We’re not getting anything. I have written to commanders in the field, 3-, 4-star admirals and generals, and the response I got out of the Department of Defense is that “we will not be able to answer your simple yes and no questions,” that I’m sure they already know the answers to. “We will not be able to answer them on your timeline (which was now a couple of weeks ago when I wrote the letter), and we do not know when we’ll be able to respond.” And the other requests that we’ve asked for briefings, “we will not be able to comply with.”

This is the first time I’ve seen where the military has been basically silenced, when they could not answer a direct yes and no question from the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

We’re not able to do our job if we can’t get information, and the commander in chief or somebody that he’s over has told them that they cannot respond to us. I think the whole thing smacks of a cover-up, and the President could clear this all up if he would just go before the American people.

The one who knows it all, that could clear it all up, is out campaigning and is totally silent on the issue after telling us he wants us to have all the information as soon as he receives it.

But the military “would have somebody taking down notes of everything that was said,”

Hasn’t anyone ever heard of recordings. Everything the POTUS says is recorded so there is no misunderstanding of what he said. Remember Nixon. Where are the tapes?

Now the country is beginning to see what iot means to have elected a fascist as president.

The constitution of the United States is not properly followed or defended.

God help us all if the fascist is re-elected, for it will mean a civil war.

In an interview on “Istook Live!” Friday (Listen to the interview here), McKeon said he’s heard that the White House might be setting up the military as scapegoats: “One of the things I’ve heard is that maybe they’re trying to put some blame on the military that they disobeyed orders or they didn’t respond to orders.”

But the military “would have somebody taking down notes of everything that was said,” according to McKeon. Normally such orders from the President would be put into writing, he said. But just in case there was a delay in written orders, the commanders would have those notes.

Nothing that I have read to date is not fully explained within the context of cross-border authority NOT being granted by President Obama. I've been tweeting it out like mad, and did at least get a response from Judge Jeanine Pirro thanking me, and telling me she was printing out the below article that I penned.

Maybe Jeanine will take it up.
