Gen. Milley Personally Wrote Iran Invasion Plan, Pushed Trump to Attack
PJ Media ^ | 06/05/2023 | Ben Bartee

In the ongoing political persecution of Donald Trump, investigators have reportedly gotten their hands on the audio recording of an interesting conversation between the former president and his aides.

Via CNN:

Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.

The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said…

[Trump’s former chief of staff Mark] Meadows’ autobiography includes an account of what appears to be the same meeting, during which Trump “recalls a four-page report typed up by (Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) Mark Milley himself. It contained the general’s own plan to attack Iran, deploying massive numbers of troops, something he urged President Trump to do more than once during his presidency.

Note what CNN chose to emphasize here. Rather than elaborating on an unelected Deep State operative drawing up plans for World War III and then pressuring the sitting president to launch it, their obsession, due to their Trump Derangement Syndrome, is with trying to prove the president mishandled classified documents (which likely shouldn’t have been classified in the first place).

Of course, CNN’s defense contractor advertisers have been salivating for an Iran war since the Bush days. So it’s not surprising at all that they don’t bat an eye at plans drafted in the dark to commence an invasion of that country

Well, Woke Gen. Milley became a hero to the anti-Trump #Resistance last year on account of his self-hating prostration to the racialist mob, which came in the form of a slobbering defense of critical race theory.

General Milley didn’t write any war plan. He put his cover page on a plan written by the globalists.

All Presidents keep some classified documents, even Bush and Obama, not a crime

Milley is like Biden - a manipulated cipher with no basic principles, easily moved by whatever wind blows strongest at him.

You’d think if Milley was as bad as everyone says, Trump would have fired him. When in fact, Trump promoted him.

Where would he get “massive numbers of troops”?

The Army has less than 1 million uniformed personnel, only a fraction are deployable, and they are scattered around bases all over the globe.

I remember posting here at the time that Trump’s decision not to authorize military action against Iran after that U.S. drone was shot down over the Strait of Hormuz would go down as the defining moment of his presidency — and one of the defining moments of American history. He took a ton of grief over it — even to the point where it would ultimately lead to his demise as President — but I considered it one of the wisest decisions a U.S. President ever made.

He explained his decision at that time (I paraphrase): “Killing people over the loss of unmanned military hardware is excessive.”

I said at the time that the U.S. probably hasn’t had a leader who thought in such clear, objective moral terms in more than 200 years.

Exactly how does this preclude Trump from declassifying this document?

It doesn’t. It’s another handful of poop thrown against a wall and somehow we are supposed to believe that it has more gavitas because Milley’s name is attached to it.

Keep in mind, this is the same Milley and National Command Authority who LIED directly to Trump’s face when they told him that we had no boots on the ground in Syria.

It was not classified any longer. And Trump punked Milley. Renege when the news was filled with stories about the eminent attack on Iran. Bastards tried to box Trump in and make him attack.

Trump has the final and total authority to ‘unlcassify’ anything.

There is no ceremony involved, or paperwork required. He can merely say “I unclassify thee” and poof- they are unclassified. He does not even have to tell anyone he unclassified them.

Trump held on to some documents that were formerly classified. They knew he had them. HE TOLD THEM what he had. They were given a chance to review his storage facility, and they recommended the locks he should use. He invited them to come and review.

Instead, they raided his house when he was out of town.

So, you justify keeping people like Milley, Fauci, Birx, etc, in positions of extreme power under the cover of "keep your enemies closer"?

That's really the way you're going to go? Lol.

You Trumpies twist yourselves into some interesting pretzels to justify his errors. "Allowing Fauci to wield unimaginable power was just Trump's way of keeping an eye on him!"

LOL!
