The Intelligent game plan going forward on Hegseth impeachment

‘Let the nation hear what he has to say': Ret. U.S. Army Lt. General says Hegseth should testify

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZUD77tsDfE]

The House narrowly averted an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with 11 Democrats missing the vote. Meanwhile, some Democrats are calling for new leadership in the next Congress.

Retired U.S. Army Lt. General Mark Hertling, New York Times White House Correspondent Luke Broadwater, Puck Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell and former Senior Biden Advisor John McCarthy join Stephanie Ruhle to share their thoughts.

My comments:

General Hertling is absolutely correct. It is imperative that Hegseth face a full Impeachment and questioning under oath regarding how Hegseth’s incompetence, lack of values, discrimination, dishonesty, and imposing his own heretical version of an obscure “Christian” cult have been detrimental to our Service members and degraded each branch of our military. His purging of Senior officers, technical experts, JAGs, IGs, ADCs, military judges; his unlawful re-writes of regulations, his ignorance of logistics & war planning…

In summary: Hegseth lacks all of the skills and knowledge for the Office of Secretary of Defense. His substance abuse issues should have disqualified him from Day One; as should his violations of Operational Security which unnecessarily placed our troops in grave danger.

It is imperative that the House and Senate impeach, remove, and prosecute him.

@Dillon7128 Illegal orders are illegal orders: the Oath is to the Constitution, not the Commander-in-Chief. I will grant you that the Massie impeachment articles would have been challenging to win for the reasons you stated, and is why a number of House members -- from both parties -- either avoided voting or voted no. But the devil is in the details, and there is a lot of stuff he did that were not specific directives from Trump in his grand redesign of the Department of Defense into his self-named Department of War. And uniformed senior officers have been safeguarding all the paperwork for those hearings when they are held.

He really needs to go. I hope the next Congress does whatever it takes to get him out the door.

BTW, trump is threatening Democrats with criminal investigations for aggressive oversight. Can you believe it? FFS that's their duty under the Constitution

Zero chance of that happening. You cant impeach a cabinet secretary for following the orders of the president. People are just silly
@Dillon7128 Before you write such nonsense you might want to familiarize yourself with a document called The Constitution!
