President Trump’s Interim Secretary of Defense ignored his orders and did not bring in troops on Jan 6 as ordered by President Trump.
Court Marshall this SOB.
Former Interim Secretary of Defense has previously discussed his wife’s hate for President Trump. This was a recipe for disaster.
Miller’s wife was never a Trump supporter and apparently thought he was an “idiot” for accepting the job of acting defense secretary. The day the mob began to gather outside the Capitol, Miller writes, “I was starting to wonder if she was right.”
What Miller says in the book about January 6th is consistent with his testimony to Congress: He consulted with various legal authorities ahead of the protests. There was general agreement that the National Guard would have a low profile because of the concerns about the Guard’s June deployment to Lafayette Square. Some administration officials, Miller included, worried that Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act; Miller received an assurance from White House aide John McEntee that Trump would not do this—although, McEntee added, the president did have the ability. Miller took McEntee at his word; he also believed that, as acting defense secretary, he had all the authority he needed to make his preparations for that day, and therefore he did not need to speak to Trump at all. Trump did make an offhand remark about needing “10,000 troops” in D.C. to protect demonstrators on January 6th, but Miller didn’t take this seriously as an order.
While Miller’s particular judgments, as revealed in these details, may invite disagreement, it’s important to note that his story hasn’t changed. His book and interviews fill in the picture of the thinking behind his decisions. One of the book’s achievements is to make it feel as though Miller is really offering that glimpse into his mind, repellant as it sometimes is, instead of a dull recitation of Trumpist talking points in a committee-workshopped frame.
But according to the Jan 6 report released today, Miller IGNORED AND DISMISSED President Trump’s Jan 3 Directive to use military assets on Jan 6.
I believe this is what you call insubordination.
Whoa… I didn’t expect this

Sleaze ball is way to kind. This liar has blood on his hands and we, the American people, NEED justice now, the Lord will take care of his eternal judgement. May we get him to that judgement quicker. Peace
