An investigation needs to happen to ensure that no future President is undermined unconstitutionally the way Trump was during his term. This is absolutely crazy.
During hearings this week, Milley addressed a phone call from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on January 8, 2021, in which she pressed him about the process to launch a nuclear weapon. Milley says he informed her that while launching such a weapon requires multiple people in the chain of command, the president is the sole authority to launch an attack.
“Speaker of the House Pelosi called me to inquire about the president’s ability to launch nuclear weapons. I sought to assure her that nuclear launch is governed by a very specific and deliberate process. She was concerned and made various personal references characterizing the president [President Trump]. I explained to her the president is the sole nuclear launch authority and he doesn’t launch them alone and that I am not qualified to determine the mental health of the President of the United States,” Milley said. “There are processes, protocols and procedures in place and I repeatedly assured her there was no chance of an illegal, unauthorized or accidental launch. By presidential directive, and Secretary of Defense directive, the chairman is part of the process to ensure the president is fully informed when determining the use of the world’s deadliest weapons. By law, I’m not in the chain of command and I know that. However, by presidential directive and DOD instruction, I am in the chain of communication to fulfill my legal, statutory role as the president’s primary military advisor.”

Nancy should be investigated for many things, starting with SELLING access to the speaker’s office to the highest bidders, but she will never be investigated for anything, because in our form of government, and Nancy knows this well, she has IMMUNITY that is almost, if not entirely, impossible to breach.
She needs to be prosecuted for treason. Now. This is the most shocking crime against our democracy.
