How can 0bola order him fired at 12:01, when 0 is no longer prez?
Obama will be much too busy pardoning his cronies in the last hour of his presidency to worry about firing people.
What I haven’t seen mentioned so far:
The National Guard’s prescribed functions include THE ENFORCEMENT OF MARTIAL LAW.
Ok. Hold that thought.
Now consider this: the commies’ planned disruptions are not likely to wait until the swearing in is completed, and commence at exactly 12:01 pm.
No. Chaos will be well underway hours, or even the day before. Their well-publicized goal is to prevent Trump from being sworn in.
Now, do we believe Obama has any interest in stopping any rioting? If anything, he wants another Baltimore / Ferguson X 10.
He wants chaos at fever pitch.
But we know he’s a liar; he could easily CLAIM a desire for civil order /peaceful transition, while seizing the opportunity to declare martial law ostensibly to accomplish that (”Gosh, folks. I had no choice!) but in fact to keep himself in office.
In that context, why would he remove the NG commander effective 12:01?
That seems counterintuitive. It indicates that, if indeed Obama is the one who canned Schwarz, he wants Trump to inherit a mess on the streets with nobody in charge, but that he does want Trump in the Oval Office.
OR, instead it might indicate Obama knows Schwarz wasn’t on board with the plan, and he’s got Schwarz’s replacement in his back pocket, TBA @ 12:02. Remember, Obama has been purging the military for awhile.
The flip side of all this is, maybe Schwarz was on board with it (”Jes following orders, Boss!”) and Trump got wind of it.
The discovery of guns hidden along the route suggests this scenario.
Trump may already know that he’ll be walking into a declared martial law situation, and he knows he can’t do anything about it until he’s sworn in. So he sent out the advance memo to Schwarz-—”You’re fired!”—and he’s got Schwarz’s replacement in HIS back pocket.
Boom. Checkmate.
