It’s not happenstance that this fake news manifests right after Pete starts kicking azzes out of the Pentagon.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

Watch Tucker’s latest episode.

Hegseth and his core group are anti-regime change wars. There are many on the inside who are highly offended by that point of view.

Karoline said it perfectly-

“This is what happens when the ENTIRE Pentagon is working against you and against the MONUMENTAL change that you are trying to implement.”

If he wasn’t doing his job, they wouldn’t care.
Notice how they say nothing about Bondi or Patel

FOX won’t cover this but Newsmax/Greg Kelly has: CISA recommended government senior staff to use Signal for the verty type of comms Hegseth is doing.

As I advised V_TWIN, go watch Tucker’s interview with Dan Caldwell. He could expand on it better than I could.

Judge Boasberg has all of Hegseth’s Signal chats around the Yemen attack, so Hegseth needs to be careful here.

“It’s not happenstance that this fake news manifests right after Pete starts kicking azzes out of the Pentagon.”

Exactly.

If you haven’t watched it, you should.

Caldwell still supports Hegseth. He seems to be personally hurt by what happened but it is clear that he thinks Hegseth was forced into it by the same people who are currently leaking and trying to oust Hegseth as well.

I didn’t see his interview on CNN. Who was he complaining about?

He has been friends with Hegseth for years and I think he feels that there are a lot of bad people in the DoD who are setting him up to fail.

Everything he said on Tucker about Trump, the administration, Hegseth, the Joint chiefs of staff, the heads of the services, etc.... was very positive. He called out a few people by name but I can’t remember who.

He said that overall there is too much politics, corruption and outside influences in the DoD.
