Sean Hannity stated that if the accusations of Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa are true, and Chief of Staff Chairman Mark Milley assured People’s Liberation Army General Li Zuocheng that he would warn Beijing of a US nuclear attack, the top military officer is a “dangerous traitor” on Wednesday in “Hannity”.
In “Hannity,” the host read the passage in question from Milley’s Woodward and Costa, talking to Li, “If we’re going to attack, I’ll call you in advance.”
“Either that line is false and the Woodward and Costa reports are nothing but a total BS lie, or that would mean the only option I see is that Milley would be a traitor. I don’t see any middle ground here. It’s one way or the other, ”Hannity said.
Going deeper into his report on Milley, Hannity said the book alleges that Milley joined the legislature which is the third in line in the presidency to undermine Donald Trump’s presidential powers.
“Shortly after receiving a phone call from a hyperventilating Nancy Pelosi to demand that nuclear football withdraw from President Trump,” Hannity said. “General Milley, according to this book, summoned senior officers and informed them that he had to be involved in any decision to launch nuclear weapons.”
The host asked if Milley was “colluding” with Pelosi to usurp the constitutional authority of the White House.
If so, it would constitute the real definition of “insurrection,” which Hannity noted Democrats like to play with Trump and his supporters.

“That’s the favorite word of Democrats,” he said. “[But] our constitution is clear. It authorizes the president and only the president with that power and authority over our military. There is no constitutional authority granted to the President of the Joint Chiefs. “
Hannity asked Congress to appoint a special commission to investigate the veracity of the book’s claims, adding that until it is resolved, Milley should be surplus administratively.
If that were to happen, apparently the vice president of joint chiefs of staff, USAF General John Earl Hyten, would enter the lead role in the interim.
“[O]No two things are true: Milley is a dangerous traitor who can seriously endanger our country or Woodward and Costa are liars, ”Hannity said.
