Pence does have the power to call out the National Guard. Here is something very interesting, from J.B. White's twitter:
"The command's most recent initiative is the Cyber 9-Line, an online portal with the National Guard to enable states and counties to quickly diagnose malware (software which has been designed to operate in a malicious, undesirable manner) within their networks. Look out, CCP.
Cyber 9-Line provides CYBERCOM with:
1) the date/time of the incident;
2) classification of the information’s sensitivity;
3) information about critical infrastructure and key resources affected;
4) the attack’s origin;
5) a rating of severity;
6) a narrative of the incident;
7) request for support/escalation;
8) associated reporting; and
9) indicators of compromise.
This [] cooperation & feedback provides local, state and [DOD] partners with a holistic view of threats occurring in the [U.S. &] abroad,” said [] Army [] Gen. William Hartman, CYBERCOM’s Election Security Group lead and Cyber National Mission Force Command.
Hartman: “Dealing with a significant cyber incident requires a whole-of-government defense; bidirectional lines of communication and data sharing enables the collective effort todefend elections."
There’s that whole-of-government thing again.
Are y’all beginning to smell what the Trump team, under what was likely lead consultation with General Flynn, cooked up when they put together their 2016-17 transition LANDING TEAMS ???
And proceeded to GOVERN !?!
Or, how those September 2018 Executive Orders are militarily important ???
Or, how Cyber 9-Line, a portal with the National Guard – created to benefit the sovereign states –might involve the President of the Senate and Senator to all 50 sovereign states, Mike Pence ???
