I'm inclined to trust Grenell's assessment.

For this kind of story (notifying China if America strikes) to suddenly be floating out, I would say someone on the Left wants Milley out or discredited.
It’s an accusation that is as vicious as it is believeable.
I already have a low opinion of Milley’s ‘leadership skills’.

Hey! It was on CNN! It must be true < /sarcasm >
I watched it on YT https://youtu.be/wcGUVBJgZnE
they were trying hard to spin it into something other than what it is. Treason.

All this time I thought it was Corn Pop who tipped off the Chinese.

I tend to believe Grenell, too. And I do not believe anything Bob Woodward writes…

Can't find any comments from Milley on this matter. I don't see what the CJCS has to gain by not immediately stepping on the Woodward stuff...unless it's true.

Is this treason? That word gets bounced around a lot. But, would this classify ?

“””Grenell Calls Report About Milley Helping the Chinese ‘Gossip and Innuendo’”””


I tend to agree.

The Leftists are masters at creating diversions to take people’s attention from things that really matter, such as election fraud, open borders, trillion dollar spending sprees.

Politico/Jan. 8th, 2021

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke with the nation’s top military officer on Friday about precautions in place to prevent President Donald Trump from ordering a nuclear strike or conducting other military hostilities as Democrats seek his removal from office.

The stunning revelation came in a letter from the speaker to House Democrats outlining next steps following a violent breach of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday by Trump supporters. Pelosi said she spoke to Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley about guardrails in place that could prevent “an unstable president” from wielding the military or the country’s nuclear arsenal

Recall that the serving (not acting) DNI was Ratcliffe during the time period of well before the election to the end of the date January 20, 2021.

In the first place, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is NOT in the chain of command for authorization of a nuclear strike. He is in the information loop at his security clearance level. Joint Chiefs are advisors to the CIC, the President.

None of us know if this is true and correct. However, it is very believable in the strange times we inhabit. We know the phone call from Pelosi happened as it was well-reported.

I would think if this really happened that there would have been some leaks prior to this?

Lest we forget, this “story” was the constant narrative of the leftist media elite in DC..... “Trump was unstable”, “Trump was unhinged”, and “Trump would get us in WWIII.”

I agree, but there are a bunch of people implicated here, idientifiable people, who need to state under oath what the truth is.

I don’t know if this is true or not but the sad part is that Milley’s statements and actions over the last ten months or so make this entirely believable.

I have said about Grenell; one the best civil servants we had. He was competent, transparent, and worked for the American taxpayer.
