People are getting ousted left and right from the Pentagon, and this comes right after we got word that the Trump admin may be searching for Pete Hegseth’s replacement.
Shortly after word broke last month that the Pentagon might brief Elon Musk on secret war plans in China, Hegseth exploded at the then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Christopher Grady.
“I’ll hook you up to a f**king polygraph!” Hegseth reportedly yelled at Grady, per two unnamed sources who spoke with the outlet.
There are only three people left in Hegseth’s inner circle per the Guardian, and the walls are closing in.
We just learned that Hegseth has a “dirty line” of unsecured office internet to enable him to use the Signal Chat app on a personal computer. He’s been using that line to text our Houthi strike plans to group chats with journalists by accident, and apparently family members including his wife.
There are a variety of takes on what should be done about Hegseth, although most people have agreed this is magnitudes more severe than Hillary’s emails. Here’s what Hegseth had to say about Hillary on Fox:
“Any security professional – military, government or otherwise – would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct, and criminally prosecuted. The fact that she wouldn’t be held accountable for this, I think blows the mind of anyone who’s held our secrets dear, who’s had a top secret clearance, like I have.” (Here’s the clip)
Imagine how much espionage America is open to due to Pete Hegseth’s conduct, just from what we know publicly about the scope of the leaks. Imagine if his wife, who he was sharing confidential information with on Signal, had her cell phone compromised.
The lives of Americans serving their country is at risk every single day Pete Hegseth still has his job.
