Government watchdog Judicial Watch wants to know more about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's behavior and actions on January 8, 2021, when she called General Mark Milley in an attempt to take away then President Trump's military authority. The group has issued a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Defense for details of the call.
The lawsuit demands "any and all records regarding, concerning, or related to the telephone call between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and General Mark Milley on or about January 8, 2021," and "any and all transcripts, recordings, and/or summaries of the call, as well as any other records produced in preparation for, during, and/or pursuant to the call." Judicial Watch is also looking for "any and all additional records of communication between Gen. Milley and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi between November 1, 2020, and the present."
At the time, the Wall Street Journal called the speaker's behavior "A Coup of Pelosi's Own."
We scoured the U.S. Constitution Friday afternoon and it’s definitely not there: the provision allowing the Speaker of the House of Representatives to intervene in the military chain of command to protect the world from President Trump.
Mrs. Pelosi told her Democratic colleagues that she spoke Friday morning to Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.” She posted the “Dear colleague” letter on her website to make sure the world got the message. A spokesman for Gen. Milley told reporters the chairman “answered her questions.”
Mrs. Pelosi’s call to Gen. Milley is itself a violation of the separation of powers by seeking to inject herself into an executive-branch military decision. She can offer advice all she wants, but this call at this time has the sound of an order. It might even be construed by some as its own little coup—conniving with the military to relieve of command the person who remains the elected President.
"If Speaker Pelosi's description of her conversation with General Milley is true, it sets a dangerous precedent that could undermine the president’s role as commander in chief and the separation of powers," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said about the lawsuit. "Our new lawsuit aims to uncover the truth about the call."
There was no “siege” on the 6th — it was staged.
Milley is slime.
Expose this.
Uh, its not an attempt if it succeeds.
Bread and circuses.
I’m so glad Fitton is on our side.
Too bad Sessions and Barr weren’t on our side.
What happened on 1/6 should be characterized more as a protest and redress of grievances than the absurd descriptions by the Demapress and their minions in congress.
“Too bad Sessions and Barr weren’t on our side.”
“Trust Sessions. Trust Barr.” Said the Qballs.

That story line would make for a great movie! Going to be fun to read about this.
PUBLIC HANGING !!! wait is this why there’s a Fort Nancy ?
Y'gonn'a expose her ?
Pelosi = Traitor.
History does not look kindly on traitors.
Trespassing into the US capitol and playfully sitting at the speakers desk is not a serious “insurrection”.
It is unwise and foolish. But not that serious in the bigger scheme of things.
Why the hell was Milley not fired for his statement after the church burning that was across the street from the whitehouse?
“There was no “siege” on the 6th — it was staged.”
YES IT WAS AND PELOSI IS GUILTY.... but nothing ever happens the evil ones.

Fort Nancy will stand as long as there is one single Marxist in our Congress.
Who ordered the Iron Curtain to be built in DC?
Nancy Pelosi’s Planned Reichstag Riot.
Why the Democrat terror over the nuke codes? Fear that the US, under Trump, could retaliate against a bioweapons attack.
Same fear that caused Democrats/leftists affiliated with the antinuke group Global Zero, such as Valerie Plame and her tea-swilling ambassador husband with all the mining interests, to try to set up and impeach Bush via Cheney aide Scooter Libby throughout the investigations of the 2001 anthrax attack.
