A group of retired US generals and admirals wrote an op-ed in The New York Times accusing former President Donald Trump of dereliction of duty for his actions on January 6. One of the authors, Adm. Steve Abbot (Ret.), discusses the op-ed with CNN's Laura Coates. #CNN #News

@H S No way it’s that high
We had over 1,543 days of his DAILY CRIMES 😪 😢 😔 ITS GONNA TAKE A WHILE TO UNDO THE MADNESS 😠
Every “former” somebody wasn’t there.
@trevor pierce Dude, just answer the question: Why didn’t Trump do anything to protect our representatives and our vice president when our Capitol was under attack? Think you can do that? Cause so far you and all the others who pledge allegiance to Trump haven’t given an answer.
@Margo a la Moto your side set the standard…dont get mad when you get what you dished out yourself
@Margo a la Moto and for the record i would like to see the majority of both sides republican and democrates removed from their positions

He is entitled to his own opinion, but has no legal say in the matter when it comes to the Constitution.
@Rich Stone Touchy, touchy…that’s spoken like a real adult. Children and their silly games. Does you mommy know you think like that? Go outside and play now and let the adults talk. LMAO at U
Nightfly 80 * Nor do you.
Just reinforces my already low opinion of Flag Officers. BTW, I did not think that was possible,
@Kenia Mcguire He he he he he he..🤣
You should be reporting on the down fall of our country in the last two years
@Anotherbloodyfanwriter cool outdated conspiracy theory bro. You also gonna tell me the moon landings were faked and the earth is flat? 🤣
Last 6 at least…both clowns.
@Brianna T it’s been going on for many many years
I fear for active-duty flag officers who may also be so very subjective while looking at any set of issues.

they shouldnt be subjective
There are flag officers being replaced. Check them out…
Dereliction of duty is a serious charge in the military; in politics, it’s just Tuesday.
@Pinky Davis about what?
@RJ Dude TROLL ALERT
What do you call not enforcing laws on the books if not that? Don’t pretend that you care at all when you will NEVER hold your party to the same standard.
explain?
@Stephen Wiegman he ran away just like Hawley
@jan coo again, explain.
Saying things that you don’t get is pretty silly. Especially since you’re likely getting your sources and references from Twitter of all places
I would like to hear what retired admiral Steve Abbott feels about Michael Flynn? Is Flynn an example of the military’s respect for the constitution? What about the secret service?
@Daniel either you’re with the fascist or with the democracy there’s no middle ground sweetie
The answer is no.
“On January 6th, the Speaker, a target of an assassination attempt that day, was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was. This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame,” Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi told The Associated Press in an email.
The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later
The answer is no.

@Scott S Baker a little late don’t you think?
@Robert De Brus That statement is awfully fascist… I prefer our republic over democracy though, if u must know.
Let me guess, he’s also one of the 50+ experts that said Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation
@Pete Pierre Are you for real or are you just trolling? It’s hard to believe you are that out of touch unless you only get your info from the corporate news
We’ve literally gone from “Trump Grabbed a steering wheel to get back to the Capital” to “Trump committed dereliction of duty by doing nothing”.
@Tim Gonzales Biden isnt any better. I don’t argue over sides of a turd.
It’s cute that you think Trump wanted to go to the Capitol to stop the violence. Who do you think he is: Rambo? 🤣🤣🤣
The words to describe protesters as ‘mob’, ‘rioters’ frames a certain narrative.
@M.B. 4ya 2,500 is a substantial number, regardless of a total. Anyone only needs to see the video taken during the assault to see the harm and destruction they brought to the Officers and would have done to lawmakers if they had succeeded that day.
I will say again- There is NO comparison to riots/protests in the Summer of 2020 to the attack on this country’s legal Constitutional process— NONE. An entirely different scale.
Your claim that 45 tried to set up additional enforcement and his consistent efforts to incite the Mob are polar opposites.
Ashlii Babbit’s judgement that day could not have been worse. She tried to force her way into Chambers, climbing through a doorway window while legislators were trying to escape the mayhem, and she was warned. The officer protected them, as he was hired to do. It is unfortunate she chose that action. (this is the correct spelling of her name, by the way).
This conversation is over.
@Kt kT Is 2,500 a substantial number compared to 10K, 7K? Nope, 2.5K is a substantial number to 3K. Look up the word substantial. Every officer who died was not by the hands of a protestor. (fact) Two of them actually showed drugs in their system from the autopsy (Fact you failed to refute) The damage is 1.5 M which is minuscule in terms of bloated, overcharged govt contractors who are making the repairs. (fact) No lawmakers where harmed, or came in contact with. (fact) Pence was not hung(fact). Law enforcement at all levels play a part with riots not just the state level (fact) You failed to refute anything about 2020 riots vs the Capitol but what you did do was parrot the same line twice talking about no comparison and using the idiotic reasoning that they were state enforcement after giving you several verifiable facts in my last comments (fact). Starting to see a pattern with the facts you just somehow fail to address? Trump incites a mob but yet he wants 10K military soldiers in place prior to the mob showing up. Polar opposites huh. Yup that’s low IQ stuff there. That’s you getting your azz handed to you and you can’t think of a legitimate response! Let me call the cops at 9 am to let them know I’m robbing the place at 11. Protesting is not stopping a Constitutional process. That is you playing CNN parrot. I told you a list of basic questions that blow your insurrection narrative out of the water. You can’t answer any just like the 1/6 committee wont. Your account is nothing but what CNN told you. You have no facts or knowledge about anything which pretty much makes you a buffoon.🤡 Who cares how to spell her name, nice you can Google now google the words insurrection, CNN Parrot, Karen and low mental acumen. What I care about is all the facts I gave you and you give me some 💩 opinion. You are officially dispatched. Don’t worry you’re not the 1st one to get it and you definitely won’t be the last!
As former Navy, I have a hard time genuinely caring for anything an admiral says. I only saw one or two that gained my respect because most flag officers make rank in peace time by looking nice instead of maintaining a war ready force with decent morale.
Once you pin on the bird, you are no longer military. You’re a politician.
@President_Xi_Jing_Biden You are spouting gibberish just like Trump.
As soon as they mentioned navy, all I could think about was seamen, rear admirals and the poop deck. Oh and a barrel with a hole in the side.
@2CJ please don’t speak again.
Clearly you should listen to the room.
Is this like the list of “Former US Intel Officials’ declaring Hunter’s laptop was Russian Propaganda???
You guys are so funny.
But, we do love these skits you keep putting on.
Hilarious.
Just flush your troubles away.
@James C. yawn
Congratulations on being on tv admiral.

This guys opinion has as much credibility as the “dozens of former security officers” that said that Hunters laptop was Russian disinformation.
Totally agree!
Love how he’s having a hard time saying what they are paying him to say.
