Powerful stuff.

1. Can we stop for a second

And realize how unprecedented this is.

We have had 10 former Secretaries of Defense and now the entire Joint Chiefs release statements repudiating the President.

I think we are going to find out that they were directly asked to do some very bad things.

2. They are basically saying we protect the constitution and the transition of power regardless

They are not going to take Trump's shit whatsoever.

3. Wow, Trumps in Deep Shit if they are Doing This

This tells me there will be justice. They have officially declared it sedition and insurrection. That’s huge coming from the military.

4. I think Trump will do a runner before the 20th abroad, i can't see him staying around.

5. If He Has any Sense Left he Would

The military defining it sedition and insurrection is serious as it gets and opens up a whole realm of avenues for prosecutions. If the military defines it this way, the courts will approach the crimes in that context. That’s huge.

6. Yeah, i can't see any other option for him really, he knows he's in deep shit.

15. I have no doubt the Military will hold.

Trump and his mentor Putin tried to divide the Military, but they were no match for raw honor and faithfulness to Country and Constitution.
