This must have been ordered by the Trump transition team, since it will take effect the minute he is declared President. My guess is that they want to make sure the multiple threats to the Inaugural parade that have been published all over the Internet will be taken care of in Trump’s favor. The transition team must have had meetings and they possibly determined they could not trust the former leadership.
yeah, I reckon.
it just amazes me (and in a good way) that the Trump team is on to every last detail of everything.
I’m so used to slogging through bureaucratic do nothings that can’t walk and chew gum, then comes along Trump and there is attention to every detail.
I hope you are right, and I presume you are.
Thanks Albion.
OK in that case, it’s not 0’s shenanigans.
President-Elect Trump plays chess...

Doesn’t make any sense. First, it is highly unlikely Trump would initiate a memo relieving the General PRIOR to taking office. Second, I doubt Mattis would do anything since he hasn’t been confirmed by the Senate and won’t be until after Trump assumes the Presidency.
Further, why would you relieve the NG Commander DURING the Inauguration? Schwartz is in charge of all troops in DC that day. I could see relieving him the day after or day prior, but not in the middle of the Inauguration, I would think this would create problems with the chain of command.
With all the groups posturing to demonstrate against Trump and vowing to disrupt the ceremony, this makes no sense at all. I sense bad things could be in the wind.
