Elections Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Strips Mark Milley of Security Clearance, Milley May Face Demotion In Retirement

[Fergelmince]

Elections have consequences. Conspiring with the Enemy back in 2020 may come back to haunt Milley.



EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce he is "immediately pulling" retired Gen. Mark Milley's personal security detail and security clearance, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News.

The secretary is also directing the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. Milley to be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to "undermine the chain of command" during President Donald Trump's first term, officials say.

The Pentagon will also be removing a second portrait of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon. This one is from the Army's Marshall Corridor on the third floor honoring his service as chief-of-staff of the Army. Fox is told the removal of this second portrait will take place as soon as tonight. This means there will be no more portraits of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon.

The first portrait of Gen. Milley, from his time as the U.S. military's top officer, was removed from the Pentagon last week on Inauguration Day less than two hours after President Trump was sworn into office.

TRUMP REVOKES SECURITY CLEARANCES OF 51 INTEL OFFICIALS WHO SIGNED DISCREDITED HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP LETTER

The now retired Gen. Milley and other former senior Trump aides had been assigned personal security details ever since Iran vowed revenge for the killing of Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in 2020 ordered by Trump in his first term.

On "Fox News Sunday," the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Tom Cotton said he hoped President Trump would "revisit" the decision to pull the protective security details from John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook who previously served under Trump.

Asked why these actions were being taken, a senior administration official who requested anonymity replied, "There is a new era of accountability in the Defense Department under President Trump's leadership—and that's exactly what the American people expect."

Gen. Milley served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2019 to 2023 under both Presidents Trump and Biden.

Called for an investigation into him as well. Bring him back to active service, make him testify under oath, which he cannot refuse now due to pardon, and ask him about his contacts with the Chinese.

DO IT

 

[jk7707]

Disgusting. But the priorities of this administration have become clear. Revenge first. Anything that has to do with improving peoples' lives....we'll get to it eventually.

 

[Mr Holmes]

He probably should have stepped down after describing that bombing of a bunch of children as "righteous".

 

[Protectandserve]

Seems overly vindictive

 

[Scrody]

Good. He openly talked about how he would tip off the Chinese in the event of a confrontation with US forces. You used to lose your head over things like that, he's getting off light.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Fuck with the Bull, you get the Horns.

Milley is a traitor and should have been dealt with years ago.

Milley is a traitor and should have been dealt with years ago.

Pretty amazing he still had a security clearance after admitting he spoke to PLA officials behind the president, breaking chain of command.

At least Miley is not a drunk that likes to lay hands on women.Too bad Hegseth can’t say the same.

America is looking more like a banana republic every day.

Seems overly vindictive

Yeah. Let the scumbag that knew good & well about FAFO have no ramifications.

Sounds a lot better than the charges he should’ve faced for going behind Trump’s back to tell the Chinese he wasn’t listening to Trump.

I knew what this guy was about when he wrote a letter after that with more virtue signaling about being against fascism where he checked off every American fight of the modern era but didn’t mention the longest running war of his lifetime. The war against communism. That coupled with his declaration of reading Marx and Lenin , “white rage”, and his breaking the chain of command to assuage the worries of the ChiComs specifically tells you McCarthy was right.

 

[Confucamus]

Disgusting. But the priorities of this administration have become clear. Revenge first. Anything that has to do with improving peoples' lives....we'll get to it eventually.

What's disgusting about it?

 

[Sinister]

So much stupidity in this thread its dizzying.

It's called "duty to warn." If we are to execute an attack that could potentially harm civilians, we abide by a duty to warn the opposing Country of an impending attack.

The President is not a King, yet, regardless of how bad you clowns want him to be one.

 

[nhbbear]

I don’t know anyone’s names but I am hoping the man that dresses like a woman is on this list. What a fucking joke for the military

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Superb pettiness.

 

[White Whale]

Superb pettiness.

Not really if Milley did what he did 50 to 100 years he would have been charged with treason.
