The memo had been secretly drafted by two Trump loyalists. No one on the national security team knew about it, according to the book. The memo was eventually nullified, but Milley could not forget that Trump had done an end run around his top military advisers.

He knows what advisors are, right?

... General Milley does know that in the US, the military works for the government and not the other way around, does he?

I mean, if this story is correct, Trump should have been cutting out a Pentagon willing to conduct a coup out of the loop more often, not less.

Regarding "memos": maybe I'm just unobservant and didn't notice this shit before roughly 2016, but at what point did "I totally wrote it down so it must be true" become admissable evidence? It feels like this retarded nonsense was "spontaneously" normalized just in time for leftists to constantly make up a bunch of shit about Trump, and now "muh memos" are just an accepted thing. Why the fuck does anyone believe in or abide by this? It's no different than "sources say", except the source is a piece of fucking paper you scribbled on.

In this instance, people are reportedly willing to testify to their direct exposure, so the "memo" won't be the sole evidence. But fuck am I tired of hearing this term.

Yeah, this seems a lot like Woodward spinning some bullshit so Leftists can say on Reddit "AKSHULLY, Trump tried to withdraw troops early on January 15th, so the same thing would have happened to Trump as what happened to Biden."

I think I might want to look into Watergate again to doublecheck his work.
