So far I’ve yet to see a single CNN/MSNBC commentator criticize Milley for reportedly telling China he’d tip them off in the case of an attack — & these are the same networks that spent the entirety of the Trump era fretting “Trump is a Russian agent!” “He’s a lawless dictator!”

If you watch the first clip in this thread, it appeared CNN's Camerota expected Rep. Garamendi to criticize Milley & was surprised when he didn’t. As the day progressed, the usual talking heads became increasingly assertive that actually Milley was on point b/c Trump is “insane"
So basically, the Deep State does exist & we should be grateful for it bc otherwise we'd be tied to the Constitution’s stodgy chain-of-command, which in this case means our enemy Donald Trump calling the shots, which as everyone knows is just a completely unacceptable alternative
Most galling, I guess, is that these people don’t even pretend to have principles. Otherwise they’d feel inclined to preface their remarks with something like, “Look, here’s why I’m about to do a 180 on everything I’ve been saying for the last 4 years …”
BTW, I’m aware of the possibility Woodward pulled a Woodward & sensationalized some of these scenes. In this case though I doubt it; for one, his coauthor, Robert Costa, has a better reputation for accuracy; for another, the consensus seems to be that Milley was himself a source
