Right, but this is nothing new: Hegseth is only a recent example of Trump's camp mishandling sensitive docs; I'll bet there's been an inner secret Four Eyes group since the the Mar-a-Lago bathroom official-document-archive story dropped years ago.

What surprises me is that I expected Tulsi Gabbard to be the centre of mishandling allegations, not SecDef.

Maybe Tulsi is just staying out of the spotlight while Hegseth was hired to be in the spotlight.

Tulsi is a competent mole, she knows better than to be this obvious.

It would be gauche to attack Tulsi Gabbard, because you would have to start with her connections Russia's Assadist interests and to RT & the Russian web brigades, and we have established (we voted on it) that any connection to Russia is Old News and Not A Big Deal and Hillary's Dirty Tricks. But Hegseth? Hegseth leaked something to The Atlantic. A far greater threat than Russia.

The circus has only been in town for a few months. This thing is, as scandals go, an almost comically dumb scenario - even by Trump whack pack standards.

Tulsi is by all appearances more experienced in operating under the radar. That said, I’m sure she won’t disappoint.
