Former State Department Official Warns Military is Planning to Derail Trump Presidency

“Treason”.

A former State Department official has warned that deep state insiders and elements of the military are planning to derail Trump’s presidency should he win the election.

On Sunday, NBC reported that “a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” are planning to use lawfare and other tactics to block Trump from exercising power on day one of his return to the Oval Office.

According to the article, these insiders will go all out “to foil any efforts to expand presidential power,” even if Trump has been given a mandate to do so by the American people.

“Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November,” states the article. “That involves preparing to take legal action and send letters to Trump appointees spelling out consequences they’d face if they undermine constitutional norms.”

However, critics say that the plan is clearly part of an effort to have the military override Trump’s constitutional authority as president.

“Never forget this tweet for the rest of your life,” wrote Mike Benz, executive director for Foundation For Freedom Online and former State Department official.

“This is an admitted plan, in advance, for the military to no longer observe the military chain of command. This is military-run government. This is a plan to end civilian-run government,” he added.

Commentator Michael Malice suggested that the plan was tantamount to “treason”.

Others agreed that the plot amounted to a clear indication that the establishment was ready to resort to treason to stop Trump fulfilling any kind of democratic mandate.

You're literally admitting to a group plotting treason. You realize that, right? And that you are admitting to being an accessory to it.

Just thought you should know that and you may want to go read up on the penalties.

Another respondent pointed out that the woman credited with organizing this plan, Mary B. McCord, is coordinating an “effort to strip Trump of his power as commander in chief.”

McCord is an ardent anti-Trump deep state asset, having approved FISA warrants to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide.

Under the Biden administration, the U.S. Military has pursued increasingly inane ‘woke’ policies that have severely impacted recruitment figures.

Last week, it was revealed that the number of new white U.S. Army recruits had dropped from 44,042 in 2018 to just 25,070 in 2023.

““Colonel” Vindman was an outlier and a Traitor who broke protocol and ethics repeatedly but a perfect example of what was coming.”

“Colonel” Vindman was the representative for the “Interagency” in Trump’s 2019 impeachment hearings. We don’t know who else is in the “Interagency” but high level military “brass” are likely suspects. The “Interagency” does not wish to be governed by the Peoples’ Choice.

Sounds like he has a pretty good life. He’s certainly not in Leavenworth or Club Fed where he belongs. He’s got plenty of opportunity for machinations in Ukraine which would not be the case if the mail-in ballots went for Trump in 2020.

If true, then treason is in season. So should our maximum efforts to expose it regardless of political affiliations.

Our jails aren’t half filled and our firing squads need the practice.

Time to clean ALL corrupt political swamps.

Mary B. McCord

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_B._McCord

Follow some of the links. These clods are communists who get high profile gooberment jobs as resume builders and to gain legitimacy and they have none. No legitimacy at all. They are true insurrectionists thinking that they are so much smarter than all the rest of us and only they are fit to command. They feed off of the the verdant pastures within the beltway but they are not part of any bucolic herd. They are leeches sucking the life out of us and breeding even more leeches.

If you see a smug air of supremacy in McCord do not doubt yourself. Georgetown University creates these people or rather completes their delusions of grandeur.

the upper ranks went thru numerous riffs under 0bama to weed out conservatives.

how do you think we ended up with a cross dresser being the head of the joint chiefs?

The rats have controlled the military for 12 of the last 16 years. In that time they have filled the upper ranks with treasonous scumbags like Milley. I should have been clearer. Trump was loved by the service people but hated by all flag generals the rats put in.

Don’t bet against Trump installing new generals and admiral’s immediately upon taking office. If the military tries a coupe against Trump it will no doubt lead to a civil war.

“In 2020 there was a 21 point swing to give Biden a big majority among military voters.”

I am very dubious of that claim. If anything didn’t pass the smell test that is it. If I had to guess, Trump votes got tossed en masse.

Well Biden did get 100% of the WWI Veteran vote.
