Oh dear........sounds like an intelligent, stand up guy to me.
General Mark Milley did not ignore any direct orders from then-President Donald Trump to protect the Capitol. In fact, no specific public record shows that Trump gave Milley direct orders to intervene in the events at the Capitol that day.
What is known is that General Milley and other military leaders were deeply concerned about the events surrounding January 6 and the possibility of violence. However, Milley was careful not to involve the military directly in the election dispute, a stance he emphasized in the weeks leading up to and following the attack. He also took steps to ensure that any actions taken by the military would be in accordance with the law and would not appear to support any political objectives.
Reports suggest that Milley coordinated with Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other leaders during the attack to ensure the situation was brought under control, and to offer assistance from the National Guard and other forces.
After the attack, Milley made comments about the military's nonpartisan role and expressed concern about the risk of Trump attempting to use military power to stay in office.
