General Mark Milley Admits Trump Was Being Managed By Administrative State Group Who Run Government, Mike Pompeo and Mark Meadows Assisted

Years of agonizing and frustrating reviews and analysis of the Trump administration activity in real-time are reconciling today. During Senate testimony today before the Armed Services Committee, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, General Mark Milley, clarified some very painful issues to accept. President Trump was being heavily managed by operatives of the Senior Executive Service (SES), and his inner circle was willfully participating.
What follows is in no way a defense of Milley, quite the contrary, Milley is a brutally political, manipulative, entitled and arrogant member of the United States armed forces. His delusions of grandiosity represent the worst of our nation and can only be topped by one other, Anthony Fauci.
Earlier today, Milley was attempting to flex his power in the almost identical way we saw former FBI Director James Comey pull the same angle. You might remember, during congressional testimony in March 2017 when Comey was questioned about why he never informed congressional ‘gang-of-eight’ oversight about the preceding eleven month FBI investigating the incoming President, Donald Trump. Director Comey pontificated, obfuscated, dodged carefully, and then deflected responsibility by saying he informed the “national security council” under President Obama.
When General Milley attempted to justify his unilateral contacts with Chinese military officials, he made a similar, and remarkably telling, admission and deflection.
For the January 8th phone call with General Lee of China, Milley stated he informed President Trump’s Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Keep in mind that Kash Patel has publicly stated General Milley did not inform Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller directly; at least to his knowledge. So, Milley’s secondary point about notifying Christopher Miller in January 2020 needs to be reconciled carefully.
Listen carefully to how Milley is describing those calls.

There is no one with the power to do that.

This Sundance still cannot write after all these years.
And I would not believe Milley.
The basic truth that deep state did conspire against Trump is true.
Swamp is deep.

Who wouldn’t be paranoid? Especially after Comey hit him with the piss tape crap. He must have thought: “My God, what am I into here? Who is on my side or, at least, not against me?”

Twelve years and done. That goes for janitors to generals. That should also include contractors.
and no “circling back”...
taking a couple of years off, working as a lobbyist, then coming back for another helping at the trough. Once you serve your term, done forever.

Complete article for context.
Years of agonizing and frustrating reviews and analysis of the Trump administration activity in real-time are reconciling today. During Senate testimony today before the Armed Services Committee, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, General Mark Milley, clarified some very painful issues to accept. President Trump was being heavily managed by operatives of the Senior Executive Service (SES), and his inner circle was willfully participating.
What follows is in no way a defense of Milley, quite the contrary, Milley is a brutally political, manipulative, entitled and arrogant member of the United States armed forces. His delusions of grandiosity represent the worst of our nation and can only be topped by one other, Anthony Fauci.
Earlier today, Milley was attempting to flex his power in the almost identical way we saw former FBI Director James Comey pull the same angle. You might remember, during congressional testimony in March 2017 when Comey was questioned about why he never informed congressional ‘gang-of-eight’ oversight about the preceding eleven month FBI investigating the incoming President, Donald Trump. Director Comey pontificated, obfuscated, dodged carefully, and then deflected responsibility by saying he informed the “national security council” under President Obama.
When General Milley attempted to justify his unilateral contacts with Chinese military officials, he made a similar, and remarkably telling, admission and deflection.
For the January 8th phone call with General Lee of China, Milley stated he informed President Trump’s Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Keep in mind that Kash Patel has publicly stated General Milley did not inform Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller directly; at least to his knowledge. So, Milley’s secondary point about notifying Christopher Miller in January 2020 needs to be reconciled carefully.
Listen carefully to how Milley is describing those calls. Specifically, pay attention to Milley saying the calls were initiated by him in response to “concerning intelligence, which caused us to believe the Chinese were worried about an attack on them by the United States.” It is important to note what this is NOT.
The contact by Chairman Milley was not initially triggered by the Chinese contacting him or any U.S. official about their concerns. The contact to them is justified by saying the U.S. intelligence community was generating intelligence that said the Chinese were worried. The Chinese did not say they were worried, the U.S. intelligence community were saying they were worried. Knowing how the Deep State, aka Fourth Branch of Government operates, keep that key point in mind.
Milley goes on to say, he was attempting to “deescalate” a situation the Chinese had never escalated. Think about that carefully.
[WATCH from 09:00 forward, Prompted]
The first call, driven by U.S. Intelligence Community alarms, was made in October, before the election. Then another call was requested by the Chinese on December 30, 2020, for scheduling on January 8, 2021, after the U.S. election. Note this important statement surrounding the January 8th call:
“Shortly after my call ended with General Lee, I personally informed Secretary of State Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff Meadows, about the call – among other topics.”
Notice who General Milley did not inform. General Milley did not inform President Trump, nor his national security advisor Robert O’Brien. This framework appears intentional; however, when you overlay what we previously suspected and outlined about Mark Meadows and Secretary Pompeo, it all makes sense.
Just like many other people who preceded them in the administration, Meadows and Pompeo were in place to manage President Trump. Unfortunately, accepting that reality brings with it a bunch of very concerning issues.
We’ve long suspected Mark Meadows was introduced into the Trump orbit specifically because the Fourth Branch was exerting influence and needed to mitigate any independent action by President Trump. This is the same scenario around introducing former CIA Director Mike Pompeo for the same purposes.
Mike Pompeo and Mark Milley worked unilaterally without President Trump’s authority on at least one situation during the winter of 2019 when U.S. strikes took place. [Background Here] [Background Here]. President Trump made Esper, Milley and Pompeo hold a press conference without Trump supporting them; then President Trump remained silent on the issue for days. There were other issues with Pompeo which looked sketchy, but that one specifically was a big red flag (or cherry on the proverbial cake).
Mark Meadows was the source of frequent leaks against President Trump including his health status during his COVID hospital stay. Mark Meadows was also the primary source for John Solomon when Meadows was in congress.
[Solomon made this admission during a podcast.]
During the peak of the 2018 “spygate” headlines, prior to the mid-term election, it became obvious that Solomon was being managed and steered in his reporting. It always appeared that Meadows was attempting to tamp-down outrage within the Trump base in order to manage it. John Solomon and the tick-tock club were a big factor in the success of that approach.

