With #kristinoem (gnome) rightfully under fire in congress for her lies and gross incompetence -- this finding from the day before may have been missed-- she has been obstructing the work of the #InspectorGeneral-- included impeding criminal case(s). NICE! #IMPEACH www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

There’s much troubling news, but one move by DHS stopped me in my tracks. Threats to shut down audits & investigations by its IG are a shot across the bow to inspector general independence. youtu.be/-Opug8MWQxg

As someone who spent decades investigating misconduct and safeguarding the integrity of government operations, I find the Signalgate report troubling and heartening. Here is my full statement: www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/s...

#PeteHegseth TRIES to twist the narrative after a CRUSHING report by the #DefenseDepartment #InspectorGeneral reveals Hegseth violated military regulations and put troops in danger through his CARELESS chat. #JordanUhl and #BrettErlich break it down on #TheDamageReport.

Hegseth’s written answers to the #Pentagon #InspectorGeneral made 3 points, the report said.
1) #Hegseth acknowledged that he had received information about upcoming war plans on March 14 from #US #CENTCOM.
2) he asserted that as #defense secy “he has authority to decide whether information […]
That meant the #InspectorGeneral had to rely in part on a transcript of those messages published by #TheAtlantic magazine. The second major obstacle was Hegseth’s refusal to be interviewed in person. Instead, #Hegseth submitted a written response to questions in July, months after the incident […]
The report went on to say that the next day #Hegseth sent some of that #classified operational information from his PERSONAL CELLPHONE to the #Signal chat group.
The #InspectorGeneral’s evaluation of #Defense Secy Pete Hegseth’s actions on March 15 were complicated by at least 2 factors. First […]
The #Pentagon’s acting #InspectorGeneral found that the head of #US #CENTCOM, which oversaw the impending strikes into #Yemen, sent a secure message to #Hegseth & the acting chair of the #JointChiefs at roughly 9PM on March 14, approximately 17hrs before the op began, containing info about the […]
The #Pentagon’s #InspectorGeneral’s report into #PeteHegseth’s use of the #Signal app to share details of upcoming #airstrikes into #Yemen on March 15 found the #defense secy “sent a message containing operational information” to a group chat which included 19 people, including #JeffreyGoldberg […]
The #Defense Dept’s #InspectorGeneral released a long-awaited report Thursday morning about Secy #PeteHegseth’s disclosure of plans for airstrikes in #Yemen on a #Signal chat group. The office simultaneously released a second report on “the use of unclassified networks & non–#DoD-controlled […]

#Hegseth refused to sit for an interview with the #InspectorGeneral & submitted “his version of events” in writing, sources told CNN.
The #IG’s findings are memorialized in a broader report produced after its months-long investigation into Hegseth’s use of #Signal.
The report states that […]
In @thehill.com, I explain why the Senate must reject Bell’s nomination for HHS Inspector General. He pledged to support the President’s agenda: shocking & disqualifying.
IGs must be INDEPENDENT watchdogs, not lapdogs.
