WaPo Did Not Tell Whole Story on DC National Guard Chief's Resignation

Another important thing I would like to point out, there is a replacement for Schwartz who will immediately take over at 12:01.

DC National Guard Spokesman Major Byron B. Coward told WUSA9. “There’s not going to be any disconnect or anything of that nature.”
Through Major Coward, Schwartz declined a request to be interviewed for this report.
When General Schwartz steps down he will be replaced by Brigadier General William J. Walker, who will assume the title of acting commanding general. The Trump transition team has not yet decided on whom to appoint for the role permanently, a senior transition source said Friday.
At an Inauguration planning event on December 14th of last year, General Walker spoke with WUSA9 about the pending transition of presidential power. He could just as well have been talking about his own impending change in position.
“There’s a sense that you’re actually witnessing history,” Walker said of Inauguriation day. “You are. You’re witnessing history. You’re witnessing the transfer of power.”
