Nov. 9, the day Axios reports that McEntee summoned Macgregor to the WH & handed him a note instructing him Trump wanted him to find a way to withdraw troops from Syria/Iraq/Germany/Afghanistan/Africa, is the same day Esper was fired and Miller stuffed in. axios.com/off-the-rails-…
It really seems that there needs to be proper depositions, of Miller, mcentee, macgregor, patel, o’brien, etc. etc. etc. Is there a connection between Trump post-election machinations at DoD, the firing of Esper, and Jan. 6? axios.com/off-the-rails-…
So Miller evidently did not consider Macgregor his “senior advisor.” He seemed to regard him as something like a McEntee operative.
It seems Trump/McEntee pushing the sudden troop withdrawal plan and firing the Def Sec only two days after the media called the election for Biden was not about Trump trying to secure his legacy, but part of his plan to overturn the election, that culminated in Jan. 6.

“One of the participants in the operation against Mr. McMaster, Barbara Ledeen, said she was brought on by someone ‘with access to McMaster’s calendar.’”
Does she still work for @ChuckGrassley/Senate Judiciary comm GOP?
“When confronted with details about her involvement in the McMaster operation, Ledeen insisted that she was merely a messenger...she passed the message to a man she believed to be a Project Veritas operative.” The plan was to try to honeytrap the then US national security advisor
piece further down reports that Ledeen retired from the Senate this year.

Rep. Khanna asks Miller if he wants to apologize to the American public and Miller says he stands by all of his decisions.
Khanna: did you or anyone in office try to get ahold of the president on jan. 6
Miller, eventually: not that I am aware of
Khanna now excorciating Miller for asking which 36 minutes delay in timeline he is referring to. I don’t find this helpful.
Just tell him which 36 minutes you mean, and save the time to let him answer

“We hope that we make enough progress so there will be no need for extension of that understanding, but if needed, we would consider at its proper time,” Iran Deputy FM Araghchi told NHK. diplomatic.substack.com/p/us-iran-sugg…
“It is clear they will not finalize the roadmap by the 21st of May,” ICG Iran project director @AliVaez said. But if enough progress, extending IAEA deal would "put more time on the clock.” diplomatic.substack.com/p/us-iran-sugg…
