I thought Trump fired this guy.
Or put him on notice he was gone the moment he took office.
Weiner needs to check his sources.
Ordered by whom? Obama?
Can’t Trump just issue an order reinstating him at the same time?
Couldn’t President Trump reinstate him at 12:01:01 PM?
The general offered his resignation, as per SOP when administrations change...and team Trump accepted his resignation.
Barry had nothing to do with it.
Here is a Business Insider article on the dismissal.
It certainly is strange.
“A memo announcing the removal of Maj. Gen. Errol Schwartz obtained by The Washington Post says the 65-year-old general will be out of a job at 12:01 p.m. on January 20. Schwartz confirmed the memo to The Post and said he would retire at that time but that did not know the reason for his dismissal.”

One only needs to look to the history of left wing governments to see how this sort of behavior is text book.Be prepared for several years of it.
Im hoping for Ferguson and LA riots on steroids. The worse the mayhem the stronger the backlash. Bring it on b!tche$.
Still no answer to this .... Bump
We’ve been through scares like this before. It’s under control.
I still don’t understand what happened—bump—and I read the whole thread on another post
Extracted from the Washington Compost: “As is customary, Schwartz, like other presidential appointees, submitted a letter of resignation to give the new administration a clean start....The Trump transition team made the decision to accept Schwartz’s resignation, according to a military official with knowledge of the situation.....Another military official with knowledge of the process said the Trump transition team receives lists of political appointees and can decide which resignations to accept. Army officials declined to comment on that part of the process. All resignations are effective at 12:01 p.m. on Inauguration Day.”
One of the first things you learn in the Army is Chain Of Command.
It even came down to Date Of Rank in some instances.
“I was promoted to First Lieutenant on 18 September 2003 and you were promoted to First Lieutenant on 19 September 2003. That makes me in charge.”
The second in command is prepared to take over and so is the third in command and the fourth in command on down the line.
It isn’t going to fall apart because this Soldier is retiring.
Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz, who heads the D.C. National Guard and is an integral part of overseeing the inauguration, said Friday he has been ordered removed from command effective Jan. 20, 12:01 p.m., just as Donald Trump is sworn in as president.
Obama will not be Potus at that time. Trump will be POTUS.
Only Trump can fire Schwartz at that point in time.
If Obama wanted to cause problems, he would fire Schwartz at 12:01 am leaving 12 hours without a General in charge of the DC Guard or fire Schwartz 24 hours before Trump becomes POTUS.
Meh, the NG has a role, but I don’t think they are even having a full mobilization for this.
The inauguration should be held indoors.
A Brigadier General has already been appointed to take over the command at 12:01PM.
The General is now whining and calling this a firing. Possibly because he is African American, he's making a stink to make Trump look racist. Either way, Trump didn't go after this guy, he resigned.
Obama wasn't involved in this one. He's too busy blowing kisses to Castro and criminals by making midnight changes to long standing American policies and signing pardons.
I’ve read a lot of silly stuff the last few weeks but his ranks high.
The Inauguration seems far off in the distance of time. It’s as if there’s a wilderness of difficult terrain and swift deadly rivers between here and there.
