Isn't the oath to protect from all things foreign and domestic? An oath to the Constitution and not the president?
But I am glad you are all taking this as 100% gospel. Should make things entertaining when the rest of the details of that trainwreck of an administration are revealed!
Yes they take this oath, but at what point was Trump declaring he was going to do this? Have there been documented cases?
If not, he wasn't protecting this country, he was being political and that is not covered by his oath and could be considered treasonous for contacting a foreign leader, whom he was not authorized to contact.
You want to watch a trainwreck, watch the current administration that you seem to defend daily.
Someone refresh my failing memory.
What was it that got Gen. Flynn all framed up, bankrupted and selling his family home? Threatened his kid?

A little thing called the Logan Act, but at that point Flynn was a private citizen who had contact with other countries as a part of an incoming administration. Similar to what Biden's team did before he was officially President.

I will also add that a joint chief or any military brass answers to a civilian authority through the chain of command, the President to the Secretary of Defense. Unilaterally doing ones own foreign policy engagement outside of civilian command including going around the Secretary of State is treasonous
Indeed. By the hysterically flawed "reasoning" above in the thread, some General can simply decide what he thinks is Constitutional or not, and he can act independently of the Civilian command. His oath is to the constitution afterall, not to "Man".
Dangerous il-logic, there.

You're just as crazy as the rest of the leftards that are doing their best to re-define Jan 6. as America's version of the Reichstag fire. Laughable.
It ain't working, normal people with functioning brains aren't buying the lie. But lying is what your side does best. Slowly, the rest of the sheeple are figuring it out, hence why even usually liberal college students are chanting something about Joe Biden at football and now even at baseball games.
But by all means don't let me stop you from going down with the ship......

If Trump did not overtly plan to attack China, this is treason.
If Trump DID plan to attack China, this is even worse treason.

The revelations come to light in Bob Woodward’s new book “Peril.”
“You never know what a president’s trigger point is,” Milley reportedly told his staff.
According to CNN, who reviewed the book, Milley ‘called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. […] Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved.’
“No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” Milley said, according to the book.
“Got it?” asked Milley.
“Yes, sir,” replied his senior staff.
Read more here.
The new book also alleges that Gen. Milley called his Chinese counterpart after January 6 because he was worried Trump would start a war with China.

General Milley should be arrested and tried for treason!!!! If that isn't treason against the USA, I don't know what is!!!!!

RE: Milley Talked To Chinese Counterpart to Undermine Trump
The only way anything happens is if Trump comes forward. If Trump publicly addressed this and stated that "if Milley did this it is an act of treason", then it would have to be addressed by Biden administration. I don't think he will, but he should.

RE: Milley Talked To Chinese Counterpart to Undermine Trump
As more sh^t like this with Milley and Pelosi gets exposed, the closer this country slips toward a rebellion.
This is treason by Milley and probably the Speaker. There are subordinates to Milley willing to testify. Need to see some serious action taken. Normally Congress handles trials for treason. Obviously if Pelosi is charged, she doesn't decide on a trial. I believe that decision would officially fall to Majority leader Steny Hoyer.
I suspect this is being publicized as another "in your face" to Trump and his supporters.

Also, for the fake news numbnuts, there was no way Trump could go Rogue. He, as the commander in chief, is already rogue.

Unbelievable. To warn an adversary about an attack is treason. I don't even understand his reasoning, because there was never a valid threat towards China from Trump.

RE: Milley Talked To Chinese Counterpart to Undermine Trump
nothing will get done while the Demons are in charge. at least wait until the mid-terms and see if we have the majority in the house and senate and then bring charges against both Peloser and Benedict.
we know that the Demons will defend both of these insurrectionists. if there were insurrectionists these are two good example.

In the matter of 3 weeks this clown has provided two of the biggest blunders in the last 50 years
Both should be on trial tomorrow

Are you so sure Republicans would do anything about it? I doubt they would. Many of them are political traitors and secretly were backstabbing Trump all along
