[Mr. Jeeves]

...an attorney must have the confidence and trust of the client.

"I don't trust you."

"Well, you're not allowed not to trust me! This is an outrage!"

[1Old Pro]

Good, things are starting to go in the right direction.

[Ditto]

disturbingly many in SAC.

SAC ceased to exist in 1992… 16 years before Obama was elected..

Interestingly, while there is evidence that Shakespeare practiced law, most scholars agree he had studied to be a lawyer and his plays frequently involved detailed (and correct) legal procedures and proceedings.

Lawyers are necessary in a nation of laws. Many of our Founding Fathers were lawyers.

And a really good lawyer with business sense is a fantastic person to have on your side. They are rare, though.

The retired former JAGS merely revealed what kind of JAGs they had been, the kind that saw themselves in charge over and above the commanders they served.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth has ordered all files on Benghazi to be unclassified.

[FreedomPoster]

I saw that. Potentially quite interesting.

I think you made an error in that SAC was deactivated in 1992 and Obama was not President until 2008.

[Phoenix8]

Thanks for the correction. Dates are not my strong suit in my memory.

However he did fire a number of officers in charge of nuclear forces if I recall, and many others.

“ That same week, Obama fired the number-two nuclear commander,…”.

[hal ogen]

Now they are appropriately JAG-offs.

Hegseth has been quietly impressive thus far, is my take.

"Quietly" is not a word that comes to my mind when thinking of a description for SecDef Hegseth.

Impressive? Most definitely.

[FreedomPoster]

He doesn’t seem to be going out of his way to jump in front of TV cameras. Unlike, say, Bondi.
