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.
