Thank you Mr. President.

Like you, we will never back down

Yeah, it's nice that he recognises these character flaws. Neither man can ever back down. Hegseth has nailed his colours to Trump, and will never back down. Trump... will throw Hegseth under the bus then re-write reality in his own mind so he never has to back down from believing that he is right about everything.

Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.

Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).

The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.

This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

And at the end of it all, if impeachment does happen, doesn't Trump just pardon Hegseth?

Is a normal and sane world, no pardon allowed:

"The president cannot issue pardons in cases of impeachment, meaning the pardon power does not extend to preventing or affecting impeachment proceedings. This limitation ensures that the president cannot shield themselves or others from congressional accountability related to impeachment."

Well, one of their tools would be something like a resolution to enforce the War Powers Act, but that's not a very useful tool if the Executive is just going to ignore it. What does that leave? I don't know why it should be necessary to point this out to someone who should already know it, but one of the other tools they have available is actually...impeachment.

The problem is not what tools the congress has, it is whom it uses it against.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.
With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached.
Congress, stand up for Pete!!!

First we would have to actually lose the war, that is, the war which has set back the Islamist regime's nuclear ambitions by 2–3 years and economically strangled the regime by reducing its oil exports to 0 through the Strait of Hormuz and overall to 10% of prewar levels, a number which will soon be further diminished by U.S. Task Force Iron Gate. Meanwhile, oil exports from the Gulf are back to 98% of prewar levels.
