In his testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, General Mark Milley defended his calls with Chinese officials, which he says were to “cool down” tensions with his counterpart amid rumors of a forthcoming military attack, and discussed a phone call he had with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), whom he suggested encouraged him to undermine the president’s ability to launch a nuclear attack.
Pelosi announced on Twitter in January that she’d spoken with Gen. Milley about the nuclear launch procedures, apparently in an effort to strip then-president Donald Trump of his nuclear launch capabilities, just one day after calling on Vice President Mike Pence to initiate a “25th Amendment” proceeding, which would have stripped Trump of his position for the final days of his presidency.
“This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike,” Pelosi said in a letter to colleagues. “The situation of this unhinged President could not be more dangerous, and we must do everything that we can to protect the American people from his unbalanced assault on our country and our democracy.”
In their book, “Peril,” journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa went into detail on the call, adding that Pelosi and Milley agreed that Trump was “crazy.”
Milley told Pelosi that there were “a lot of checks in the system” to prevent Trump from going rogue, the book said.
Pelosi reportedly then told Milley: “He’s crazy. You know he’s crazy.”
“He’s crazy and what he did yesterday is further evidence of his craziness,” Pelosi added, referring to the deadly Capitol riot.
According to the book, Milley responded, “I agree with you on everything.”
Let her share his gallows.
I can’t recall America looking so damn weak to the world in my lifetime, even during Jimmy Carter. EVERY segment of our government, from Congress to the White House, to the Pentagon, to Treasury to the Fed Chairman himself seems totally incompentent and useless, flailing and failing very on almost a daily basis for the entire planet to see. Xi is licking his chops.
Gen. Milley: Nancy Pelosi Tried To Undermine Nuclear Launch Chain Of Command

She didn’t “ try”
She DID and YOU DID milley.
MUTINY and TREASON.
By your own admission on national TV and in front of congress.
You’re as disgusting a weasel as fauci milley.
That’s why she was so hot and heavy against the people at the Capital on Jan. 6th. She is trying to distract from the fact she is guilty of more than those protesters are.
Which proves not only 18 U.S. Code § 4 - Misprision of felony, it proves 18 USC § 2382 - Misprision of treason.
And just for S&G's 18 USC § 2384 Seditious conspiracy
I wonder if Pelosi can be called to testify on her phone call to Milley.
This little speech by Milley makes no sense. I believe there is a lot more to this than what he said. He infers she spoke with him re: chain of command in regard to his mental capacity yet as SOH, she knows damn well what the procedure is and she also knows how to hamstring a President via the 25th and they attempted that and failed. He’s watering down what was actually said.
The country needed a military leader in Milley’s position that would have said to Ms Pelosi that the conversation she sought to have with him could not happen, and then left her sitting on her end alone.
Pot meet kettle. Treason twins.
If a president is compromised we have the 25th amendment. There is no other recourse. Milley and Pelosi should be tried for treason.
Pelosi announced on Twitter in January that she’d spoken with Gen. Milley about the nuclear launch procedures.
Is that not treason?.
Fine!
Toss them both in GitMo.
