BREAKING General Milley committed TREASON!

His contact with the Chicoms began BEFORE the election. He knew the fix was in.

Complete scumbag

"Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

China is not an "enemy" within the meaning of this clause because China is not a declared enemy in war.

Jim

Did you miss the "or" in there? Or just ignore it?

I thought the fact that the man didn't levy war against the United States was too obvious to mention.

Jim

Nice knowing you, thread.

Jim

I think you're just a troll. I figured it out. Have a good day.

I don't think there's any maybe about it. Lol.

Acknowledged, but I am not a Democrat, so you don't need to be worried.

Jim

"Or in adhering to their Enemies, and giving them Aid and Comfort" isn't just about war. That's why there is an "or" and not an "and". We have many enemies in this world we are not at war with, at the moment.

Trump 2024

Sorry…had to.

As I recall--and I'm sure Dirt will correct me if I'm wrong--the Supreme Court has held that "enemy" means a declared enemy in wartime.

Jim

Who? Who on earth could/would stand for the vicious personal/business/family onslaught that befalls anyone who doesn’t adhere to the lib party program? Throw any name in there and there will be a unit put together immediately to slash/ slander/gut that persons reputation, intentions, and well being. It takes a monster to defeat monsters.

They don’t have to name anyone. There will be no more republican presidents.

And morons like James and Gus who seem incapable of independent thought will swallow every word the mainstream media shoves down their throats and regurgitate those lies every chance they get.

Treason probably won't fly, but I wonder if he could be prosecuted under the Espionage Act, if it's still in force.

Jim

I zipped through a few Supreme Court cases on treason. It's not enough to state an intention for there to be "aid and comfort." There has to be an overt act.

In other words, if Milley had actually warned China of an impending US attack, he might be prosecuted for treason.

Decision to prosecute would have to be by the Attorney General. An AG's decision to prosecute is often made on a political basis.

I'd rate the chance of the Biden administration prosecuting this general for treason as mighty slim.

Jim

He has likely made himself so toxic no defense contractor will touch him. One less prostitute in the world.

I don't like Biden or Trump. Got nowhere to turn. Dislike them equally.

James is smarter than about 95% on here.LOL.

Well look who crawled out from under his rock: Lunkhead.

Jim

And yet he don't want to be called a democrat.....

No sir you aren’t I have friends that are Democrats. You are the borderline communist! Republican or Democrat you don’t do what he did. Good grief

Get some therapy.

James I’m not being hateful but stop typing and think about what you’re saying and think about what the man did. It my not fit the definition of treason and maybe no even sedition but it’s not right by any American standard

the swamp is deep and 99% of people in power within the USA are in it. The only hope we have is a complete new start....which is a very long shot.

When the top military are conspiring against the POTUS and with china you have to realize how screwed we are or your a special kind of stupid.

Yep.

He sure thinks he is.

Not sure I'd call any Biden voter "smart."

Milley is also the one who bombed the aid worker and kids (once they own up to that's who got bombed).

This General is Jimmys new hero.Then Boco says Jimmy is smarter than 95% of everyone in here.Says a lot about both of them.

I would call it a military coup by him. He decided he knows better than the President.
If this story turns out to be true.

I guess I am a moron

Trump knew the country was being stolen by the dems so anything he did was justified.

If miley conspired with the chinese then it is not beyond imagination that the us military could stand down while foreign troops come in and operate here for the liberals..it is really bad and you folks should think about this and the possibilities.

Outrageous criminal insubordination by General Milley against the Commander in Chief, and the American people, is punishable by a brief court martial and summary execution at dawn. No excuse for his actions. No explanation. No acceptance.

Milley was my little brother's Battalion CO in Iraq on his last tour in '07 , I believe. He said he shouldn't be leading a line to the water fountain.

If he did command a line to the water fountain George Bush would be right behind him, then Obama and his puppet Lunch Box Joe. What a line up of Globalists!

Its getting deeper now.....Pelosi wanted him to relieve Trump of the Nuclear Football. He declined but this implicates Pelosi of trying a coup also.

I never said it isn't wrong. I said I don't think it amounts to treason under the US Constitution. I also pointed out that he might be prosecuted under the Espionage Act, if it's not a political decision.

How do you want me to type?

Jim

https://nypost.com/2021/01/08/pelosi-calls-gen-milley-to-block-trump-from-using-nuclear-codes/

And the left keeps saying there is no deep state. Riiiiiiiiight.

