“The general feeling is Pete hasn’t been honest,” …what? His behavior fits in line with many people in the future administration, including aligning with Trump’s actions and rhetoric. Are they gaslighting themselves?

We were under the impression that he had commanded a national military before, as we had seen him in the TV.

Unless I am reading it wrong, the article mainly focuses on the fact he is denying the sexual assault allegation. From what I have seen, it was clear he had no management or command experience in the military. Was he on TV saying otherwise?

My guess is that the people making these statements are part of the “adults in the room” who are in denial about what kind of operation they’re part of. I think they’re likely to be overruled and the guy is likely to stay.

Dishonesty to the dear leader is a major sin. Remember, that’s what Flynn was fired for, not that a national security adviser was talking to agents of our adversary.
