D.C. National Guard Chief Fired Days Before Trump Inauguration: “The Timing Is Extremely Unusual”

“The timing is extremely unusual,” Schwartz said in an interview Friday morning, confirming a memo announcing his ouster that was obtained by The Washington Post.
During the inauguration, Schwartz would command not only the members of the D.C. guard but also an additional 5,000 unarmed troops sent in from across the country to help. He also would oversee military air support protecting the nation’s capital during the inauguration.
“My troops will be on the street,” Schwartz, who turned 65 in October, said, “I’ll see them off but I won’t be able to welcome them back to the armory.” He said that he would “never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle.”
Schwartz, who was appointed to head the guard by President George W. Bush in 2008, maintained the position through President Obama’s two terms. He said his orders came from the Pentagon but that he doesn’t know who made the decision.
D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) blasted the decision to remove Schwartz, especially on Inauguration Day.
“It doesn’t make sense to can the general in the middle of an active deployment,” Mendelson said. He added that Schwartz’s sudden departure would be a long-term loss for the District. “He’s been really very good at working with the community and my impression was that he was good for the Guard.”
Unlike in states, where the governor appoints the National Guard commander, in the District that duty falls to the president.
Schwartz said that he has not been told why he was asked to step down. “I’m a soldier,” he said, noting that he was following orders and has no regrets. “I’m a presidential appointee, therefore the president has the power to remove me.”
Is this just another part of Obama’s “smooth” transition? Or is something even more sinister at work here, since we already know that anti-Trump activists are planning “the biggest protest in US history” on the day of the inauguratio
This person’s term expires at the end of the Obama administration. Trump would have to reappoint him.
This person recently stated the NG troops under his comment would not be answering to him on Inauguration day. They are parceled off to local police agencies.
I’m not sure what this headline is about, other than to cause folks to speculate.
This is evidently the same routine that goes on every Inauguration day.
comment > command
Michael Savage today detailed out the huge ramifications of this dismissal because it NEGATIVELY impacts the ability to draw upon several other military units to crowd control the agitators that we know will be there to disrupt the Inaugeration. Obama did this on purpose to destroy Trump’s first day of office.
What are the odds of an attempted assassination. Probably pretty high at this time.
Looks like it might be a setup. Got a bad smell to it.
My God,this is frightening.
Obama is pure evil.
