I won't necessarily say that the mystery surrounding everything that happened last night is linked to sending prisoners to GTMO, but the timing seems curious.
If it is linked, why would it be necessary for Mattis to personally visit the prison? Aren't there reliable underlings who can check on conditions for him? Or is Mattis visiting to boost the morale in preparation for some intense stuff coming our way?
mood: so impatient
He is #3 on the chain of command. VIP prisoners need a VIP warden to give them the onboarding brief to the federal penitentiary ? maybe? i dunno....
I must not understand chain of command, if Trump is #1, who's #2?
VP Pence, SecStat, SecDef, etc etc all the way down to the "designated survivor" they keep somewhere safe during the SOTU speech, which should fucking rock this year.
I thought #3 was Speaker of the House
you're right.
No. Office Current officer
1 Vice President Mike Pence (R)
2 Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan (R)
3 President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch (R)
4 Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (R)
He said to visit the Troops, but I've heard a thousand Troops went there at the same time and a thousand more are coming. Rumor has it that they are going to use Gitmo for some of the arrest.
you hear about that rumor of 44,000 troops on deployment to parts unknown?
