Toward the end of his one term in office, former President Donald Trump appointed several loyalists to key positions within defense and intelligence agencies — and some of them alarmed Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
An explosive new excerpt published in the Wall Street Journal of a new book by reporter Michael C. Bender claims that Milley was so worried about some of the appointees that he “asked some Pentagon officials whether the new hires had ties to neo-Nazi groups.”
The excerpt does not list which hires Milley was concerned had ties to Nazi groups.
One particularly controversial hire at the time was retired Army Brig. Gen. Anthony J. Tata, a conspiracy theorist who called former President Barack Obama a “Muslim” and a “terrorist leader.”
Other hires included Trump loyalists Kash Patel and Ezra Cohen-Watnick, both of whom had very limited experience in military and intelligence matters.
Add this to two impeachment’s and an insurrection, and it’s bewildering why Trump even has one follower left.

Another story showing how lucky we were that himself was so lazy and incompetent and unable to follow through on most anything. Well there was that huge tax cut his only real priority was money. On the other hand a reasonably competent pol could have done real damage but would anyone else connect with the MAGA masses?
It will take a long time to get rid of all of Trump’s appointments, and a very concerted effort by the Democrats.
