Graham and Milley were seen dining together, too.

Milley as the top ranking military officer met with top military officials in the Pentagon two days after the MAGA riot and telling them to keep him in the process for all military actions, including the use of nuclear weapons.
It also involved outreach to Milley's counterpart in the Chinese military to provide reassurances the US would not strike its rival, according to the book.
'If you get calls, no matter who they’re from, there’s a process here, there’s a procedure. No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure,' he told top US military officials inside the Pentagon's war room two days after the riot,'
'You never know what a president's trigger point is,' Milley told them, according to the book, which relies on Woodward's well-established methods of relying on 'deep background' information provided sources, some of them anonymously, as well as documents and interviews, to attempt to reconstruct events and conversations.
He feared Trump was suffering 'serious mental decline,' Woodward and coauthor Bob Costa reported.
Milley told them, according to the book: 'The strict procedures are explicitly designed to avoid inadvertent mistakes or accident or nefarious, unintentional, illegal, immoral, unethical launching of the world’s most dangerous weapons.'
'Got it?' Milley asked his team members. 'Yes, sir,' they replied, in an exchange Milley considered 'an oath.'
Milley told CIA Director Gina Haspel: 'Aggressively watch everything, 360.' The authors write that Milley was concerned Trump might go 'rogue.'
Just as stunning were Milley's reported actions that same date to the head of China's powerful military, to reassure his counterpart that the US was not going to attack China and set off a clash with a major nuclear power.

Milley would NEVER do that to pedo/senile Old Joe... Willie nilly Milley needs to be drummed out of service - the sooner the better. He’s nuts.
so he made the US defenseless again a Nuke attack
Sounds like a coup was underway. Maybe the general should be convicted of treason and executed
The seeds for this stemmed from three Republican players who
thought Trump should never be president.
Today everyone has accepted them back into our camp.
The harm they did to our cause is immeasurable.
McConnell, Ryan, this numbskull, they all let their imagination
get the better of them.
China could have used that period to launch an attack.
Any delay in response would have been crucial.
This guy and anyone buying in from a military position,
should be brought up on charges.
cool, thanks for the other links
Shocking and unacceptable. Treason. No clearer case.
And this has to be developed under oath in his next testimony. He may be coming to speak about Afghanistan, but every Republican on any committee he appears before better be prepared to ask him about communications with Pelosi after 1/6/2021, and actions he took in violation of the chain of command. He needs to be removed, perhaps prosecuted, but not until he goes under oath on this.
So should Pelosi.
Now now. He’s got the coveted “Typing Above and Beyond the Call of Duty” Award. Plus the “Best Caddy” Medal he earned as a brown bar.
THAT is the inssurection they’ve been trying to cover up!
Look the generals have already come out and said publicly they disobeyed President Trump’s orders (see Syria) so what’s another treasonous POS Brass publicly declaring it AGAIN!!!???
Agree.
Just as stunning were Milley’s reported actions that same date to the head of China’s powerful military, to reassure his counterpart that the US was not going to attack China and set off a clash with a major nuclear power.
Arrogating to himself powers and responsibilities to which he was not entitled. This is general court martial territory.
The original purpose of James Bond and the other 00’s was to kill those that messed with nuclear weapons. Milley’s tinkering with the process seriously deserves a few bullets in his head.
If Milley is still there when President Trump is reelected, he needs to have an accident or a suicide, to send a strong message to other ambitious tinkerers.
Entirely possibly, of course.
Either way, General Flynn et al, has packaged and widely-distributed the evidence and the anti-MAGA's know it. At the very least, someone most definitely played Milley's ego.
Now the future of our nation turns on valid elections and an admin that will accept the evidence - and that is a close question.
And they accused TRUMP of “collusion”!
then
I’m sure that the next time he visits China he will get an envelop full of money and a couple of pre-teen girls for a week for his efforts.
