Obama Pentagon official says anti-Trump military coup now possible
2017-02-06
[WASHINGTONTIMES] A former Defense Department official under the B.O. regime has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump

from power.

In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks

presidents in American history.

"Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared," Ms. Brooks wrote. "[One] possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders."

For the first time in her career in public service, including three years as senior counselor to the Pentagon’s policy chief from 2009 to 2011, "I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officials might simply tell the president: ’No, sir. We’re not doing that.’"

Ms. Brooks’ editorial comes as a recent poll by Public Policy Polling group found that 40 percent of registered voters support Mr. Trump’s impeachment.

In addition, 52 percent of voters polled said they would rather have President B.O. in the Oval Office, opposed to the 43 percent who support the Trump presidency.
