jakee 1,581 #1 Posted May 27 Yet more self inflicted wounds at the DOD as Hegseth's team try desperately to blame anyone but Hegseth for the three Hegseth appointed aids that they fired for supposedly leaking against Hegseth. It seems they may have accidentally admitted doing something way worse than leaking in order to justify firing the alleged leakers. The conversation seems to paraphrase to approximately this: White House: It's getting difficult to point to any evidence that these guys were the leakers, are you sure they did it? Hegseth's Lawyer: Oh yeah, definitely. We uh, hmm how did we find out, oh yeah we got the NSA to tap their phones! They totally discussed it on the messages we intercepted with a phone tap. WH: And this is the first we're hearing about it? You didn't tell us when you got the warrants and shit? HL: Warrants? We didn't get any warrants, we just told the NSA to do it. WH: Dude you can't just tap someone's phone without a warrant! That's really freakin' bad, we've got to sort this phone tap stuff out right now. HL: Phone taps? I didn't say anything about phone taps. Where did you get that from? Are you hearing things again? Trump advisers lose confidence in Pentagon leak investigation Hegseth used to justify firing three top aides At least we know that there's no question Hegseth was the best possible choice for SecDef because, well y'know, he's white.
