I could be wrong, but I swear the original story - which I thought I read in its entirety - made no mention of the letters of resignation or of the Trump transition team. The (Washington Post) story as it appears now has a time stamp sometime after I made my original comments, so it might have been modified.

This is, I think, why the original story caused so much confusion - it either left out key facts, or those facts were buried so deep in the story that a lot of people missed them.

The original story made it sound like the general's termination came out of the blue, and that he had no idea what was going on.

They rewrote the story. A thread was just staTed addressing the issue.
