Reportedly, Hegseth’s broker tried to invest in weapons just before the war. Not exactly the morally upright conduct of someone who believes this is Armageddon. Where are the misprision warrants from IL, CA, VT, VA, RI, and DE? Since when do our public servants need brokers when half a million US households lack running water? And where are dirty Dems in all of this?

The Financial Times assures on Tuesday that a wealth management advisor from Pete Hegseth tried to invest for him in defence companies, just before the U.S. and Israel launched the war in the Middle East.” https://www.rfi.fr/fr/amériques/20260331-états-unis-le-chef-du-pentagone-pete-hegseth-a-t-il-tenté-de-commettre-un-délit-d-initié
