national guard chief fired days before trump inauguration. This headline from Zero Hedge
There’s a lengthy thread on this.
We think this guy is tendered automatically once a president leaves office.
Bush appointed him in 2008, and Obama reappointed him in 2009.
This guy has also gone on record recently stating the guard would not be under his command on Inauguration day. It seems they are parceled out to police agencies for the day.
