They want Hegseth gone. There's likely people in the White House looking for a replacement.

Someone hasn't learned anything...

Hegseth had an unsecured internet line set up in his office to connect to Signal, AP sources say

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer.

Hegseth had an unsecured internet line set up in his office to connect to Signal, AP sources say

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, two people familiar with the line told The Associated Press.

The existence of the unsecured internet connection is the latest revelation about Hegseth’s use of the unclassified app and raises the possibility that sensitive defense information could have been put at risk of potential hacking or surveillance.

Known as a “dirty” internet line by the IT industry, it connects directly to the public internet where the user’s information and the websites accessed do not have the same security filters or protocols that the Pentagon’s secured connections maintain.

And the heat continues to be turned up on Pete Hegseth. Tick tock tick tock.

"I’ll hook you to a f**king polygraph!": Hegseth's paranoia bubbles over as Pentagon leaks continue
A new report from the Wall Street Journal shows Pete Hegseth lashing out as the walls are closing in

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's time at the helm of the largest executive department has been anything but smooth sailing. Plagued with leaks and buffeted by scandals, this "infidel" Ahab has become anxious, ornery and isolated as President Donald Trump's second term enters its third month.

A new report from the Wall Street Journal shows that Hegseth is starting to see elusive leakers in his nightmares. According to the outlet, Hegseth threatened top officials with lie-detector tests to root out media sources on recent embarrassing stories.

Shortly after word broke last month that the Pentagon might brief Elon Musk on secret war plans in China, Hegseth exploded at the then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Christopher Grady.

“I’ll hook you up to a f**king polygraph!” Hegseth reportedly yelled at Grady, per two unnamed sources who spoke with the outlet.

Pam Bondi spends a significant amount of her work day doing interviews on right wing media blathering on about what a great job she's doing. Sean Duffy is way in over his head.

Meanwhile...

This is the kind of stuff that happens when you cut staff and use patronage hires.

 

[rareboy]

Bondi ought to be disbarred. As well as fired.

I would almost lay bets that she will either end up behind bars or have her license revoked at some point.

I suspect that if Democrats take the House or Senate in 2026, Bondi's appearances on Fox will drop off and she will be spending more and more time in front of the Judiciary Committees explaining why she should not be removed.

If she persecutes political enemies, I can see her being impeached. And a smart set of Democrats would approve a centrist Republican to replace her when removed.

While ICE Barbie is still doing little glam videos, her hired henchmen are trashing innocent people's homes. These people doing "ICE Raids" are not wearing IDs and they refuse to provide any identification. These may be private contractors from someone like Academi (formerly Blackwater).

In this instance, the family had just rented a home in Oklahoma City. In the dark of the night, someone claiming to be ICE agents forced their way into their home, took their cash, their phones, their computers and other personal items. The names on their paperwork did not match the names of the people living in the home. The people living in the home were US Citizens. Their home has been trashed and their personal property has not been returned.

Mom Says ICE Agents Humiliated Her Family in Mistaken Raid

A mother alleged ICE forced her and her daughters to stand outside in the rain in their underwear during a raid targeting the wrong family.

A woman says Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and other federal agents raided her Oklahoma City home and forced her family to stand outside in the rain in their underwear. The woman, referred to as “Marisa” KFOR, had moved with her three daughters from Maryland just two weeks earlier. On Thursday morning, around 20 armed men allegedly stormed their home, identifying themselves as federal immigration agents, and ordered family outside before they could get dressed. “They wanted me to change in front of all of them, in between all of them,” Marisa told KFOR. “You have her out there, a minor, in her underwear.” Marisa said the search warrant did not include her family’s names and appeared to be for the home’s previous residents. “We just moved here from Maryland. We’re citizens. That’s what I kept saying.

A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were not the suspects the agents were looking for.

The agents had a search warrant for the home, but the suspects listed on the warrant do not live in the house.

The woman who actually lives in the house had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her family about two weeks earlier.

Scapegoat.

Here's the big game.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth created another Signal messaging chat that included his wife and brother where he shared similar details of a March military airstrike against Yemen’s Houthi militants that were sent in another chain with top Trump administration leaders, The New York Times reported...

Way to build loyalty Pete. It won't work anyway. Even if this doesn't tank him, Toad will get around to firing him anyway.

Figured he would be one of those sacrificed.

Based upon the way that these political plots work, the problem might have gone away if Waltz were the one fired immediately after the Goldberg story came out.

Instead, Trump and KKKaroline Leavitt dug in, tried to counterattack and cover it up.

In the meantime, Hegseth fired several key aides who knew where the bodies were buried. He got caught leaking top secret operational battle plans on a second Signal chat. He took several stupid actions and made a lot of enemies at the Pentagon. Those enemies are leaking to the press and they are talking to members of Congress.

Firing Walz is not going to stop the campaign to get rid of Hegseth. Hegseth is not competent and there's too much at stake.

Dice are rolling... the knives are out...

When all is said and done...never, ever, ever, forget that this monster directed the TrumpCo. agenda.

And deserve the same ending as many of the Nuremburg defendants at this point.

Seems that Waltz is to be made US Ambassador to the UN as some sort of consolation prize.
