Wait, Fox News told me General Milley was a traitor who betrayed the chain of command? Now I'm so confused!
Pentagon officials say Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller should have been aware of the call that Gen Milley had with his Chinese counterpart in January because his own deputy for China policy held a similar call with his Chinese counterpart two days before.

Senior US officials tell Fox News the January 8 call between Gen Milley and Gen Li was initiated by the Chinese, even though preparations had been in the works for some time.

Yeah, I usually turn to Marsha Blackburn for laser-sharp insight and analysis:
Did Nancy Pelosi ask General Milley to take an action outside of his chain of command?

In his first public comments on the conversations, Gen. Mark Milley told @AP that calls he made to his Chinese counterpart in the final stormy months of Donald Trump's presidency were “perfectly within the duties and responsibilities” of his job. https://t.co/qA1MUJUJmu

"Donald Trump is simply too stupid to have done any of this, and the real question is, who was around him putting this bug in his ear? And I think that's one of the reasons Milley was so concerned, and rightly so" - @RadioFreeTom w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/m34knH9t4D

#Milley didn't "pull a Schlesinger" on #nuclear control, but it was close. The bigger problem is that any senior officer was ever in this situation to begin with. My newest in @TheAtlantic:https://t.co/Laf5Kbk1wY
