Jan. 6 Transcripts: Milley Blasts Flynn for ‘Unnerving’ Statements Leading Up to Capitol Riot
Gen. Mark Milley used his interview with the Jan. 6 committee to excoriate former national security adviser Michael Flynn in the lead-up to the Capitol riot, calling his statements “unnerving” and “highly wrong.”
On Dec. 18, 2020, Flynn appeared on Newsmax, on which he said former President Donald Trump had the authority to use “military capabilities” in swing states to “rerun an election in each of those states.” . . .
According to the latest tranche of transcripts released by the Jan. 6 committee, Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thought Flynn’s comments were “unnerving to people, right, to the American people.”
“I think it’s incumbent upon me as a senior leader of the United States military to assure people — through media is a vehicle of doing it; through Congress is another vehicle of doing it — to assure people that the United States military was not going to be involved,” he told the committee on Nov. 17, 2021. . .
Asked about his fears following Flynn’s comments, he said, “Well, I mean, worst case would be — well, frankly, you saw close to the worst case on the 6th, which is the usurpation of the Constitution of the United States, the overthrow of the Constitution of the United States, and the illegal extension of power, the failure to conduct a peaceful transfer of power, a long-standing U.S. tradition. Those sorts of things, in my mind, were all in the realm of the possible, I suppose, because of things that we saw happening.” (Read more from “Jan. 6 Transcripts: Milley Blasts Flynn for ‘Unnerving’ Statements Leading Up to Capitol Riot” HERE)
