Data Republican prints "the REST of the story" about the "Seditious Six" members of Congress who pushed the ball toward refusing orders of the Commander-in-Chief.
The ball started here:
On January 30, 2017 — ten days into the first Trump presidency — Rosa Brooks published a piece in Foreign Policy laying out four ways to remove a sitting president before his term ended: impeachment, the 25th Amendment, resignation under pressure, and a military coup. Of the last, she imagined the moment senior officers would look at a lawful commander-in-chief and refuse:...

... In late 2018 [Rosa Brooks] joined the advisory council of National Security Action — the organization assembling the personnel. Prior to joining, she sat on the board of Open Society Foundations’ U.S. Programs, the grant-making entity upstream of the money that funded it. She was a senior fellow at New America — which itself takes $1 million-plus annually from Open Society — running its Future of War program, the intellectual shop studying exactly the civil-military questions her network would later litigate.
One person. Four seats. The board of the funder, the think tank writing the framework, the council assembling the staff, and ... then, the project that would rehearse what that staff should do with power....
Oh, yes: she also teaches at Georgetown. That fact alone should make you snap to attention.
Data has the rest here.