The Swamp has no fear of Trump. The Swamp thoroughly and completely defeated Trump. I absolute refuse to believe that Trump could not find true conservative MAGA patriots to fill his cabinet, if he looked! Rather, he listened to treacherous, backstabbing Uniparty (R) hacks who told him to nominate the very same treacherous, backstabbing Uniparty (R) hacks. This Trump fatal flaw has made me crazy for 3 1/2 years.

If TRUMP was being “managed”, it was the best management the USA has had since Reagan.
Now we have a REAL PUNCHINELLO in the office. Wonder who is pulling his strings.

"I think going to the Chief of Staff is the way it works for almost all presidents."
The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staffs reports to the President's Chief-of-Staff? One would think he would report directly to his Commander-in-Chief. I'd like to see what the official chain of command is for Milley to follow, especially when it comes to contacting the heads of military from other countries, specifically the military leaders of our enemies.

“I absolute refuse to believe that Trump could not find true conservative MAGA patriots to fill his cabinet, if he looked!”
This is one of the most absurdly naive statements I have ever read on FreeRepublic or anywhere else. If he looked you say. Which is to suggest he didn’t.
As I stated, when he realized he was being undermined at every turn he brought in numerous other outsiders he had known for years. They too betrayed him for their own personal glory. Seeking personal accolades from the MSM for their own benefit.
This world is full of people who lack honor and seek personal advantage. People of true honor are very few and far between. Trump is such a man. Surrounded by scumbags and cowards.

“Yet, despite ALL of this the man still fights on. Not deterred. Not wallowing in self pity. Trump fights on. And, it is this fighting spirit and dogged determination that The Swamp fears the most. It is also what motivates Trumps base to double down in support of him. He fights and so motivates his base to do so as well.”
This.
SOMEONE has to fight the growth of power of the state and reverse it, and expose the corruption of those controlling it...and none of us can do so without having someone like Trump who simply doesn’t care what is said about him or what they do to him. He is a national treasure and, if History is in any way just, he will be viewed as being as much of a hero as George Washington. He is trying to regain our independence from those who should be serving us, but are instead trying to rule us. I will loudly and proudly vote for him again, should he run in ‘24.

“surrounded by scum bags” HE PUT THERE! But go ahead, Trump, champion swamp drainer, could not do a single damn thing to staff his cabinet. It’s not his fault he was useless, he’s only the second coming of Washington. What ridiculous prattle. Your Cult of Trump shortsightedness is laughable.

This is a total crock - Milley is “admitting” this in order to suggest President Trump was a clueless puppet like Biden.
Trump wasn’t being “managed” by anyone - he was probably the least “managed” POTUS in modern times.

“President Trump was a man totally alone in The Swamp that is DC. Stabbed in the back and betrayed by nearly 100% of the people around him. He realized this after a short while. When he tried to bring in some of his own outsiders many of them betrayed him as well.”
I agree with you. Trump was surrounded by grifters, deep state operatives, GOPe and as you said, many of the folks he brought in from the outside weren’t any better.

Subject: General Milley Unpardonable
General Milley violated his oath of office. The Constitution unequivocally made the president commander in chief of the military. Therefore, civilian control of the military became sacrosanct and could never be violated. Remember that Truman had to fire MacArthur over that issue.
Vietnam provided an example of how legitimate behavior could have forestalled warfare options. McNamara stood between the JCOS and Johnson about Vietnam War escalation. His job became easier, because the JCOS often behaved more like bureaucrats than soldiers, sailors, or airmen.
However, the JCOS finally united, and there was a reckoning described in the article titled “Vietnam 1965: The Day It Became the Longest War”. They were concerned about committing to a land war. After making their presentation, which Johnson turned into a charade, they were treated to an unnerving and degrading performance.
“He screamed obscenities, he cursed them personally, he ridiculed them for coming to his office with their ‘military advice.’ Noting that it was he who was carrying the weight of the free world on his shoulders, he called them filthy names-shitheads, dumb shits, pompous assholes-and used ‘the F-word’ as an adjective more freely than a Marine in boot camp would use it.”
Based on what occurred, a proper course of action for them would have been to resign, and in civilian clothes, hold a press conference to explain their reasons for resigning. As junior officers, they had already risked much more than pensions and resumes. If truly disturbed, Milley should have done likewise.
