It is not entirely clear why President Trump chose General Mark Milley over General David Goldfein for the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Both Milley and Goldfein were highly respected military leaders with long and distinguished careers, and either one would have been a capable choice for the position.

However, it’s worth noting that General Milley had more experience operating in the type of high-intensity combat environments that the United States was facing at the time. Milley had served multiple tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, and had also held a number of high-profile leadership positions in the Army, including serving as the Commanding General of the 10th Mountain Division and the Commander of U.S. Army Forces Command.

Additionally, it’s possible that President Trump may have been impressed by General Milley’s reputation for being a tough, no-nonsense leader. Milley was known for his strict adherence to discipline and his willingness to make tough decisions, and these qualities may have appealed to Trump as he sought to strengthen the military and project a strong image of American power on the global stage.

Today we know Milley is a turd.

According to news reports, the Taliban are posting troops and equipment on the border with Iran. Maybe this is part of Milley’s plan.

What if the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco was part of the plan? Leave billions of dollars worth of arms and equipment for the Taliban to use against Iran. The Biden regime will provide cover for them at the UN.

So what do you think the endgame of this will be, Trump getting indicted over this recording?

Ithink Trump knows a lot about others in his familiar spheres of influence. As a govt outsider, his weakness is that he did not really know these types of folks who ran in much different circles than he did, and he relied on top people around him for their advice, which many times, many of them being deep staters, was not good.

I think they’ll either indict him, or try to blackmail him behind the scenes to get him to do some things they want, whatever that may be. Same thing is probably going on with Biden. It’s what the FBI is known for over the years.

He was planning to send the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion. How many remember who first brought them to our attention?

... but if Trump said that it indicates that he well knew there was a process for declassifying documents that he didn't go through ...

This narrative has been debunked here on FR repeatedly over this. He doesn't have to go through any such process.

Disclosing classified information is illegal under Federal law, but there is no Federal law that determines what is and is not classified. Classification status of Executive Branch materials is established entirely within the Executive Branch of the U.S. government. This idea that the President of the U.S. is subject to the authority of Executive Branch departments that answer to him is ludicrous on its face, and has no basis in constitutional law.

What I've posted here is the reason why former Presidents have routinely been so careless and ambivalent about what they do with allegedly "classified" material after they leave office. They don't have to abide by classification protocols, since they (by definition) are the ones who determine the appropriate level of protection for these materials. The executive orders that establish protocols and requirements for handling classified materials are directives that are handed down from the President to his subordinates within the Executive Branch.

If I see nothing else of note on this website for the rest of my life, I would at least like to see Freepers get out of this habit of buying into the stupid Democrat/media narrative that executive branch departments (DOJ, for example) and agencies (FBI, CIA, etc.) somehow constitute additional branches of government that have authority over the three branches of the Federal government that were established in the U.S. Constitution. They are not.

“It was Trump who picked Gen. Milley”

I somehow doubt that Milley had told Trump that he planned on starting World War 3, when he first met with Trump.

“And anyone who posted similar thoughts here as yours in say 2003 would have been Zotted so quickly it would have seemed like a warp speed whooping. How times change.”

Back then we didn’t know what the REAL GOALS of the Neocons are. Now they’re OBVIOUS.

I’m sure the military has lots of plans for things based on scenarios.

but there is no Federal law that determines what is and is not classified

This is silly talk and pure semantics old friend. Of course laws do not determine what is classified, classification guidelines do, as the information is constantly changing faster than laws could be passed. The laws establish how documents that have been determined to be classified must be handled, the penalties for mishandling them.

And there are laws regarding the removal of classified documents from federal facilities, President or not. Sure, the President has the ability declassify information, but his claim he can merely "think it" without going through the the declassification process, just because he is the chief of the executive branch is not only a very novel and questionable theory, it is very unlikely to be upheld in the court of law. A simply analogy is the President has the right to call Air Force One to an airport, but there are many rules and regulations around flying Air Force One that he can't just overule simply because he is President.

I have only heard one short report on the radio regarding the supposed interview, but if Trump did say that he was still retaining classified materials at his home, after leaving office, that he didn't feel he could legally show to anyone else, it clearly blows major holes in his current excuse he had already declassified it. Because if he had declassified it, he wouldn't have said it was still classified, and he wouldn't have been using the excuse of it still being classified as the reason it couldn't be shared.

Bottom line it would mean he knew documents at his home were still classified, after he left office. In this case he did protect them in some respect, but ultimately his protection and movement of them was not to the letter of the law. How much remains to be seen.

So if Pelosi, Sanders, Durbin were right then in their opposition can we really say they are wrong now?

We have plans for invading every country on Earth, including our allies. Doesn’t mean we intend to, doesn’t mean we will. Goes along with the saying, “Be polite, be professional, but have a plan for killing everyone you meet.”
