Firings…..
Resignations….
Signal Chat…..
Quiet ‘I TOLD ya so’s’…..
The Pentagon on Friday fired top staffers — senior adviser Dan Caldwell, deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy Defense secretary. Joe Kasper, Hegseth’s chief of staff will also leave his role in the coming days for a new position at the agency, according to a senior administration official.
POLITICO was the first to report the firings and Kasper’s move, which one defense official ascribed to personality clashes between the chief of staff and the other men.
“Hegseth is now presiding over a strange and baffling purge” that has left him without senior advisers, Ullyot wrote. “More firings may be coming, according to rumors in the building.”
The three fired staff backed up some of Ullyot’s claims in a Saturday post on X, saying they didn’t know why they were terminated. The trio wrote that they “have not been told what exactly we were investigated for, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of ‘leaks’ to begin with.”
They charged that “unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our way out the door.” They expressed support for the “Trump-Vance Administration’s mission to make the Pentagon great again,” but did not mention Hegseth, with whom they’d worked closely…
…
The New York Times reported Sunday that Hegseth allegedly set up a Signal chat with his wife, a former Fox News producer, and his lawyer, in which he disclosed potentially classified information on upcoming airstrikes against the Houtis.
“It’s hard to see Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth remaining in his position for much longer,” he wrote….
Hmmmmmm?
The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Pete Hegseth It would appear IS a Goner….
As has happened in the Past (Gaetz etc.)
Donald pledges support until the water get TOOOO HOT….
There ARE bound to be more mess-ups to be revealed about a guy the Republicans in the Senate should have NEVER havve confirmed….
The Military does NOT want or like the guy…
He got rid the very people who could keep him out of trouble…
Trump like misfits….
But this one has the nuclear codes traveling with him….
Group boosting Hegseth goes quiet
…The group’s relative quiet reflects a larger conundrum surrounding Hegseth within the GOP, as some Republicans on Capitol Hill — while unwilling to denounce Hegseth publicly — are privately growing increasingly concerned. That’s despite President Donald Trump and many in the GOP rallying to Hegseth’s defense.
Pentagon names new senior staff amid building turmoil
The Pentagon on Friday announced four new senior advisers for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following front office infighting that saw the exodus of five senior staff in the past several weeks.
The new advisers include Col. Ricky Buria, a former junior military assistant, Patrick Weaver, a former Defense Department “special assistant,” and Justin Fulcher, a top DOGE official placed at the Pentagon.
