Milley is reported to have called a "secret meeting" at the Pentagon on January 8, in the wake of the Capitol riot that left one Trump supporter, Ashli Babbit, dead at the hands of police, and told staff that unless he was involved, they were not to take orders from anyone.
"No matter what you are told," Milley said, directly undermining presidential authority, "you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure." He sought visual confirmation from each person at that meeting before proceeding, and asked "Got it?"
Milley made the call, worried that Trump could "go rogue," according to Woodward and Costa, only two days after the Capitol riot on January 6. "You never know what a president's trigger point it," Milley reportedly told his senior staff.
Milley additionally had a private phone call with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, during which the two agreed that Trump was "crazy." This recount is based on a transcript of the call.
According to that transcript, per Woodward and Costa, Milley used that call to assure Pelosi as to the security of the US nuclear arsenal.
"What I'm saying to you is that if they couldn't even stop him from an assault on the Capitol, who even knows what else he may do? And is there anybody in charge at the White House who was doing anything but kissing his fat butt all over this?" Pelosi said, going on to say, "You know he's crazy. He's been crazy for a long time."
Milley agreed fully, saying "Madam Speaker, I agree with you on everything."
It was after this phone call that Milley began to take power into his own hands. He told his top staff, as well as the director of the National SecurityAgency and the CIA director, Gina Haspel, to watch everything "all the time."
I was wrong when I have been saying that there was no insurrection at the Capitol in January 2021. It just was the date of the insurrection was not January 6, but rather January 8.
milley is guilty of treason and pelosi is guilty of collusion with milley.
We need a January 8 commission to uncover how far this coup goes into our government and Military.
