WTF?.. Obama to Sack National Guard Chief on 20th
Jan 14^th, 2017 at 5:07pm

Quote:

Outgoing President Obama is reportedly firing the D.C. National Guard chief DURING the inauguration, which could lead to mass riots in D.C. – and threaten the life of President Trump.

Obama ordered that Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz, a key figure overseeing riot control at the inauguration, will be removed from command Jan. 20, 12:01 p.m., just as Trump is sworn in as president.

“It doesn’t make sense to can the general in the middle of an active deployment,” said D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson in response to Obama’s decision.

Well, it does make sense if Obama is trying to cause a National Guard stand down which will allow anti-Trump rioters to wreak havoc on DC.

Schwartz was blindsided by his firing and said he would “never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle.”

The situation is reminiscent of the Baltimore riots in which city officials with close ties to the White House ordered police to stand down and give rioters “space” to destroy property, which of course exacerbated the unrest to the benefit of their agenda.

But there’s more protestors expected for the inauguration than there were in Baltimore: radical leftists from all over the world want to make January 20th the most chaotic Inauguration Day in American history.

“Their stated goal is to ‘disrupt’ the Inauguration festivities as much as possible, and they are planning a wide range of ‘actions’ to achieve that stated goal,” journalist Michael Snyder reported.

“Some of the more moderate groups are using terms such as ‘civil resistance’ and ‘civil disobedience,’ but others are openly talking about ‘blockades,’ jumping barricades, throwing projectiles and ‘citywide paralysis.’”

with any luck..

Trump will go after Obama and Clinton for their crimes and put them in the electric chair..

no water added to the sponge.. Angry

The Mechanic publishes fake news again.

It is Trump who has fired National Guard Chief:

Later in the day, the Post updated its story to note that Schwartz, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, had twice before offered a customary letter of resignation to President Obama which was declined. President-elect Trump however, accepted his resignation, and an as-yet-unnamed interim commander was named by the Pentagon.

Trump didn't fire him, Obama let him go, but Obama had to dismiss him. The other National Guard Chiefs are appointed by their governors, while the DC NG chief is appointed by the President. All Obama appointees are dismissed as of the moment President Trump is sworn in.
It's not a big deal; Trump can request the Maryland or Virginia NG chief assist with smooth transition to his new appointee.

I'm guessing a newly sworn-in President can reappoint a previous term-of-government office holder immediately after inauguration?

Didn't Obama do this with many Bush Administration TOG Pentagon officials?
