Democrats Are Going to Prosecute Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

[konradv]

What orders?

Kill them all.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

They did give it to the President. They made it up whole cloth just for Trump.

U R wrong
Look it up
Presidents, senators, congressmen and judges have immunity

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Boats with drugs that kill Americans. So why do you support drug dealers who fund terrorists?

You know this how?
Trump?
LOL.

And when did Mexico pay for the wall?
The beautiful health plan in the works for 10 years will be ready in two weeks.

You must be democrat. Are you upset because your delivery is delayed. Ask Hunter if he will lend you some of his drugs

Not a chance, drugs are freely coming in from Mexico, Columbia and Peru.
How convenient, THEY don't have the oil Venezuela has.

Trump stops drugs from coming in and democrats complain. Why? It makes them look like the failures they really are. Hell we had cocaine in the White House under Biden.

"Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all



As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.

The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.
A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.

The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack — the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.
Hegseth’s order, which has not been previously reported, adds another dimension to the campaign against suspected drug traffickers.AI Icon

Some current and former U.S. officials and law-of-war experts have said that the Pentagon’s lethal campaign — which has killed more than 80 people to date — is unlawful and may expose those most directly involved to future prosecution."

I have to laugh at the few fools on the Right who want Trump to stop prosecuting Democrats. Do they really think that will stop the Democrats from using lawfare?

When the Seditious Six asked military and CIA officers to mutiny against Trump's commands, I said the Dems really wanted leaks to the media. This is what the leaks become- media reports and eventually Democrat lawfare, threat, and prosecutions against Republicans and military officers. Remember the FBI used media stories that they had planted as evidence to go after Trump.

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

maduro aint a muslim....

Who said he is?

But he is a terrorist, and that's the point. Not what Maduro's religion might be.

OK
Then Obama should be put on trial for drone striking over 800 civilians.

Instead of focusing on building new ships with some sense of urgency, this is what we do.

Oh shit, shooting survivors is a war crime!!

And you're trying to compare that to tRump's revenge prosecutions?

You ain't right in the head, boy.

 

[my2¢]

What power is in the Democrats' hand to prosecute anybody?

It isn't like the attorney general of any state can lift a finger about the strikes, and that the only power held by Democrats in some states.

collateral damage isn't ususally considered a war crime. Shooting survivors is.

 

[kyzr]

This will be the thing to come. An outgoing POTUS will blanket pardon the entirety of his administration.
Biden started it of course (or whoever was running the auto pin at the time) but vengeance will dictate that it continues.
SCOTUS really needs to step in and limit pardons to those who have been convicted of a federal crime.
You can't have accountability if an administration can pardon itself for anything it does.

Actually the president's pardon power is in the US Constitution. So it would take an Amendment.

Trump videoed whores pissing on a bed that Obama slept in on a trip to Russia.

PROOF TRUMP AND PUTIN RIGGED 2016.

The PEE PEE TAPE IS REAL!! SWEAR!!

Kill them all.

Link to that "order" please.

I get that but the abuses of the Biden administration has to be addressed or the "fascism" that gets whined about so often may turn out to be a thing.

Why would an administration weenie care what they do if they know they will get a blanket pardon at end of term?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Sure, because in a story about people being straight-up murdered while clinging to wreckage in open water, something that violates the Geneva Conventions, international law, and basic human decency, the real problem, apparently, is that someone might be held accountable.

But yeah, that’s what it means to be MAGA now: calling it “lawfare” so the law can be broken at will.

Hegseth isn’t facing scrutiny because he’s a Republican. He’s facing scrutiny because he ordered an extrajudicial execution. If your position is that the U.S. can kill unarmed survivors in the ocean but somehow can’t handle basic legal scrutiny afterward, maybe the issue isn’t “lawfare”, maybe it’s that the actions can’t survive daylight.

Fortunately for Pete Hegseth, "two people with direct knowledge of the operation" cannot be called as witnesses. It would have to be real people, under oath, liable to be cross-examined and likely to have witnesses testify to a different set of facts, which could open them up to a charge of perjury.

But, it makes a kewl news story for people eager for any kind of anti-Trump "news" that the media puts out, not matter how unsupported.

I don’t see it in the constitution.

Nobody actually believes Hegseth, do they?

That's a better argument.

Can the USSC determine if Biden's pardons are legal, especially the autopen and the "preemptive" ones.

Trump has been so effective that the city where these drug boats come from and depend on drug sales for income have gone into a depression.
