Accusations of Treason and Insubordination

• ⚠️ General Millie is questioned for alleged insubordination to Trump and communication with China, with his defense being Trump's alleged lack of support for the "post-war international rules-based order."
• ⚖️ This defense is framed by Bannon as a potential "defense of treason."

Concerns Over FBI and CIA Operations

Political Strategy and 'Unmasking'
