The last time that General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke with President Donald Trump was on January 3, 2021. The subject of the Sunday-afternoon meeting, at the White House, was Iran’s nuclear program. For the past several months, Milley had been engaged in an alarmed effort to insure that Trump did not embark on a military conflict with Iran as part of his quixotic campaign to overturn the results of the 2020 election and remain in power. The chairman secretly feared that Trump would insist on launching a strike on Iranian interests that could set off a full-blown war.THEN MILLIE DONE A TREASON ACT AGAINST AMERICA.

Trump calls prosecutors 'deranged' and 'thugs' Trump, loyalists step up efforts to undermine criminal case in lead-up to hearing-Former US president calls for protests outside Miami courthouse ahead of appearance; failed Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake: To get to Trump, they have to ‘go through me’ By Eric Tucker and Jill ColvinJUN 12,23-Today, 2:43 pm

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and his allies are escalating efforts to undermine the criminal case against him and drum up protests as the former president braces for a history-making federal court appearance this week on dozens of felony charges accusing him of illegally hoarding classified information.Trump’s Tuesday afternoon appearance in Miami will mark his second time in as many months facing a judge on criminal charges. But unlike a New York case, some legal analysts derided as relatively trivial, the US Justice Department’s first prosecution of a former president concerns conduct that prosecutors say jeopardized national security and that involves Espionage Act charges carrying the threat of a significant prison sentence in the event of a conviction.Ahead of his arraignment, Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric against the Justice Department special counsel who filed the case, calling Jack Smith “deranged” and his team of prosecutors “thugs” as he repeated without any evidence his claims that he was the target of political persecution.He called on his supporters to join a planned protest at the Miami courthouse Tuesday, where he will be arraigned on the charges.“We need strength in our country now,” Trump said, speaking to his longtime friend and adviser Roger Stone in an interview on WABC Radio. “And they have to go out and they have to protest peacefully. They have to go out.”“Look, our country has to protest. We have plenty of protest to protest. We’ve lost everything,” he went on.He also said there were no circumstances “whatsoever” under which he would leave the 2024 race, where he’s so far been dominating the Republican primary.Other Trump supporters have rallied to his defense with similar language, including Kari Lake, the unsuccessful Republican gubernatorial candidate in Arizona who pointedly said over the weekend that if prosecutors “want to get to President Trump,” they’re “going to have to go through me, and 75 million Americans just like me. And most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA.”Trump’s calls for protest echoed exhortations he made ahead of a New York court appearance last April, where he faces charges arising from hush money payments made during his 2016 presidential campaign, though he complained that those who showed up to protest then were “so far away that nobody knew about ’em.” Just like in that case, he plans to address supporters in a Tuesday evening speech hours after his court date.Trump is expected to depart for Miami on Monday and will spend the rest of the day in Florida, huddled with advisers. After his court appearance, he will return to New Jersey, where he’s scheduled a press event to publicly respond to the charges.Trump supporters were also planning to load buses to head to Miami from other parts of Florida, raising concerns for law enforcement officials who are preparing for potential unrest around the courthouse. Mayor Francis Suarez was expected to announce additional details Monday about the preparations though there was little police presence near the courthouse as late as Sunday afternoon and barricades hadn’t yet been erected nearby, a stark contrast to New York City where police planned for protests for weeks even though no violence ultimately happened.The Justice Department unsealed Friday an indictment charging Trump with 37 felony counts, 31 relating to the willful retention of national defense information. Other charges include conspiracy to commit obstruction and false statements.The indictment alleges Trump intentionally retained hundreds of classified documents that he took with him from the White House to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, after leaving the White House in January 2021. The material he stored, including in a bathroom, ballroom, bedroom, and shower, included material on nuclear programs, defense and weapons capabilities of the US and foreign governments, and a Pentagon “attack plan,” the indictment says. The information, if exposed, could have put at risk members of the military, confidential human sources, and intelligence collection methods, prosecutors said.Beyond that, prosecutors say, he sought to obstruct government efforts to recover the documents, including by directing personal aide Walt Nauta — who was charged alongside Trump — to move boxes to conceal them and also suggesting to his own lawyer that he hide or destroy documents sought by a Justice Department subpoena.Some fellow Republicans have sought to press the case that Trump is being treated unfairly, citing the Justice Department’s decision in 2016 to not charge Democrat Hillary Clinton for her handling of classified information through a private email server she relied on as secretary of state. But those arguments overlook that FBI investigators did not find any evidence that Clinton or her aides had willfully broken laws regarding classified information or had obstructed the investigation.New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, speaking Sunday on CBS News, said there was a “huge difference” between the two investigations but that it “has to be explained to the American people.”The Justice Department earlier this month informed former US vice president Mike Pence that it would not bring charges over the presence of classified documents in his Indiana home. A separate Justice Department special counsel investigation into the discovery of classified records at a home and office of US President Joe Biden continues, though as in the Clinton case, no evidence of obstruction or intentional law-breaking has surfaced.Trump’s own former attorney general, William Barr, offered a grim prediction of Trump’s fate, saying on Fox News that Trump had no right to hold onto such sensitive records.“If even half of it is true,” Barr said of the allegations in the indictment, “then he’s toast. I mean, it’s a pretty — it’s a very detailed indictment, and it’s very, very damning. And this idea of presenting Trump as a victim here — a victim of a witch hunt is ridiculous.”

