Well…there has been massive speculation on why the idiot trump has knee capped every head of the military and the IC since he lost the election last week…but there really isn’t any need to speculate…it’s clear that this is just another tactic to cover up his incompetence and wrongdoing and to hit back at critics and try to prove that Russia didn’t help him in 2016. The people he replaced, the sec def and others, were mildly competent and had shown that they would buck him in certain instances…as Esper did when he resisted putting troops in the streets to attack peaceful protesters in DC…and I’m sure they would have resisted the wholesale destruction of records that trump is counting on his new toadies to carry out before Jan 20th…you only have to look back at the entirety of idiot boy’s term where they wouldn’t even provide any information even under subpoena since they knew it would reveal lawbreaking across trump’s entire administration…so those records have to go even though that would be breaking even more laws…which I don’t get since once Joe takes over, all of this criminality will be exposed and these new toadies will be exposed to jail time. So, a coup? Nope, just trump covering his ass while he still can…
