News over the weekend that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s wife Jennifer was included in a second group chat where he shared sensitive military operations details has focused attention on the prominent role she has occupied at the Pentagon without being formally employed during her husband’s short tenure running the US military.

Interesting there was no scrutiny of Jill Biden literally running the show for her senile husband, while here today CNN is concerned about unsubstantiated rumors Petes wife somehow having a role at the Pentagon.

Only media who had the courage to “concern” themselves with Jill Bidens influence have the right or credibility to report on any of this. Sorry CNN , thats not you.

The communist news network doing what the communist news network does best - lie, spin and perpetuate democrat talking points as “news”.

I’m worried more over Susan Rice being part of the DoD for the Trump administration.

“shared sensitive military operations details”

Sec. Hegseth said that was not what was being discussed.

Who do you believe, Hegseth or CNN?

I’d believe some random person walking down the street before I’d believe anything CNN says.

Exactly, if she included Joe on any of her emails who knows what he would have done with the info, sell it to the Chinese and have Hunter pick up a check.

I really like Pete Hegseth but I was shocked at the qualifications of the guys he put in charge as his top team at the Pentagon.

These guys primary creds seem to have been that they were his bros and buds at his Veterans outreach non profit organization.

These guys were totally unqualified to be the guys at the top who are going to transform and reform the Pentagon into 21st Century fighting force.

I still think Hegseth is a stellar choice for the job, but he really needs to get a hard core, hard nosed group of leadership like the rest of the cabinet members seem to be doing.

Not to mention “The Big Guy” getting his son a “do nothing” job at a “Ukrainian Oil Company”...the hypocrisy runs deep with the media.

The MIC wants Hegseth gone because he refuses to feed the "War Machine".

I would expect most wives have significant roles in their husband’s profession. Unless she is throwing her “weight” around to get stuff she shouldn’t be getting…I don’t care.

---------------------

The war machine (ie the Military Industrial Complex ) is a formidable adversary that has had 70 years build it's pervasive power base.

Hegseth is going up against some really smart warriors and he is going to need the A Team to take them on and win.

The guys who got walked out of the Pentagon are not even qualified to shine the boots of the A Team that Hegseth should be putting in place
