The game is afoot.

[Grampa Dave]

There will be a lot of DC paycheck grabbers out of a job shortly after Trump becomes our POTUS!

[dp0622]

So long.

Was this guy playing an integral role in protecting Trump during the inauguration? If not, ### him.

[Red Badger]

Hmmmmmmm..................

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

what is the reasoning behind this?

I’m a little bit slow sometimes, I don’t get it. Who ended his post? Obama? Trump can’t end his post yet can he?

Is this to create turmoil?

Sorry... I’m just not getting the motivation for this, I don’t really understand the politics (on either side) for a move like this.

[litehaus]

Well, ya didn’t get to the IMPORTANT part.....Will he get a autobumpup in rank so as to increase his gubmint pension ???

[Lady Heron]

Then something major is up with this guy and that is a scary thought foe inauguration day.

[Big Red Badger]

Very Interesting.

I don’t know Schwartz from a hole in the ground, but draining the swamp begins Jan. 20 at 12:01 p.m.

I’m betting U-Haul trucks and trailers will be booked up and unavailable in the Beltway area.

All the rats are leaving town.

[P-Marlowe]

Who ordered this? Isn’t D.C. under the control of Congress? Did Obama order this? Trump can’t issue orders until his left hand leaves the Bible.

Very strange.

[ratzoe]

Very strange, indeed. Have yet to see comments that could possibly explain the timing of this.

[Proyecto Anonimo]

Trumps Cabinet Generals are probably able to smell a rat.

[Navy Patriot]

Highly unusual.

Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz may be a good guy who will properly respond to insurrection and shut down a criminal anti Trump DC riot by paid Prog agitators.

His replacement may let it grow to a disaster.

[Norseman]

Forget the conspiracy theories. The simplest explanation for this is payback. Someone above Gen. Schwartz in the incoming chain of command probably has a huge beef with him and is making it clear that he’s not needed as of the very hour, no, the very second, that person takes over.

[Just mythoughts]

If the Compost got the memo why do they not produce a copy so we can see who originated said memo?

[Sequoyah101]

Presidential appointee. Standard fare for him to leave when the president that appointed him leaves unless he is asked to stay. His time to leave has come. The new president has someone else in mind.

No mystery. Washington compost is trying to make something out of something that isn’t.

[Steve_Seattle]

From the article:

"Unlike in states, where the governor appoints the National Guard commander, in the District that duty falls to the president. Schwartz said that he has not been told why he was asked to step down. “I’m a soldier,” he said, noting that he was following orders and has no regrets. “I’m a presidential appointee, therefore the president has the power to remove me.”

He was removed by Obama, and doesn't know why. This sounds like something out of the film "JFK." We are facing what will unarguably be the most contentious inauguration of the last hundred years, and one of the main security officials is being removed right in the middle of it.

[DesertRhino]

There is major civil unrest in DC being planned for inauguration day. The DC National Guard is the only one that falls directly under the President. For some reason on that day, Trump does not trust this guy to do his job for some reason.

No idea what that could be.

[houeto]

LS, any insight on this move?