There will never be another Democrat questioned or punished for anything they do.

that sums it up nicely.

Below is a link to an article about Trump appointing Milley. Just another case of the very poor outcomes that came about by the appointments that Trump made. He obviously is not a very good judge of character or capability or do these appointed persons see the error of his ways and work to maintain some normality and sanity to the executive branch?

For five decades Americans became lazy and allowed the corrupt federal government in the District of Criminals to accrete more and more power. A quick read of the US Constitution reveals that America is first and foremost a federation of independent states. If they want to, the states can (and should) rebuff a great deal of the federal overreach we are seeing. It can easily go to the point of federal agents not being allowed to operate in states or they will be arrested, detained, charged. It just takes governors with guts to implement. It can go so far as individual county sheriffs deputizing a couple thousand local citizens to confront illegal aliens or an invading force, or to take rogue federal agents into custody. Freedom and independence can confront the authoritarianism flowing out of DC right now. Just takes old fashioned American guts.

The feds give states alot of $.......$ is king today so do not expect any state to be arresting federal agents anytime soon...

Marty, I know what you are saying here. I also think our political situation is at the breaking point.

I hate to say this, but James is right. Talking about or threatening to commit a crime is not the same as actually committing the offense. However, conspiracy or insubordination could be in order. Let's not forget that Milley is subject to the Uniformed Code of Military Justice which is much more stringent than civilian law.

Milley is subject first to the UCMJ. His illegal insubordination and treason were committed in uniform while on active duty. He exceeded his authority by a long shot to the point of rebellion against the people. Supreme Court, AG have zero to do with this. It’s strictly a court martial. Junior officers can convene it.

General officers are not immune from courts martial. There have been examples in the past, though its got to be pretty political for that bridge to be crossed. I think this fully qualifies though I wonder if there is enough JAG officers with the cajones to do it.

Can we all agree that we would like to see milley severely punished.

Keith

It may be past the point of no return...

Agree, but I doubt it will ever happen. Right now the liberal media is calling him a hero for doing it.

Just got another vacation over at FB for suggesting maybe Milley should hang. Uptight folks over there.

And no media bias and no election fraud.

They know if they say it often enough "smart" libtards will believe every word.

He needs put on trial and if guilty, he needs to spend his life in prison or be hung. However, he is on the DemoRats side so, as usual, nothing will happen and he will get away with it.

The part about submit to the authorities is really a VERY hard pill to swallow....

Wait so the USA was going to attack China? If not what did he do that is punishable? He called his counter part and said hey we are not going to attack you.

If its true that there was no attack, then where is the crime, where even is the moral/ethical failing?

That he felt the need to do it at all is another matter.

Seems like unsubstantiated rumor so far but if Milley told his Asian counterpart in advance of a potential American strike, that's treason. He should be in Leavenworth for even suggesting it.

I like Trump. I don't think I'm a complete moron.
I supported many of the policies he enacted despite all the obstacles thrown in front of him. His remain in Mexico policy in addition with building the wall was a well respected move and applauded by boots on the ground border agents. Biden threw that out promptly..bad move. No border-no nation.
The many lies the Dem and puppet media promoted over the years did this country no good service. It's only months after their lying that they are forced to retract many of those lies.
Just a few of the many: Russian collusion,the muslim ban,lafayette park incidence,tax cuts only for the rich,the recent lab leak theory.

Every President appoints cabinet members they later fire or regret having done so, Trump was no different. His biggest mistake was not realizing just how deep the swamp is.
I abhor Washington... DC ,it's stench and rot of corruption is obvious,an island of snakes and lizards.

The media buzz now is if Milley said what is reported. Funny the back and forth with the media pundits and yet I have not witnessed any of those reporters questioning the authors of the book.
Seems we ought a go directly to the accusing party...and get the facts, if that's possible with Woodward,..a product spawn of the above swamp.

You may not know that Milley instructed the National Command Authority to ignore any orders from Trump pertaining to nuclear weapons without involving him...Milley.
' Milley is subordinate to the CIC and in this instance he is jumping the chain of command and usurping authority of the president.

While that doesn't rise to the level of treason it is certainly a serious breach of the UCMJ and ........IMO..............smacks loudly of a coup................especially considering that Pelosi had earlier pushed Milley to eliminate Trump's access to the nuclear codes while he was still the sitting president.

