(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense for records about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 8, 2021, telephone call with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Defense (No 1:21-cv-00593)).
Pelosi acknowledged the call in a January 8 letter to her Democratic colleagues. In the letter, Pelosi purportedly related her discussion with Milley earlier that same day: “This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike. The situation of this unhinged President could not be more dangerous, and we must do everything that we can to protect the American people from his unbalanced assault on our country and our democracy.”
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Defense Department failed to respond to a January 11, 2021, Freedom of Information (FOIA) request for:
- Any and all records regarding, concerning, or related to the telephone call between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and General Mark Milley on or about January 8, 2021. This request includes, but is not limited to, any and all transcripts, recordings, and/or summaries of the call, as well as any other records produced in preparation for, during, and/or pursuant to the call.
- Any and all additional records of communication between Gen. Milley and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi between November 1, 2020 and the present.
In a section of the letter headed “Removing the President From Office,” Pelosi also told her colleagues: more
Waiting for the result and the records to be shown.
But not holding my breath while doing it.
“…unstable president…”
Nancy Pelosi is possessed by the devil.
Let’s see if I’m over the target here… so in other woids the many attempts to remove President Trump were really to put Bela Pelosi in charge! Not being able to do so, they deliberately installed an idiot who could easily be disposed of in order to achieve their goal of Totalitarianism with a hard-core Commie.
They want a permanent military quick response force to protect their crooked asses. Seal team pelosi. The longer we wait the harder it gets.
She reveals her constitutional ignorance referring to the US as a democracy. The word democracy is not found anywhere in any of the founding documents. I guess she doesn’t like Plato either.
Heard this, this morning, “The President who never was”, fits like a glove.
The hag is deeply psychotic, reckless and dangerously out of control. She needs to be heavily medicated and kept in constraints under close supervision.
Unstable. Must have been referring to Biden.
… shot as a traitor.
I think that it’s high time that the men in the white coats with large butterfly nets come to collect and ship her off to the funny farm. They can take joey and kamala as well and the rest of the democrap and RINO traitors (media too) to the Happy Valley Retirement Home For Wayward Senators and Congress Critters. And they can all take classes in basket weaving and underwater BB stacking.
She is devilish. 80 yrs old and still thirsting for power.
Once again, Fitton and JW does the heavy lifting. Heroes, IMHO.
Where is authority of the Speaker over the military mentioned where in the Constitution?
A Junta doesn’t answer to the Constitution!
“Unhinged”? That old fruit cake’s hinges ran away from her insanity.
She comitted sedition by admission.
Now she’s trying to ramrod the biggest graft in the history of the country through on a party line reconciliation vote.
She won’t stop until someone stops her.
The military is our last resort.
Something is just not right.
In any decent and law observing country/system, Nancy Pelosi would have been apprehended for this stunt. This was a coup, and an abuse of power. But we all know democrats don’t abude by the same laws they want others to abide by.
