This is a political appt made by the President. The guy is 65 years old and it’s time to move on.

For what it’s worth Dept.........

snip
From the Washington Post article

.....
As is customary, Schwartz, like other presidential appointees, submitted a letter of
resignation to give the new administration a clean start. He had done so before, but
the Obama administration twice declined to accept.

The Trump transition team made the decision to accept Schwartz’s resignation,
according to a military official with knowledge of the situation.
end snip

Other posting on this topic since yesterday if anyone cares to read thru them.

When you plan a coup, the officer who commands the troops on the streets of the capital city is a key guy.

Friday, January 20 is the only day the streets of DC can be flooded with soldiers without raising alarm.

And the soldiers of the DCNG are raised from a population which voted 95% for Hillary.

It’s concerning that the transition team wanted this guy to stay, but the Army said no. I hope Mattis has troops ready to move in the event of need.

Jim, You have drunk too much of the conspiracy wine. Members of the DC National Guard also live in Maryland and Virginia, not just the District. And some whom I know, voted for Trump. The DC guard will be on the streets, the DC Guard band for one will be marching and playing music.

From the Fox story this morning, it was the General who said “No” when extended the offer, that REQUIRED that the Army issue an order that he was relieved of command at 12:01 pm on 20 January.

I suspect there’s more to it. He’s likely a political hack and cannot be relied on to crack down on agitators when necessary - and, obviously, people like that cannot be permitted to stay in place.

Per Fox, it is SOP for this to happen at noon on inauguration day - they say Trump offered to let him stay through the inauguration proceedings and he refused.....he’s a “look at me” hound and leans so far Left the world is tilted 88 degrees to the right from his view.

The Washington Post rewrote their article without saying it was an update.

Here’s the first thread to explain the confusion
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3513774/posts

Original at 1:55pm

https://web.archive.org/web/20170113200317/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/commanding-general-of-dc-national-guard-to-be-removed-from-post/2017/01/13/725a0438-d99e-11e6-b8b2-cb5164beba6b_story.html?utm_term=.cb7c2e1c1428

Current article at 5:23pm yesterday

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/commanding-general-of-dc-national-guard-to-be-removed-from-post/2017/01/13/725a0438-d99e-11e6-b8b2-cb5164beba6b_story.html?postshare=5791484342584020&tid=ss_tw-bottom&utm_term=.6223ecfdc9fe

They added this in the update:

“Military officials and Trump transition officials provided contradictory versions of the decision to replace Schwartz. As is customary for presidential appointees, the general submitted a letter of resignation to give the new administration a clean start.

Two military officials with knowledge of the situation said the Trump team decided to accept the resignation. A person close to the transition said transition officials wanted to keep Schwartz in the job for continuity, but the Army pushed to replace him.”

I think the Washington Post was playing games and whatever they hoped to accomplish by leaving out the whole story, didn’t work the way they anticipated.

Pretty sure that someone dubbed this a non-story yesterday and that the debunking comment is in the thread about this that appears in the sidebar.

Has his replacement been named? I haven’t seen anything about who is in charge in the middle of the inauguration.

Pray Pray Pray all goes well!
