Whither General Milley?
A prescription for accountability from General Milley

As all readers know by now, during his last hours in office, Joe Biden gave former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, a “full and unconditional pardon” for any offenses “which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through the date of this pardon, arising from or in any manner related to his service as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.” Milley, like many others who Biden favored with these blanket pardons, had not been convicted or even charged with a crime.
Even though the pardon insulates Milley from being charged with any federal crimes, there is still a way to obtain some accountability from him. As a retired officer, he is subject to recall to active duty at any time. That provides a mechanism for much-needed accountability.
A pardon of innocents?
Biden pardoned Milley along with Saint Fauci and members of the J6 committee on Monday, one day before President Trump’s inauguration. Biden defended these unprecedented preemptive pardons by suggesting that those favored were not guilty of any offense:The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.
