Nor would the honest military obey such an order.
…
I can’t answer for Austin & Milley & the like under Biden Inc.
.
Oh I can. Milley, for one, was fine with warning China — CHINA!!! — of any plans that Trump may have presented to thwart China’s crap.
THAT speaks loudly, clearly!
Sadly, I am sure that Austin and Milley are NOT the last of the anti-American military leaders which Obama and Biden promoted, for their anti-American agenda!

She, Jackson and Kagan should be removed for this alone.
I’m betting on stupid and venal!

Legal does not mean ethical. Would anyone buy their book if not for their job?

In the defense contractor biz you can’t even give a 2LT a free doughnut in a meeting without an ethics violation.

The plot thickens.

Accountant Joseph Fried published a calm book on the 2020 election vote rigging fraud.

In his current column at American Thinker, he displays True The Vote’s estimates of illegally trafficked ballots in five swing states, using the tracking methods explained in the film “2000 Mules.”

The highest number of “Mules” is over 1,000 with average number of drop box visits being 50 per Mule. In Pennsylvania.

I’m quite astonished at the scale of voting corruption involved in 2020s election by these numbers.

I’m buying his book on it.

Doing the right thing when it is not illegal to do otherwise.”
One part of me agrees with this, but details matter. Who decides what the “right thing” is, or in this context, what is not a wrong thing? Plush vacations, but where no work or legal effort was involved, a pure gift? That might be suspect, but not related to any past or current cases?? Where is the distinction here to gifting stock to your grandchildren, etc.?

If they write a book (without receiving an advance and the income is only from actual sales) then we should not be restricting their own right to free speech. Or spoken speech, especially if the topic is generic and general, as they are considered our highest legal authorities.

Part of what would make your view more viable is if they were paid 3 or 4 times their current level, to better match what such legal talent* might garner in the private sector. Yes, public service, etc., but to remove or constrain receiving other sources of income would be more tenantable when their income avoids the need to obtain “more”. Plus the more they make, the more they have left over to invest “somewhere”, which has its own complications.

Related to that, and for ALL of the major federal elected, appointed, or confirmed positions, we ought to demand greater public detail about their other income sources (plus spouses and possibly adult children in some cases), not the broad categories currently allowed. But they should be allowed to make investments, etc., as any of us can, except for them they would have to publish their intention to do so one or two weeks (or 3 to 5 days? or?) prior, to avoid even the appearance of insider trading, etc. Stronger restrictions on former public servants entering the revolving door of regulating agencies and regulated entities would be a plus for this goal, as well. [Well, two days until July 4th, so we can pretend that our HS history and civics classes were / are still true.]

*with 3 exceptions?
