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.
The commander of the D.C. National Guard is appointed by POTUS. He serves at pleasure of POTUS so he can only be dismissed by POTUS. Donald Trump is not yet POTUS so I do not see how he can issue any order to fire the general until after he is sworn in.

From the link you posted...
“Business Insider attempted to contact the National Guard Bureau for comment but reached a recording on the press number that directed journalists to call another number, which had a recording directing callers back to the previous number.
The DC National Guard website does not list any contact information.”
HMMM... The most transparent administration ever?
Trump/Pence = drain the swamp!
It is a bit better source.
Maybe it is what happened. Sounds rather strange given the antipathy to cooperating with President Elect Trump that we have seen at the EPA and Department of State.
It would make sense that the Pentagon would be more cooperative, given how badly they have been treated by Obama.
Wild......the bikers will be out in force. If they kick a few @zzes or crack a few skulls, things will settle down. That may be just a rumor or wishful thinking on my part. :-)
The inauguration should be held indoors.
Which does not explain why the pentagon pulled him now
“I thought Trump fired this guy.”
all this biz about this guy being fired stems from ONE memo that WaPo CLAIMS they “obtained”, but they haven’t actually published the memo or anything in it, including who signed it or why.
I’m taking it as a literal interpretation of accepting his letter making his resignation effective at 1201 hours on 20 January. He will have a 2nd in command to take over. To me it is the WaComPost continuing its “terror” campaign against President-elect Trump.
Thinking about this is seems it might be a bit of malicious “I will follow your orders to the letter” B.S.
A good soldier will advise his commander about such traps.
“Sir, would it not be wise to accept the D.C. Guard commander’s resignation at 22:01, after the inauguration is complete? That would give him time to finish security for the ceremony.”
An enemy would say “Yes, Sir” and never let on that the order created a potential problem.
i would think so.
Something rotten here. I followed the links and saw that this Schwartz is an African American (typically I think it’s a Jewish name). And a few alt left fake news sites are coming up,with “Trump fires African American general” headlines.
Could Trump fire anyone yet? Or did his people just sign off on the guys resignation? Who determined thst he has to leave in the middle of the inauguration? The army? Bad optics.
A Brigadier General has already been appointed to take over the command at 12:01PM.
The General is now whining and calling this a firing. Possibly because he is African American, he's making a stink to make Trump look racist. Either way, Trump didn't go after this guy, he resigned.
Obama wasn't involved in this one. He's too busy blowing kisses to Castro and criminals by making midnight changes to long standing American policies and signing pardons.
Are you sure?
I’ve read a lot of silly stuff the last few weeks but his ranks high.
The Inauguration seems far off in the distance of time. It’s as if there’s a wilderness of difficult terrain and swift deadly rivers between here and there.
