Yesterday The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted an article about Major General<\/a> Errol Schwartz, the head of the Washington, D.C. National Guard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article cites a Washington Post story about General Schwartz’s resignation.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> story on the resignation reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Army general who heads the D.C. National Guard and has an integral part in overseeing the inauguration said Friday that he will be removed from command effective at 12:01 p.m. Jan. 20, just as Donald Trump<\/a> is sworn in as president.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz\u2019s departure will come in the middle of the presidential ceremony \u2014 classified as a national special security event<\/a> \u2014 and while thousands of his troops are deployed to help protect the nation\u2019s capital during an inauguration he has spent months helping to plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing is extremely unusual<\/em>,\u201d Schwartz said in an interview Friday morning, confirming a memo announcing his ouster that was obtained by The Washington Post. During the inauguration, Schwartz will command not only members of the D.C. Guard but also 5,000 unarmed troops dispatched from across the country to help. He also will oversee military air support protecting Washington during the inauguration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy troops will be on the street<\/em>,\u201d said Schwartz, who turned 65 in October. \u201cI\u2019ll see them off, but I won\u2019t be able to welcome them back to the armory.<\/em>\u201d He said he would \u201cnever plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

However, that’s not actually what is going on.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post has changed its story.<\/p>\n

The Gateway Pundit reports:<\/p>\n

Now This\u2026<\/strong>
\nThe Trump administration told FOX News<\/a> of Friday the story is a crock.<\/strong><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Schwartz was offered to stay on his post until after the Inauguration<\/a> but decided to quit during the ceremony and then he ran to the press to complain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to FOX News,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trump Transition team reportedly offered to let him keep his job until the ceremonies were over. Maj. Gen Schwartz refused. It appears he would rather argue his would rather argue his case though in the press.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article at The Gateway Pundit also mentions:<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/em> completely rewrote their story since it was originally posted without any mention of an update.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need to be aware of what is happening here. The mainstream media remembers the time when they were able to bring down a sitting President<\/a> (Richard Nixon) by constantly tearing him down. When you go back and read some of this history of Watergate, you discover that it was a case that should have been over in two months, but behind the scenes in Congress many former members of Bobby Kennedy’s Justice Department<\/a> were engaged in a strategy to delay indictments and prolong hearings in order to bring down the President and the Republican party. Their long-term goal was to prepare the way for Ted Kennedy to become President. What we are seeing now in the mainstream media today is simply another example of the press trying to create opinions rather than to report news..<\/p>\n

We are undergoing a peaceful transition of power. It would be wonderful if those who supported Hillary Clinton<\/a> during the election would remember that Donald Trump won and Hillary Clinton lost. This is the time for working together for America<\/a>. This is not the time for unending attacks on the new President.<\/p>\n
