So it appears the context is accurate; Milley said what he said.
But I don't think Woodward called it treason; he just "reported" events. It's us on the other side of the political divide who are calling it treason.
My point is that Milley didn't sic his lawyers on Woodward because he no doubt agrees with what was written. He did what he did, thought it was correct to do so, and now has all his allies flying top cover. So yes, it's true. But it also doesn't matter, because sadly, he'll get away with it. Why? Well, this:
The "elites" or "Deep State" or whatever it is called sees itself as prospering. Ergo, it ain't treason. Anyway, the quote comes from the 16th-17th century inventor of the flush commode, Sir John Harrington. A part of the quote was used as the title of a very famous 1964 book (which is how I came to know about this quote) which is eerily prescient about how things are going these days. Here's a bit on Harington:

I guess I'm not as concerned with his conversation with the head of the CPLA. Military leaders talk probably more than we realize. I guess his admissions made to Pelosi afterwards concern me more.So it appears the context is accurate; Milley said what he said.

Yes, these conversations do take place. And they do deal with subjects just like this (hence, why I mentioned CSBM in an earlier comment).
So WHAT he did may not have been necessarily wrong. It's WHY he did it and HOW he did it that really bothers me. If an officer junior to Milley did something like this (s)he would be court-martialed. But he won't because he no longer swears allegiance to the Constitution he swears allegiance to "The Club"TM. And "The Club"TM watches out for its own.
"The road to Hell" applies here (both intention and who should go there).

Try to imagine it was YOUR son leading an attack - and because the left thinks the man in the White House is a loon - THEY TELL THE ENEMY your son is coming and kill him.
Do we all understand that if you don't like the man in the White House, you STILL don't HELP the enemy?

I read that in high school and would like to read it now from an adult perspective, so thanks for reminding me that it exists.

I think we should nail down what it means to "help the enemy."
I get where everyone is coming from; that Milley "helped" the Red Chinese (the enemy). But that's not necessarily how it works. Remember, CSBM weren't brought to the fore to "help the enemy," they were designed to keep events like Sarajevo 1914 from snowballing. In fact, CSBM have their roots in the post-Cuba Missile Crisis after-action reviews.
They (CSBM) can be a good thing. But they can also be misused (which is what Milley and his allies are doing: misusing the CSBM framework to provide cover for a fundamentally unconstitutional action on his part).
But on the other hand, if by "helping the enemy" we mean those domestic entities who opposed Trump, then I'm onboard: Milley helped the enemy.
A civil-military disaster. Maybe instead of crashing on Xendi's race-hustling BS Milley should have spent his reading time reacquainting himself and wrestling with Samuel Huntington's "The Soldier and the State."

The product of "Government" unionization.
I'll take this as simply stated
paraphrasing
if Trump orders an attack on China, I will call and tell you the attack is coming ......
seems like that is going to cost American Service Members Lives
Milley described George Floyd riots as ‘penny packet protests,’ book claims
"Peril" offers a number of revelations about discussions at the White House
"Peril," by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, claims that Milley was discussing the protests that erupted at the death of Floyd in Minneapolis with then-President Trump in late May 2020.
Milley reportedly pushed back against claims that the country was facing an insurrection that was "burning America down."
"Mr. President, they are not burning it down," he said, according to Woodward and Costa.
While it was not clear exactly when at the end of May the conversation took place, by the end of the month there had been rioting in a number of cities, often for multiple nights before authorities could restore order. More than a dozen cities instituted curfews and thousands were arrested, while thousands of National Guard members were deployed in at least 15 states.

Not at all... They were mostly peaceful arsonists. Righteous Looters! Justified murderers!

Since I had no idea what "penny packets" were I had to look it up. Here's a reference:
www.airforcemag.com
So while I get what Milley is saying (i.e., these were small, localized incidents), I think he couldn't have been more wrong. These riots may have been spontaneous and autonomous in one sense, but they were highly coordinated in the sense that the rioters shared common purpose (and there was clear coordination between cells via Twitter, etc. In other words, all the earmarks of unconventional warfare). So maybe this is why we lost in Iraq and Afghanistan; we had leaders who failed to understand what was actually going on...? (insert rhetorical question emoji here). So maybe not an insurrection, but surely the country was burning down; both literally and morally/culturally.
For a guy that is supposedly so smart, Milley does come across as quite the simpleton; a man far above his Peter Principlejob level. (File under "How to call someone an idiot w/o actually calling said person an idiot."

If you follow Andy Ngo's reporting on AntiFA this a wholly obvious ... the Progressive Media has ignored this [ even falling victim to AntiFA Antics ] as well as Trump Hating Authoritarians in the Gov .. aka the Deep State like Vindman who think THEY Alone know better then the President
Yeah maybe with your years of experiance, but you are paid to do a JOB and the President is ELECTED TO SET POLICY Wither YOU think it is a proper course of action or not

1968 Washington was worse? Please. So in this Chairman of the Joint Staff we have a man with a poor sense of history opining out of his lane using the opportunity as his own personal struggle session to confess his white guilt? For someone who should be espousing that in the military we are all "Kermits" (i.e., green) we get this corrosive, progressive BS? This guy is the Chairman of the Joint Staff? Incredibly disappointed. He needs to be fired; we need to clean house as soon as we retake Congress and the White House. As Kurt Schlichter (over at Townhall; retired, fellow Army War College grad) has said numerous times over the past several months we need Republicans who will hold these institutions' feet to the fire. Meaning we have to have Republican voters who will hold our elected leaders' feet to the fire.
