    I can’t be the only one wondering at how no one in a closed-doors meeting was able to both contemplate the status of their own security clearance, or how it might be negatively affected by disclosing sensitive (albeit apparently not classified, secret, or top secret) information in the presence of someone who was not legally entitled to hear/see it? According to the source, there were foreign military officers there as well? How the fuck did not one of them stand up and demand that she get the fuck out of the fucking room?

    How is it possible for the Secretary of Defense to be so nose-blind to this level of bullshit, as though he thought that it was acceptable to bring his spouse along as some kind of adult “bring your kid to work day”? This isn’t “odd” or “strange”, it represents possible degradation and compromise of national security. Wait in the fucking lounge, Jennifer, Jesus Christ.

    Never mind the reasons – this is patently illegal and violates security clearances. Yet another reason, as if more were needed, to oust him and then prosecute him.

    So… america doesn’t have classified information anymore?

    If there are any CIA agents left that aren’t double agents, I understand, but protect yourself bros. I’d try MI6 maybe. Some one in europe ought to take you. Sorry.

    Probably drunk and needing his wife to translate for him. DUI hires routinely need these accommodations until their wives leave them.

    No no, we should be praising him. Clearly he needs a designated driver.

    “Additionally, Pete Hegseth’s brother Philip Hegseth has also tagged along on official visits, the report said.”

    She’s probably the brains of the couple. Helped him get To where he is today at Fox News and thought that that would apply to his government job.

    He’s probably insecure about what she’d be up to out of his sight. Insecurity motivates most of what these freaks do.
