Pentagon officials discussing how to respond if Trump issues controversial orders

[westwall]

Neither did Eisenhower.

True, and that led to problems with his combat generals. Not just Patton.

 

[westwall]

Been true since 1878, the posse comitatus act.

The joey bribem admin did away with posse comitatus a month and a half ago.

 

[westwall]

Because military personnel can't be used for domestic law enforcement.

Fuck me running, you're an idiot.

MacArthur should have been shot for incompetence in 1942.

Agreed on MacArthur.

 

[White 6]

As I said its a very twisted path of illogic that obama flunkeys in the Pentagon must take to obstruct and disobey their next commander in chief

But if they are allowed to stay in the service they will certainly try

So trump should send them packing

Interesting. Is that so somebody will take any order, legal or not? Or you simply don't like some of the people there? Is there something makes you think he would, or would need to give and illegal order? If it was an illegal order, would you want it carried out?

Thats what obama got when he sacked officers that did not support his agenda

After all no commanding general would tolerate junior officers who would not follow his orders

What is it B.O. got? Amazing what is tolerated if there are witnesses at the time of the order.

 

[Vrenn]

He used the national guard, that’s perfectly legal

In the end. The 82nd didn't participate because that was an illegal order that tRump issued. They went along as far as they could adhering to his orders to send 1600 82nd to Washington. But they refused his order to contribute to the police action due to the posse comitatus.

If this story of a cabal of Pentagon officials meeting to undermine the incoming constitutional commander-in-chief of the U.S. military had been a rumor circulating on X or I’d received in an email from some random source, I would have discounted it. But that’s not the case; it comes from CNN. This suggests that something is deeply wrong in the Pentagon—the same Pentagon that “forgot” to send absentee ballots to U.S. troops serving overseas, a gross violation of their civil rights, and one that ought to result in courts-martial all the way up to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
According to CNN, Pentagon officials are trying to figure out how to block any orders Donald Trump might issue to protect the Southern border or remove from U.S. soil the millions of unvetted illegal aliens currently occupying the U.S.:
~Snip~
First, it’s clearly within the federal government’s purview to protect the American border from foreign invasions, whether terrorists, cartels, or the economic refugees amongst whom they hide. That means the president has the authority to order troops to the border. If people in the Pentagon conspire to refuse that order, in the best case, it’s a seditious conspiracy to undermine the president’s constitutional authority. In the worst case, it’s treason. And in any case, if they’re military, that would begin with a court martial.
Second, the president clearly has the constitutional authority to protect Americans on American soil from invaders who have already breached the border. The punishment for obstructive Pentagon officials would range from courts-martial to trials for seditious conspiracy or treason.
Third, the president has the authority under the Enforcement Acts to send troops to hot spots on American soil if there is unrest that is depriving citizens of their civil rights. In addition, even the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the federal government’s power to use the military on American soil to enforce domestic policies, has several compelling exceptions.

• 1957: Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the Army’s 101st Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock’s schools.
• 1962: JFK federalized Alabama’s National Guard to force Gov. George Wallace to admit two African-American students to the University of Alabama.
• 1965: LBJ used Alabama’s federalized National Guard to quell the Bloody Sunday protests in Montgomery, Alabama.
• 1967: LBJ called in the Army and National Guard to quell the Detroit riots.
• 1968: After MLK, Jr. was assassinated, Chicago’s Mayor Richard Daley approved calling in the Army when riots broke out. In D.C., 13,600 troops occupied the city to quell riots. National Guard troops were also deployed across Baltimore.

For a president to quell civil unrest is normal. And for a president to use the military as needed to oust invaders from American soil is common sense. If anyone in the Pentagon blocks the president from doing so...back to those courts-martial, and sedition and treason trials.
The bottom line is that what is allegedly happening within the Pentagon—something that was obviously an authorized leak to a friendly outlet; i.e., CNN—represents the complete breakdown of our non-partisan constitutional military, one that the Founders established to be controlled not by a cabal of officers but by a president whom the American people elect.

Cimmentary:

~~~~~~
This is not about retribution. It's about the Common Law, U.S. law and Military Law.
What Milley did violated the precepts of the Codes of USMJ,
Just as Obama violated U.S. Law and USMJ Laws when he let Bergdahl off the hook and forced the military Tribunal to do the same.

Each of those instances were approved by Congress. A President CANNOT use Federal Military inside the US Borders without the permission of the Congress.

Trump never ordered them

It is not the Pentagon's job to decide what's controversial.

It is the Pentagon's job to OBEY the Commander in Chief.

 

[munkle]

You mean illegal orders like ordering soldiers to submit to experimental drugs mis-named "vaccines?"

LOL total retards forget that he was already president once for four years. These stories are for autists and mental defectives, huge part of the Democratic party.

Have any EVIDENCE to back this up?

 

[buckeye45_73]

Don't underestimate the depth of hatred for Donald Trump at the highest levels of our government. Remember traitor General Milley pledging his support to Xi Jinping.Trump needs to bring the BIG BROOM.

Yep, Jack Smith dropped his stuff, they know it's comming. The FBI knows a bloodbath is about to happen. 7th Floor knows they are all gone and they are getting lawyers. Going Cobra Kai on them. NO MERCY

FBI brass ‘stunned’ and ‘shell-shocked’ over Trump reelection

The brass on the seventh floor at FBI headquarters in Washington are walking around in a daze and wary of a housecleaning since President-elect Donald Trump won his reelection on Tuesday, according to inside sources.

Look up Department of Defence Directive 5240.01

 

[Jarlaxle]

Look up Department of Defence Directive 5240.01

So...in other words, posse comitatus was NOT "done away with" and is still the law.

You keep just making it up as you go covering for your Orange Cheeto. But sit back. You are going to have quite a bit of things to cover.

 

[krichton]

Randomly arrest his former chairman of joint chiefs out of revenge? Ladies and gentlemen, the nazis have arrived.
