I had a really hard time understanding this story but the bottom line seems to be that the Pentagon and White House are full of incompetent bozos who may or may not be using illegal NSA wiretaps on each other and may or may not be lying about it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... - ThreadSky

Using recourses to find Kompromat on your colleagues… wow!

Yes and Yes

That's what happens when you're having to constantly look over your shoulder and sleep with one eye open!

All of a sudden the White House is worried about a lack of experience?

iamanathemadevice.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm glad it wasn't just me having trouble understanding this crap!

walterwrona.bsky.social•4 days ago

I did not expect to see that they were using illegal wiretaps on EACH OTHER. But honestly it makes sense in this administration.

This tidbit: "[Parlatore] Commissioned by Hegseth as a commander in the navy reserve . . . "

Everyone is Nixon-ing?

jestastrophy.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think you understand it just fine.

traceyryniec.bsky.social•4 days ago

You can't use NSA wiretaps on American citizens.

francescadiasio.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think they’ve made it pretty clear that they can do whatever they want to. It’s not like pam blondi is gonna stop them.

barbarajustbarb.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think that's a good wrap up summary. :-)

The leak is the lawyer is peak Hegseth chaos.

helenkennedy.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm trying to at least glean some entertainment out of these people

lizerenity.bsky.social•4 days ago

Lol!!

I read this and thought 'oh, do they care about laws now? why this law? just for each other?'

Trump Disaster. Fire Whiskey Leaks Hegseth. #TrumpFailure

lauraweatherspoon.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s a murky situation made even murkier by poor writing. Parlatore seems to be in the middle telling different people, different lies. Great job picking staff, Hegseth. 🤦🏻‍♀️

mistykitty3.bsky.social•3 days ago

Anything involving Parlatore has always been a lying clusterf**k.

jasonpaul.bsky.social•3 days ago

They should all carry loaded pistols around each other at all times.

pmartin666.bsky.social•3 days ago

TBF you can be sure that all the parties involved are lying about it.

itstheconstupid.bsky.social•3 days ago

That may or may not be true

smwoodruff.bsky.social•4 days ago

😂😂😂 thanks for the monarch notes!

mistykitty3.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hugo Lowell, though...
I can't believe I read this nonsense...

iamanathemadevice.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lowell is careful not to say *he* believes this. It's just what's being said to him.

helenkennedy.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was much clearer, thanks.

The story is hard to understand, and the unnamed sources are hard to keep track of. Unnamed sources, people familiar, people familiar with the matter, unnamed Pentagon officials…
