Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz, who heads the D.C. National Guard and is an integral part of overseeing the inauguration, said Friday he has been ordered removed from command effective Jan. 20, 12:01 p.m., just as Donald Trump is sworn in as president.
Michael Savage, of the Savage Nation radio show, today detailed out the huge ramifications of this dismissal because it NEGATIVELY impacts the ability to draw upon thousands of soldiers to crowd control the agitators who we know will be there to disrupt the inauguration.
Obama did this on purpose to destroy Trump’s first day in office and for this reason Hussein should be immediately removed from office and arrested for inciting a riot, which we now know will be encouraged by the leftist wackos.
We’ve been through scares like this before. It’s under control.
I’m filling air tanks and cleaning regulators today and going diving tomorrow. Maybe I can locate the tools, I lost in last year’s boating accident!
I hear many others, like me, are doing the same thing this weekend!
Ain't GPS grand?
The general offered his resignation, as per SOP when administrations change...and team Trump accepted his resignation.
Barry had nothing to do with it.
Trump is not yet president.
Probably he was told he wouldn’t be re-appointed. Which is normal for an incoming administrations, who normally wants to “reward” their supporters with “plum” appointed positions. He goes and complains to Zero. So Zero ‘fires him’ since only Zero at this point had the authority to do so. The compliant press then re-casts this as an “incident” where Trump exceeding his authority. They hope to spin it into something “racial” since this guy is black.
In any case, doesn’t authority fall to his executive officer?
Usually, the Exec would be next in the Chain of command. It is all known before hand. Every military organization has a chain of command that people in the organization know and have access to.
I still don’t understand what happened—bump—and I read the whole thread on another post
And with that being said! Trump should Deputize the million bikers that plan to show up for the inauguration and grant them immunity from bringing their tools with them. And then give them full authority to thin the herd.
The Washington Post is now a valid news source?
Another possibility....
General Schwartz might have been pro-Trump. He might have let it slip that he was glad to see Trump coming to the White House or how happy he was to serve on Inauguration Day.
Word got back to the Petulant Child. Who then fired the good General.
Now THAT I could believe. Obastard is that petty.
The articles I’ve read said that the orders came from the pentagon
We agree
Extracted from the Washington Compost: “As is customary, Schwartz, like other presidential appointees, submitted a letter of resignation to give the new administration a clean start....The Trump transition team made the decision to accept Schwartz’s resignation, according to a military official with knowledge of the situation.....Another military official with knowledge of the process said the Trump transition team receives lists of political appointees and can decide which resignations to accept. Army officials declined to comment on that part of the process. All resignations are effective at 12:01 p.m. on Inauguration Day.”
All good things come to those who wait!
And, plan ahead!
BLOAT
The General was placed in his command position by GWB, not Obama who did retain him.
“The Washington Post is now a valid news source?”
Lets just say their story makes a heck of a lot more sense than the notion that Citizen Obama can fire the general at 12:01....which is absolutely 100% impossible.
Savage got this one wrong.
Do you accept the Daily Mail as a source?

That’s an explanation that fits the known facts also!
One of the first things you learn in the Army is Chain Of Command.
It even came down to Date Of Rank in some instances.
“I was promoted to First Lieutenant on 18 September 2003 and you were promoted to First Lieutenant on 19 September 2003. That makes me in charge.”
The second in command is prepared to take over and so is the third in command and the fourth in command on down the line.
It isn’t going to fall apart because this Soldier is retiring.

Obama will not be Potus at that time. Trump will be POTUS.
Only Trump can fire Schwartz at that point in time.
If Obama wanted to cause problems, he would fire Schwartz at 12:01 am leaving 12 hours without a General in charge of the DC Guard or fire Schwartz 24 hours before Trump becomes POTUS.
Went boating last week and my prop struck metallic objects in 80 feet of water due to tragic boating accidents. Going back tomorrow with diving gear, I might find some good stuff. :)
Meh, the NG has a role, but I don’t think they are even having a full mobilization for this.
