There were articles early in Trump's time in office where our diplomats and administration officials were telling our allies and not-allies to ignore what Trump said about America's foreign policy.

Trump was very aggressive in his semi-threats.

and certainly was not in any condition to give military strike orders giving his paranoid and delusional reaction to his landslide election loss.

Miley would have been a traitor if he didn't do something to keep Trump's maniacal impulses in check. Trump led a coup against the government to stay in power, for crying out loud!

Everything Miley did was done in accordance with existing policy, in the light of day, and witnessed by government officials. It’s the GQP that assumes something must be criminal here because that is how they would do it - criminally. No wait, let me correct that. That is exactly how they did it when Trump, Rudy and other hacks called and threatened the Ukrainian President.

I think we all know who should be charged with treason.
