Reading the deposition he gave in Chicago you can understand why it is that Judge Ellis tore into him.
The first substantive question is "What is your role in Operation Midway Blitz?" Bovino essentially gives his title and no further details. 8 pages later, the lawyer gives up.

I'm shocked but somewhat pleased the mainstream media is going all Watergate on the Hegseth war crimes in the Caribbean. "Morning Joe" (yes, I know, don't @ me) has talked about little else for 2 hours
I'm not 100% convinced that this is the turning point but it might be, with Trump at just 36%

Basically Trump’s defense on the double strike boat murder is that it didn’t happen, but if it did it was all Hegseth.
