You would be right to be skeptical of the Pentagon's new pocket press corps' characterization of the DOD IG's report on Pete Hegseth's Signalgate scandal. You can also read the report yourself at the DOD site here: media.defense.gov/2025/Dec/04/...

Yesterday’s Pentagon “press” briefing was obviously absurd, but it was emblematic of a larger truth:

For Team Trump, this was the platonic ideal of how journalism should work: conservative ideologues asking conservative questions to a conservative spokesperson. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
The simple reason the latest Pentagon ‘press’ briefing was so ridiculous

"It is a creepy obsession." Rep. Ilhan Omar responds to Trump's personal attacks. "It's actually very frightening to have that level of attention from somebody who should be focused on doing the business of the American people and not just creepily watching what one member of Congress is doing."

It turns out, when you mix the 2016 video of Pete Hegseth talking about troops not following unlawful orders with the recent Democratic PSA on the same subject, their message flows together pretty seamlessly.

Psaki: Pete Hegseth is "having the worst week of his career."

Psaki: "I know from experience that when the White House statement is any version of 'the president has confidence in,' or 'this cabinet member is a part of a great overall team,' ... it isn't typically a very good sign."
