Mark Milley's alleged China Call 'violated the law', retired Colonel says; 'He has no statutory authority'
If the allegations made by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa about Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley assuring China they would be forewarned, should then-President Trump decide to launch a military attack, the top White House military advisor has violated the law and should be called before Congress to testify, according to retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor.
Macgregor, who retired from the military in 2004 and became a senior Pentagon adviser to Trump-era Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" he was not as surprised as much of the public by the allegation Milley essentially undermined his boss, the then-president, and gave comfort to a rival nation.
Macgregor told host Tucker Carlson that he is not surprised by the allegation, but noted that Milley – as of 8 PM ET – has yet to offer his side of the story. The colonel added that Woodward – who has written other exposes on the Trump era – has a tendency to be "somewhat flexible in interpretation" of events and quotations.
"The chairman [of the JCoS] is not in position to order anyone in the armed forces to say or do anything. He can’t do it. He is preeminently the senior military advisor to the president. That’s what he is, so in theory, before he would make such a phone call he would discuss the subject of the phone call with the president, the commander in chief," said Macgregor.

He'd be stupid to admit it because if true, he absolutely should be court-martialed. It doesn't matter that it was Trump and the left hates Trump. He was the lawfully elected President. The military is not allowed to usurp Presidential powers under any condition.I do think he should testify. In public. Hold nothing back.
the commander who criticized the Afghanistan withdrawal was almost universally critiqued for breaking military code even if you agreed with his message. he too knew and accepted the consequences. this is way beyond that - wonder if Milley will receive the same universal condemnation.
People on both sides applaud when their heroes overstep. There's not enough prosecution of higher level politicians and official going on. More of those ass hats need to be in jail to remind these dumbasses they are not all-powerful and above the law.No, we’ve already seen him called a hero by some on this board.
Pshhhht! Nothing will happen to Milley. He’s already being hailed as a hero by the left and the media. Hell, day after tomorrow elementary schools will be teaching that even though Biden is President, Milley is Supreme Leader. The lefties comments show they have no understanding or respect for the Constitution. To them it’s nothing other than a f’ing buzz word to make them sound like they know what they’re talking about.
