More Of Trump’s “Feral Cunning”

Kelly: When Trump was driving the Taj Mahal Casino into bankruptcy, I was being shot at over Iraq…. When Trump was writing birthday greetings to Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts… When Trump was peddling conspiracy theories… pic.twitter.com/wRnJiTgL6e

Kelly: When Trump was driving the Taj Mahal Casino into bankruptcy, I was being shot at over Iraq…. When Trump was writing birthday greetings to Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts… When Trump was peddling conspiracy theories against President Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed… I’ve been through a lot worse in service to my country. The President and Pete Hegseth are not going to silence me.

Tapper: Well, they haven't released the legal justification for it. They said it's classified.

Kelly: I’ve read it. They should release it.

Tapper: Maybe it's not impressive…

Kelly: It's got problems. It's got a lot of holes in it. pic.twitter.com/4ekMJHVODi

No, he’s not a lawyer. Still, I take it as read.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

He is in the national command authority… pic.twitter.com/Gd4cywVRMI

He is in the national command authority for nuclear weapons and he’s putting out turtles with rpgs. This is not a serious person. He should’ve been fired after SignalGate. And then every single day after that.

Reporter: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order

Leavitt: The latter is true pic.twitter.com/UKiI5vcD29

REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

But Leavitt states in her follow-on that Hegseth "authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes." So her own account would sure seem to indicate that he is also responsible. https://t.co/RfydhCL1He

Trump normally:

Let me be clear: As Commander-in-Chief, I am totally responsible for this successful military action.

Hegseth normally:

Let me be clear: As Secretary of War, I ordered and directed this warrior-like military action.

Trump and Hegseth today:

We know nothing! pic.twitter.com/caVkLo55VL

Trump: Pete said it didn’t happen. He said he has nothing to do with that. I wouldn’t agree with that.

Leavitt: It happened. It was ordered by Admiral Bradley. But it was justified.

Hegseth: We stand by Bradley & the decision he made entirely on his own without our knowledge.

When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people and the world. Because a military that abandons its legal and ethical foundations does not protect a nation—it endangers it. A military that trades the Constitution for personal loyalty ceases to be American. And a military that fails to investigate serious allegations of unlawful conduct invites tragedy—strategic, moral, and human."

"Senior Leaders"?

" Mark Kelly and the group of Unpatriotic Politicians were WRONG to do what they did, and they know it! I hope the people looking at them are not duped into thinking that it’s OK to openly and freely get others to disobey the President of the United States!"

What happened to “sedition” and “death” and “hanging”? 

These are not serious people.

There you have it https://t.co/wgIlFtXijh
