Good point.

Seems the Washington Post has a big ‘in’ with ‘intelligence services’.

That's certainly what the Washington Post people want you to think.

But is it true?

Washington Post is Fake News.

He is leaving DURING the ceremony. It seems nuts to do this, unless one wants to help enable rioters.

I’m super duper troubled by this, the levity in the thread above scares me. Obama ordered this - no one else, no else has the power to do it. Trump didn’t do it, Mattis didn’t do it, it has nothing to do with the Ambassadors, the Government doesn’t close every inauguration day, all the political appointees don’t automatically go back in the genie bottle.

DC hasn’t been an important command post since 1865 - and they’re expecting hellfire this January 20th. This stinks out loud. OUT LOUD.

I read every other story on this Business Insider etc., it’s still scary. Someone will try to kill him with no command.

Hmmm...One can only hope that this strange event is the precursor to bringing back the guardsmen heroes from the Kent State riot to handle any disruptions...

This is scary. Scary that DJT has good reason not to fully trust this guy. Haven’t seen who is taking over.

You are probably correct with both points!

1. One of Obama’s political tools.

2, Buh-Bye.

He won’t be killed. I assure you of that. There will be violence. I envision tear gas and many injuries.The communists have already vowed to disrupt the entry gates . Many older folks are already intimidated by these communist thugs. Their efforts will fail . The key here is for the Trump supporters to take zero of their bullshit and to protect each other with equal or more force than the communists. I see many fine Trump males under forty quite capable of stomping the dog crap out of these faggots. AND THEY ARE GOING TO!!

Could be. But the fact remains, from the NGs to Marines, they’ve done everything they can to subvert and turn our military into a twisted PC social experiment.

Totally concur and have no reason to doubt the Trump team has a trained and ready replacement, familiar with Inauguration Day.

PS: Putin and Netanyahu may even have a clandestine team out there “amongst ‘em” protecting TRUMP. LOL!

Completely strange, especially since this guy is not an Obama loyalist. He was appointed by Bush because he is loyal to the United States, not to Zero.

Changing command during the middle of an important deployment is a strange thing to do — why not replace him effective the next day?

Maybe he did something to p*ss Trump off while “negotiating with the inauguration committee” on a “number of issues?”

Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz' educational background:

His education includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of the District of Columbia, a Master of Arts degree in Business Management from Central Michigan University and a Master of Science Degree in National Security Strategy from the National Defense University. In addition, General Schwartz has completed the Department of Defense Senior Executive Leadership Course, the National War College, the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and the CAPSTONE course for Flag and General Officers.

This certainly sound more real world oriented as opposed to Liberal credentials.

The Kennedy school of government ain't a plus, but there is no alternative. Overall he looks good.

That was my take. It's seems quite abrupt and sudden.

Thats my point - you don’t change commanders at the height of battle unless they get shot, and that person already knows the plan, everyone else already knows who number two is. And the people above aren’t fully appreciating what’s likely to happen next Friday. It will be the worst day of venom the lefties have ever summoned. THE WORST. Forget Seattle. Forget Occupy. Forget Baltimore.
