"The messages, casually exchanged last weekend in a crowded, public space, show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the deployment of the Army's 82ndAirborne, an infantry division that has been parachuted into combat zones in both world wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan. If the administration were to send in the Army division, it would almost certainly be challenged in court under federal laws limiting how the military can be used domestically."
"In another exchange, Salisbury simultaneously praised and insulted Patel. Specifically, Salisbury hailed the director's decision to fire several FBI agents who had been photographed kneeling during a protest in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd: This is how Kash survives, Salisbury wrote. He will do this stuff for the man but day to day giant douche canoe. A spokesperson for the White House told the Star Tribune that Salisbury was in Minnesota last weekend to serve as a pallbearer at his uncle's funeral."
Anthony Salisbury, deputy to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, exchanged messages with administration officials in a crowded public space visible to others. Screenshots show discussion of deploying the Army's 82ndAirborne Division to Portland. Domestic use of the Army division would almost certainly face legal challenges under federal law, and the administration instead deployed 200 National Guard members to Portland; city and Oregon state officials are suing over that deployment. Salisbury both praised and insulted FBI Director Kash Patel for firing agents photographed kneeling after George Floyd's murder, writing a derogatory phrase about Patel. Salisbury was in Minnesota to serve as a pallbearer at his uncle's funeral. Patel also fired an FBI trainee for displaying a gay pride flag in the workplace last year.
