Launch codes are in the football. At least the nuke ones. So….if the missile was a nuke, someone had access to the codes, but the codes change. Fishy. If not a nuke, then commanders have launch authority for defense. I wonder if they tried to take out POTUS because of what intel he might have been carrying at the time, sort of a two birds with one stone kind of thing.
Wasn't he coming back from NK? Was he given intel when in NK and that is what the cabal was mainly trying to destroy? They don't like POTUS, but he can't DO anything without evidence, so destroy the evidence and no reason to fear POTUS.
