Milley reveals he spoke to Woodward, other authors for books on Trump presidency
The Hill ^ | 09/28/2021 | ELLEN MITCHELL

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley on Tuesday told lawmakers he spoke with several authors for their recent books on the Trump administration, including veteran journalist Bob Woodward for his book “Peril,” which has triggered enormous scrutiny of the four-star general in recent weeks.

In addition to speaking to Woodward for "Peril," which was co-authored by fellow Washington Post journalist Robert Costa, Milley said he also spoke to Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig for their book “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year” and to Michael Bender for “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost.”

When asked by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) whether he was “accurately represented” in the books, Milley responded, “I haven’t read any of the books, I don’t know.”

The guy admits he’s a leaker, a saboteur, a fake conservative. Basically, that’s called being an @$$#0le.

**************

Scrutiny means nothing without accountability but in DC no one is responsible for anything.

Sounds like he barely had time to call PLA General in China. Certainly not enough time to brief President Trump. Certainly not enough time to DO his JOB.

How can one idiot cause so much trouble.

Loose cannon should be jailed until his trial.

Rank has its privileges it appears.

No, they call Milley a hero for saving us from “that madman Trump”.

Sadly Milley is pretty typical of Flag Rank officers in the US military now. A lifelong backstabbing staff perfumed pogue. Or REMF for short.

Obviously what he did was totally inappropriate for someone in his position.

Did they ask Milley why he was fine with droning 10 innocent people, including 7 children when he KNEW they were not terrorists..

Woodward has all the insight and circumspect wisdom... of Joe Biden. Which means he is permanently out to lunch. Woodward wrote an anti Trump book, but it resulted in the exposure of the greatest internal threat to our country imaginable. Leftist treason and surrender to genocidal international totalitarianism. Woodward would deny it, but who asked him anyway?

Did he ever claim to be a conservative?

He was just fine with working for Obama as the top general. And Obama never made a political appointment that wasn’t in line with his radical views.

In this morning’s session...everyone one of them (including Milley) stated that they would not comment on the actual advice they gave the President...those conversations were “confidential”.

Yet Milley ... serving as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...apparently has time to speak with every author under the sun that wants to write a book about Trump.

Fascinating....