Then lets also consider his decision to unilaterally abandon Bagram AFB in the middle of the night.... What does that say about Milley's decision making capabilities ?

At the least he needs to be gone and stripped of all rank, privileges, benefits and awards...just for starters.............IMO

Maybe an Article 15. Two weeks extra duty buffing floors and painting the barracks,plus cleaning the latrines. Busted to Colonel.

LOL !

Wow! You are festering with Trump-Derangement Syndrome....even to the extent that you are OK with what Milley reportedly said/done, without any evidence that Trump did anything other than promote pride in America and try to put America first. Yeah...I know, I know....liberals/anti-Trumpers don't t need no stinkin' evidence....your hatred is enough evidence.

The fact that Milley, in his position, even discussed such as this with any foreign nation is flat wrong and he should be held accountable.

And Pelosi and her cronies are pushing the Jan 6th incident as a major threat to our nation. We are in serious trouble in this Country due to attitudes such as this and CaptGus's. God help us.

Devil's Advocate

Considering Dementia Joe's current state what if all this came out today but instead of Trump he was concerned about the current occupant of the White House?

As much as I despise the Sniffer in Chief and believe there is/was ample reason to believe he is fraudulently holding office it would still be insubordination of the highest level pushing into treasonous action.

Joe never got the nuclear football in the first place. They bought him a football at Walmart and painted some nice buttons on it.

A political machine is in charge.

Why would miley be thinking Trump would attack china right before leaving office?

Maybe Trump knew they released covid as a means to steal the election and an act of war.

You are having a very mild day there buddy. Unless that after the starters comes the firing squad

Screw(driver) you twinkle toes

Insubordination at the very least and charge him under the UCMJ article 94.

Mark Milley did his best to make certain the elected president had no power. In early January, Woodward and Costa report, Milley called another meeting of senior officials at the National Military Command Center. He informed the group that they reported to him, not to the elected president of the United States. It was not a small claim. The National Military Command Center controls, among other things, the nuclear weapons inside the country's missile silos and onboard its nuclear submarines. Mark Milley was seizing personal control of America’s nuclear arsenal. He went around the room and demanded his officers submit to his authority, not the president. Milley told them to follow no order without consulting him first. According to Woodward and Costa, all of them agreed to this. Civilian control of the military was over. Mark Milley was in charge.

The President can investigate the claims and find if there is probable cause to believe that General A is engaged in this conduct, and if so, can order the General's arrest. The General could be tried in a Court Martial for conduct in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, but, treason is not a crime covered by the UCMJ. The applicable offense for a coup participant under the UCMJ would be Article 94:

ART. 94. MUTINY OR SEDITION
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who--

(1) with intent to usurp or override lawful military authority, refuses, in concert with any other person, to obey orders or otherwise do his duty or creates any violence or disturbance is guilty of mutiny;

(2) with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of lawful civil authority, creates, in concert with any other person, revolt, violence, or disturbance against that authority is guilty of sedition;

(3) fails to do his utmost to prevent and suppress a mutiny or sedition being committed in his presence, or fails to take all reasonable means to inform his superior commissioned officer or commanding officer of a mutiny or sedition which he knows or has reason to believe is taking place, is guilty of a failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition.

(b) A person who is found guilty of attempted mutiny, mutiny, sedition, or failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court- martial may direct.

I'm on my fourth 30 day FB jail sentence. That after the 7 day and 3 day...lol The last two were on hunting and trapping pages, for using the word "killing" while talking about a wild animal.

Did you join the 330 club, using your head to test triggers?

I will provide the blindfold gladly !!

I have some 45/70 300 grn loaded up I would donate.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and point out something I haven't heard mentioned.

Milley is not only subordinate to the president but also subordinate to the secretary of defense......another civilian. I'll go a step further and theorize that all military members of the national command authority, that were present, are equally guilty of conspiring with Milley to overthrow civilian command of the military.

Remember when Reagan was shot ? I can still hear the Democrats screaming about general Alexander Haig saying HE was in charge......implying that the vice president was not..................and they were right for once.

Double standards again.

Pelosi needs hung right beside him, she was in on it.

(and if nothing becomes of it, the reason why)

The shame of it all is nothing will happen.

I wish something would happen but that means the Republicans would have to do something besides talk and I don't see that happening. They want things to get worse so they can win elections and then be in charge of the swamp.
