One of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s leading advisers, Dan Caldwell, was escorted from the Pentagon on Tuesday after being identified during an investigation into leaks at the Department of Defense, a U.S. official told Reuters.
Caldwell was placed on administrative leave for “an unauthorized disclosure,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The decision has not been previously reported.
His importance was underscored in a leaked text chain on Signal disclosed by The Atlantic magazine last month. In it, Hegseth named Caldwell as the best staff point of contact for the National Security Council as it prepared for the launch of strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
Oh yeah that’s right, good point
They are already consuming themselves
We just need to hold strong
No they’re not, these are just scapegoats. This is functioning as intended.
Sort of true.
But each scapegoat was a formerly complicit co-conspirator.
When they discard one that’s attrition
We went through this the last time.
These were the Best and Brightest. What comes next are the people dumb enough to get on the backstabbing conveyor belt.
Ah, the scapegoat’s head is revealed and suitably position for sacrifice…
🙄 🤡 🖕
He should be fine, I heard that wasn’t a classified convo.
It was a perfect conversation
