A new book by two Washington Post reporters cites Joint Chief of Staff Chairman General Milley’s alleged concerns that Donald Trump would attempt a coup. He thinks Trump is Hitler and his followers are Nazis. They were facing a “Reichstag” moment after the January 6 riot/rally, he said.
Milley allegedly assured Speaker Pelosi and his allied generals that “they’re not going to f***ing succeed.”
“They may try, but they’re not going to f**king succeed,” Milley reportedly said. “You can’t do this without the military. You can’t do this without the CIA and the FBI. We’re the guys with the guns.”
Given this new information, it seemed a good time to reprint some of the NY Times version of the incident. In the book, the authors don’t bother to mention Pelosi asking if the military could remove then-President Trump – launch a military coup, in other words.
THE JANUARY 8 REPORT
The NY Times reported some very crucial information ignored by the media.
Speaker Pelosi spoke with General Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about making certain President Trump couldn’t launch a nuke. She also suggested they remove the President with a military coup.
In a letter to House Democrats on Friday, Ms. Pelosi invoked the resignation of Richard M. Nixon amid the Watergate scandal, when Republicans prevailed upon the president to resign and avoid the ignominy of an impeachment, calling Mr. Trump’s actions a “horrific assault on our democracy.”
Ms. Pelosi also said she had spoken with Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about “preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes.”
A spokesman for General Milley, Col. Dave Butler, confirmed that the two had spoken and said the general had “answered her questions regarding the process of nuclear command authority.”
But some Defense Department officials have privately expressed anger that political leaders seemed to be trying to get the Pentagon to do the work of Congress and Cabinet secretaries, who have legal options to remove a president.
Mr. Trump, they noted, is still the commander in chief, and unless he is removed, the military is bound to follow his lawful orders. While military officials can refuse to carry out orders they view as illegal, they cannot proactively remove the president from the chain of command. That would be a military coup, these officials said. [Emphasis mine]
Speaker Pelosi wanted to launch a military coup. This report doesn’t seem to indicate Milley cursed or accused Trump and his supporters of acting like Brownshirts.

Strange how hecalled Trump what BidAn is – Hitler and the Nazi’s he calls TRUMP Supporters are the very people they supplying weapons to, in Ukraine. Why are we funding Nazi’s in Ukraine ? They funded Hitler in WW2 and now they funding Nazi’s in Ukraine. So as Milley is a military man he should know what we funding & arming. Hes as corrupt as Joe
Notice that the leftists are now trying to accuse the president of exactly what they attempted throughout his presidency.
Got sedition?
Rules for thee but not for me, I’m from the lounge of faculty and we are enlightened in our quest to burn it all down and replace it with Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe ? Why Zimbabwe ? That was the first country they used to practise on for what we facing now. Soros, Hillary, China assisted by UN and now look at the backwards state of that country. They don’t even have electricity any longer. No we don’t want to be Zimbabwe
In the days of the Reichstag event, in Germany, the streets were dominated by leftwing vilence. The leftwing army was more violent and much larger than the brown shirts. Look it up. The brown shirts had some guns, but could not have actually thought they were going to take over when they marched. They were far outgunned and outnumbered. Germans troops fired and killed many.
In today’s USA, the streets are dominated by leftwing violence. The January 6th protesters had no guns.
The Speaker is an evil woman. She is not an American.. She is a traitor to the Republic. Her time is coming when Pres. Trump regains his rightful office. And then there is the matter of the great judgement..
Nancy is very evil & she is gone now. Thank goodness
