In new reporting, Pete Hegseth ordered another missile be launched to kill 2 human beings clinging to a fishing boat in the Caribbean to reportedly finish the job and leave no survivors, none of which is shown in the redacted video released to the public, and is inconsistent with what the Pentagon told Congress happened and the need for the second missile. Popok explains that while Trump may have bullet proof immunity courtesy of the Supreme Court, that does not protect Hegseth and others who instead are clinging to a pretty slim internal legal memo that none one else believes is sound.
