Move along folks! Nothing to see here!
Here with some clarification in regard to a previous blog entry:
"After Massive Outrage, Trump Team Reverses, Asks Head of DC National Guard to Not Resign at 12:01 Inauguration Day"
"Transition Team Requests Major General Stay Extra Three Days"
"The Trump transition team has reversed course and is now asking the head of the Washington, D.C. National Guard to not resign at 12:01 PM on Inauguration Day, after massive nationwide outrage including from at least one local city councilman. Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz received a memo instructing him to tender his resignation effective 12:01 PM January 20, the moment Donald Trump is sworn in as president – which is a customary expectation of all presidential political appointees and cabinet members on every Inauguration Day, even when a president is re-elected."
That commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard is under direct authority of the President, the chain of command bypassing the Pentagon? An appointed official who as all others is customarily expected to resign his position at the pleasure of the President. President-Elect Trump in this case.
MUCH IS BEING MADE OF THIS WHEN REALLY NOTHING SHOULD BE MADE? APPEARS TO BE SO.
