The new book Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa is meant to damage Donald Trump and it attempts to justify a potential act of treason by a windblown general. It reveals, if true, that General Milley betrayed then-President Donald Trump and the nation.
The media has swiftly come to defend Milley’s potential act of treason. Yet, it is even worse than first reported in The Washington Post.
As reported by CNN’s summary of the book, General Milley demanded total loyalty to him from the military command, and not to the President. He even made each commander take an oath TO HIM.
During his secret meeting on January 8th, 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 summary 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.
“Got it?” Milley asked, according to the book.
“Yes, sir.”
“Milley considered it an oath,” Woodward and Costa wrote.
An unusual situation. Hamilton did write a piece about the threat to the Republic from an abnormal, malignant personality- I believe he was referring to Burr.
But Fox News spoke with multiple individuals who were in the room during the two calls, which took place over video teleconference, not the phone. Officials said the calls were coordinated with the Defense secretary’s office.
