Bi-partisan criticism of Pete Hegseth grows, after Defense Secretary engulfed in another scandal
MSNBC· 2025-12-03 23:35
In this sense, it looks to me like they're trying to pin the blame on somebody else and not them. There's a very distinct statement was said on Sunday. Secretary Hex says he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day from the podium at the White House, they're saying it did happen.

Legal Concerns Regarding Military Strikes - The report raises serious legal questions about potential war crimes related to a second strike on survivors, even under the assumption of an armed conflict with drug cartels [1][2][3] - The legality of the strikes is questioned under the law of naval warfare and armed conflict, as survivors clinging to remnants of a boat are not considered an imminent threat and should receive protection [2][3] - The report highlights that such actions could violate customary international law incorporated into U S domestic law, potentially constituting murder [3] - The legality of potential land strikes is questioned, with concerns raised about whether they comply with the law of armed conflict regarding survivors who pose no threat [4][5] Evidence and Due Process - The report notes the lack of evidence supporting claims that the targeted boats were smuggling drugs related to the fentanyl crisis aimed at the U S [6][7][8] - The report emphasizes the importance of due process before engaging in deadly action, suggesting that interdiction and boarding of vessels should be prioritized over immediate deadly force [9][10] Congressional Oversight and Executive Power - The report underscores Congress's constitutional duty to oversee military actions and potentially declare war if the conflict becomes long-term and involved [5][11] - The report questions the consistency of the U S policy, citing the pardon of a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking while simultaneously striking boats allegedly involved in drug smuggling [11][12][13] Supreme Court and Tariff Regime - The report anticipates a Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's tariff regime, expecting a decision before the end of the year [15][16][17] - The report suggests the Supreme Court may apply the doctrine requiring an express delegation from Congress for executive actions with broad economic consequences, potentially leading to the tariffs being overturned [18][19]