Analysis-Biden adopts strategy of silence as Trump indicted-President has little to gain by commenting on his rival’s legal woes, with many Trump supporters already believing the former leader is a victim of a ‘deep state’ conspiracy-By Sebastian Smith-JUN 12,23-Today, 9:04 pm

WASHINGTON (AFP)  — What does US President Joe Biden have to say about Donald Trump? The golf match playing on Air Force One television screens on the day of Trump’s indictment made it clear: nothing.With his main 2024 challenger due in court Tuesday to face unprecedented charges for an ex-president of obstructing justice and illegally hoarding top secret documents, Biden finds himself in a politically precarious position.After all, it is a Justice Department headed by a man he appointed, Attorney General Merrick Garland, that will oversee the prosecution of an opponent.Say anything — even express interest — in the fate of the far-right former president, and Biden will fuel fires already blazing among Republicans who believe Trump’s conspiracy theory that he is the victim of some “deep state” persecution.Hence, switching televisions to the Golf Channel on Air Force One during a presidential trip to North Carolina on Friday — instead of the usual CNN, which that day was buzzing with images, reports, commentaries, and frantic chyrons about the just-unveiled indictment.Asked about the case by reporters traveling on the plane, Biden’s answer was an emphatic, “No comment.”Asked if he had even spoken with Garland, Biden also said no.“And I have no comment on that.”Under longstanding custom, the Justice Department is independent from the White House. Adding a further remove from politics, the man actually prosecuting Trump, Jack Smith, is a special counsel operating on a kind of legal island all of his own.But in a United States where Republicans and Democrats have lost trust in each other and where the Republican leader, Trump, built his re-election campaign on the lie that Biden did not beat him in 2020, such gentleman’s agreements count for little.Hence Biden’s strategy of staying clear of the biggest political development in the country — and from the man he will probably have to beat to win a second term next year.“I think that President Biden’s behavior so far has been perfectly appropriate,” Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond, said.“The special counsel has not had any contact with Garland or Biden on this case since he was appointed. Biden should continue to resist offering any public comment on the case. As president, he should leave that task to others, and allow the special counsel to prosecute the case.”Loose lips? A problem with Biden’s keep-it-quiet strategy is that Biden has a tendency of saying things that many, not least his nervous staff, think he shouldn’t.There was that time last year when an impassioned Biden, referring to President Vladimir Putin and his bloody invasion of neighboring Ukraine, said: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”The White House made clear after that it was not US policy to remove Putin.Then there are the several occasions when Biden has gone further than standard US public statements on the commitment to defend Taiwan from Chinese attack — geopolitical thunderclaps routinely followed up by the White House with assurances that nothing has changed.Maintaining radio silence on the Trump scandal may get exponentially more difficult as the campaign develops.It is possible that the Republican may be on trial at the height of election season next year, making the subject near impossible to avoid — especially when Trump turns his trial into a vehicle to convey damaging conspiracy theories about supposed White House abuse of power.Political scientist, and author of a book on the presidency, Lara Brown said Biden is doing the right thing — and that trying to address the issue would in any case be futile.“Nothing good can come from him speaking publicly about the matter. The legal process will play out over the next many months, and whatever results come about will be statement enough,” she said.“Trump’s supporters dislike and distrust Biden. Heck, many even fail to believe that he is the legitimate president.“And there is nothing that can be said by any Democrat, let alone President Biden, to convince them that the Justice Department is acting in the interests of the rule of law and the American people.”
