****BREAKING NEWS**** Inspector General Finds Hegseth Risked Endangering Troops With Signal Messages

[DemocratSinceBirth]

For nearly nine months, Trump-administration officials have defended top national-security leaders who shared information in a Signal chat about U.S. strikes in Yemen, first reported by The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, who was inadvertently included in the group. Officials played down the severity of the breach and insisted that the information wasn’t classified.

Now the Pentagon’s top watchdog has concluded that the information Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared in the chat could have put the mission, U.S. personnel, and national security at risk had it fallen into the wrong hands. The information Hegseth shared included the precise times that fighter pilots would attack their targets. If Houthi militants had learned those details in advance, they might have been able to shoot down American planes or better defend their positions.

1. Generals, admirals, and other high-ranking officers must feel let down to toe the line to this drunken minor major.

[dem4decades]

2. I thought Trump fired all the Inspector Generals? This one is fired tomorrow.

[Ilsa]

9. Of course. And the IG's family will be threatened by

trumpgoons if he/she doesn't stay silent.

[dem4decades]

12. If only there was a DOJ that protected the people that enforce the law.

[groundloop]

21. That all depends on whose law is being enforced.

4. Inspector General bout to get fired

[Martin Eden]

23. Shouldn't it be Hegseth that gets fired?

In a sane world, that is.

[Torchlight]

5. I really do think either pete or kash (or both) will be gone by end of month

Between the two, they're sucking news time away from the boy who would be king. I don't think Mr. trump wants anyone other than himself to receive the lion's share of the center of media discussion, whether good or bad. trump sees airtime like currency, and to trump there are no bad dollars, only people who have more or less of it than he.

[malaise]

13. Yep

Rec

[GB_RN]

16. Yup...

That’s exactly why Eloon the Muskrat got shoved out. Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent does not share a spotlight with anyone.

[jaymac]

17. Yeah,

Don't bet the farm. All bets are off re: accountability with this crime cabal.

10. I'm sure he'll be fired. The Inspector General that is.

[leftstreet]

11. Didn't he get caught doing the same in July?

Pretty sure an Inspector General said the same thing back then

And yet, Hegseth is still here

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. This government excells at incompetence

[Gimpyknee]

19. Don't hold your breath if you think there will be any consequences for Hegseth.

[Clouds Passing]

20. Peat Kegsbreath: DUI Hire

And what’s going to be done about it?

Nothing, as usual.

The powerful are above the law, immune from being brought to justice.
