Trump removing head of DC Nat'l Guard IN THE MIDDLE of the inauguration (pizzagate)

THIS IS PROBABLY NOTHING and is probably better suited for /pol (but i say let's leave no stone unturned to flesh out these sick fucks)

I just saw linked on Drudge that the Washington Post is reporting that Trump is planning on (which may effectively be his first act as POTUS) removing the head of the DC Nat'l Guard in the middle of the inauguration at 12:01pm. very curious, especially considering his troops will BE DEPLOYED in DC for the swearing in. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/commanding-general-of-dc-national-guard-to-be-removed-from-post/2017/01/13/725a0438-d99e-11e6-b8b2-cb5164beba6b_story.html?utm_term=.5aa12d13784e

again, probably nothing, but learning of his proudest achievement gives me slight pause: "Schwartz said that he is most proud of the Youth Challenge Academy, a school for teenage dropouts run by the Guard with an infusion of federal money. The school, separate from D.C. public and charter schools, is located at the former Oak Hill facility, the District’s old juvenile jail. Schwartz said that about 60 percent of the student body have obtained high school diplomas, and some have gone on to college."

the general submitted a letter of resignation to give the new administration a clean start.

Two military officials with knowledge of the situation said the Trump team decided to accept the resignation. A person close to the transition said transition officials wanted to keep Schwartz in the job for continuity, but the Army pushed to replace him.

Schwartz, who was appointed to head the Guard by President George W. Bush in 2008, maintained the position through President Obama’s two terms. He said his orders came from the Pentagon in the form of an email that names his interim successor, a brigadier general, who takes over at 12:01 p.m. next Friday.

Where do you get that it was Trump who did this?

yer, the man himself says he just got the order from the pentagon, but doesnt know who ordered it, although 'tradition' says its the president who does the hiring and firing for this position http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-13/dc-national-guard-chief-fired-days-trump-inauguration-timing-extremely-unusual

i prefer a medieval style tin foil coif to a hat, but maybe this is Obama ensuring a smooth transition for trump in exchange for trump protecting obamas reputation in hindsight.

To me it seems like making the army disorganized for the coming assassination attempt on Trump.

ooo shit - i hadnt thought of that. It does make some kinda sense. The big question now is - who replaces him? (John Podasta bwahahaha)
