So in other words, you don't even know what any of this topic is about??


You're just a 12 year old girl getting your feelings hurt because you're too fricking lazy to get caught up?


Why are you a coward? Why are you refusing to watch the interview?

You don't have to be from the 'left' to see PH is unprepared and incompetent, especially as it pertains to OPSEC.

Pete is all in for a trillion dollar military budget. I don't really understand why the MIC wants him out.

Hegseth said there is a special unit/office in the Pentagon that investigates leaks all day long and they pinged the ones fired. So it sounds like taking phones while they are still at DOD to catch leaks, is old school.

So far...I think Tucker heard war and jumped full speed and this guy played him.

They need that money, the ships are OLD and AI will be part of DoD.

Going to war and Trump wanting the best ships and space programs-this I can tell you- are different beasts.

I am interested in the Energy Sec. will they rebuild our electric grid?

This was my main takeaway from that entire Tucker interview as well. Insanity.

Not at all. Did you watch the entire interview?

Here are the bullet points IMO:


- there is zero percent chance the leakers were the longtime friends and work mates of Pete Hegseth, whom he appointed

- there is 100% chance the leakers are Pentagon lifers who hate Trump and Hegseth

- there is 100% chance the "pingers" and the "investigators" are Pentagon lifers who hate Trump and Hegseth

- there is 100% chance NBC was in on this from the start

- there is 1000% chance Hegseth and the mouthpieces like the little blonde press secretary throwing war veterans under the bus, had better get their shite together and walk this shite back, or they're going to be running head on into a coverup disaster that their enemies at CNN, NBC, CBS, WaPo, NYT are salivating over.

- let me say that again...the three Hegseth old friends and political appointees that are being thrown under the bus wrongly, are going to become the darlings of the MSM, if only for a little while - Hegseth and Leavitt had better get a knot jerked in their asses and stop fricking lying

No.

I don’t enjoy Tucker, never have. The bow tie schtick from the very beginning rubbed me the wrong way.

Is it possible Trump and Hegseth know the truth that these 3 did not betray them or our country, but they’re temporarily acting like they’re throwing them under the bus while they expose the foreign establishment warhawks? There’s no way these 3 men are guilty of an “unauthorized release of information” and not in handcuffs. I watched the entire interview. Normally, Tucker would’ve ended with, “Have you spoken to Pete since? Spoken to Trump?” but Tucker didn’t. Almost like Tucker knows there’s more to this. I loved that Caldwell used this opportunity to mention Susan Rice, Michéle Flournoy and Eric Edelman all STILL in good standing with the D.O.D.

Amen


As I said, invest in crawfish, because there's going to be a bunch of people on here crawfishing on this one


Pentagon lifers who hate Trump and Hegseth did this, and they're blaming guys who've been Hegseth's friends and partners for years

the blonde press secretary needs to shut her fricking trap

I don’t buy this for a second. Caldwell, who enlisted and was deployed as a Marine, served veterans for a decade with Pete, fought for Pete against accusations to help get him confirmed (on his own dime) AND was tasked BY Pete with vetting and placing people in the DOD, did not then betray Pete who he fully aligns with. The 3 men who were fired were all, in different ways, threatening foreign policy establishment which NEEDS to be threatened. We’re being fed lies again. I’m gonna side with our former Marine, our Air Force veteran and our Recon Marine who served in combat. I’m siding with these 3 who align with President Trump before I side with Susan Rice, Michéle Flournoy or Eric Edelman.

I started a similar thread and posted the vid. Mostly received the same response. The guy made several references to Susan Rice and her circle as where the leaks should be investigated.
The only question I had was why Hegseth didn't stick up for him.......
It's entirely possible those who are "investigating" are not who they seem.

He is really trashing disgruntled former employees and I don't think it's an act. Scroll down for the clip here.

It's also possible they did and Pete knows they did.

More likely one will roll over on the others because they committed serious crimes.
