I may be confusing him with some other general, but he allegedly informed the CCP that he would not follow Trump's order if Trump ordered an attack. The proggies were convinced Trump would order an attack on China in order to stay in power. Something like that. Trump (bombastic as always) says this was treason! Maybe IDK. But, that's why the pardon.

Milley committed a serious court martial offense in going behind HIS Commander in Chief’s back, by EVEN taking it upon himself, to contact the CCP — under ANY circumstances having to do with our Military!

His was another case of rabid “TDS” that would definitely have gotten him serious trouble had Biden not pardoned him.

Every one understands this, EXCEPT those “TDS” infected who are going to whine & bitch for the next 4 years, “But, but, but Trump …!”

Milley did not commit treason. He did his job. He knew Trump had no intention of going to war with China despite the president's harsh rhetoric toward the CCP at the time, so he called his counterpart to ensure China kept its fingers off its nuclear buttons to ensure no lethal mistakes would be made. De-escalation of tensions is part of his job. In his own words:

I posted it for the video content, Dennis. Was it too much to expect of you to watch and hear what he actually said?

Yes, he was that general, and IMO, treason.

You may not like Gen. Milley's phone calls, but they were not treason. They were not even illegal, they were part of his job. That Trump called him a traitor later on would have been slander and libel had they not both been public figures.
