Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley on Tuesday defended contacts with his Chinese counterpart in final weeks of the Trump administration as well as his decision to call a meeting of senior military officials to review the procedures for launching deadly weapons.

Milley belongs in a looney bin. But it seems that increasingly the Pentagon is one.

Now THAT is a twist worthy of a bureaucrat. Talk about spinning. I am surprised he did not fall out of his chair from dizziness.

Two questions that Milley should be asked 1) Was this call made with the knowledge and approval of the then Secretary of Defense or the President? 2) Does a transcript of the entire call exist?

Trump officials have denied authorizing nor knowing about Miss Milly giving the ChiComs a heads up. On the bright side, Miss also painted pecker puss Pelosi as crazy asking for a coup.

Still looking for answers as to who convinced Trump to appoint Gen. Milley Chairman of the JCS. Nobody seems to know.

On the other hand, he stands accused by Bob Woodward, who escalated a rogue break-in into a President-masterminded spy operation.

Does Woodward now stand by his story, or does he admit he was wrong?

Is that the reason why Trump made Milley Chairman of the JCS?
