that there was a second, very deliberate attack, which is murder under US law.

And then Trump threw Hegseth under the bus by saying "I wouldn't have wanted a second attack." This is a clear indication that Trump cannot stop the COngress from hitting this hard, so Trump is sacrificing Hegseth.

A person doesn't have to be Nostradamus to have seen this coming. Trump has never taken responsibility for a single thing his entire life. I doubt that Trump had to give Hegseth any specific orders of "no survivors. That would have been understood implicitly. So Hegseth is screwed -- let us hope it ruins him for good.
