officers 4 America,” released a letter echoing Donald Trump’s false attacks on the legitimacy of our elections.
Mancino claimed that while the Oklahoma Guard is not federally mobilized, his commander in chief is the Republican governor of the state, not the president.
Trump’s acting defense secretary, Christopher C. Miller, testified that he deliberately withheld military protection of the Capitol before Jan. 6.
Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly scrambled to ensure the nation’s nuclear defense chains were secure from illegal orders.
Our elected officials and those who enforce the law — including the Justice Department, the House select committee and the whole of Congress — must show more urgency.
Finally, the Defense Department should war-game the next potential post-election insurrection or coup attempt to identify weak spots.
The original article contains 892 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
But did they? I have no idea regarding legality from my European Armchair, but realistically what could and what would they do if it really comes down to some "missing" votes and Republicans yet again stealing an election?
I think you can be certain that preparations have been made. Whether it'll be enough is a different question
