  1. Remember how Biden brought up the Logan Act when Flynn told Russia, on behalf of then president-elect Trump who was in transition to office, to keep cool. This Milley was calling China to thwart the President. Which qualifies as a Logan Act violation? And it is not a question of whether Biden has confidence in the leftist woke general – it a question of subverting a different president than Biden. What is Biden’s confidence then – that Milley will continue to subvert any Republican President!
