This whole thing is a nothing burger. NYT, Politico and various media outlets reporting on this "controversy" which we're supposed to care about.

Pathetic!

🥱🥱🥱🥱

I don't see a lot wrong. A disgruntled aide? Something about an app he used?

suggesting Hegseth’s departure is all but inevitable

This is their goal.

Wishful thinking, not going to happen.

A house cleaning of a giant entrenched bureaucracy is going to cause a lot of chaos and fight back.

They fear him as darkness fears the light.

If he were incompetent, they would want him left in place so the Bolshevik trannies, grannies and capons could continue the Department wide bubble parties.

the neoCONs sure are desperate to remove him. Probably because he didn’t want to start ww3 with Iran and Russia.

It’s the Deep State attempts to remove him before he finds any damaging evidence that might lead to charges of treason.

The RATS are going to be happy until they get Hegseth. The far left maggots want another head on their wall. The only thing the far left insurrectionists have left is fearmongering, “resistance” and “obstructionism.”

Chaos is not a bug - it's a feature.

We don't want a smooth-running, steady-as-she-goes bureaucracy (DOD) anywhere in government.

In boot camps they take a self-centered, smug, soft individual, tear them down and then build them back as an American Fighting Man; team-centered, confident and strong.

THAT'S what needs to happen to the DOD. All of it.

Still repeating the lie after The Atlantic published what they had and it was nothing

Trump is not either Bush. He does not care what the DNC lie machine is screaming about today

Hegseth is clearly struggling, but there is no good reason for this clown to go public like this. Even if all that he claims is true, he is only inflicting damage on the Admin by his blabbering. So what was he doing in his position to start with? Who vetted him or was he a holdover (either is bad).

What we need is a REALleader in DoD. Does anybody have the phone number of that she-he “admiral” from Brandon’s administration???
SARC OFF (if necessary)

It’s supposed to be a secure line and Hillary and Obama used it...so why is it controversial for him to use it.

Ullyot’s exposé, witten less than 48 hours after he left his job as the Pentagon’s top spokesperson

Sounds like someone who couldn't serve his boss sniffing around for grift.

Of course there is chaos and turmoil in the Pentagon. There should be. The place needs to be nuked, 80% of the land sold off and a properly sized modernized defense HQs built from the ground up on the remaining ground or maybe move it to Kansas, or, sincce we are doing a China Pivot, point Loma.

Ullyot is a longtime Trump guy (but we know how that can mean nothing), but also a Harvard grad intel guy.

Even if what he claims is all so about Hegseth, he is harming Trump by chirping like this.

This is just Russiagate all over. Tons of anonymous accusations from “insiders”, all of which will prove to false. Same old playbook.

John Ulllyot wanted the Pentagon spokesman spot that Sean Parnell was given.

Now he’s gone and spilling the tea...good move by Hegseth.

The desperation by the left smells big time- they are grasping desperately at straws, hoping to create a crisis where none exists because they don’t have anything legitimate to gripe about. They just end up looking pathetic. Polutico apparently doesn’t mind looking pathetic and desperate

I’ll stick with my theory that Hegseth is SMOKING OUT the bastards that are trying to undercut him. It is not credible to believe that Hegseth would make the same mistake as Waltz made (assuming it was a mistake), so more is going on than we’re told.

I believe the Demoncrats would rather cause this Republic to die in violence believing the people would then proclaim them the victors and sweep them from the dust into eternal control forever.
