Navy secretary ‘fired’ for proposing ‘secret agreement’ with White House in SEAL case

In an extraordinary move, the Pentagon chief "fired" the Navy secretary for going outside his chain of command by proposing a "secret agreement with the White House," according to a senior defense official. The agreement that led to Defense Secretary Mark Esper forcing Navy Secretary Richard Spencer's resignation involved the case of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher.

    1. @Eric Ryan You accused him of being hate filled yet you just displayed nothing but hatred in your message. Dems couldn’t be any more stupid than this..

    2. @Donald Trump Trump is at best a middling businessman, more like a string of failures held together by loans, but he is completely unqualified, though he may be authorized, to run our country. We’ll see how and when we can start fixing the tremendous damage he’s done by his sheer ineptness, much less his corrupt intentions at every turn. You guys all think cuz the stock market went up and you got a short term tax break that he’s a friggin god. The only thing I can say us that you are even dumber than he is.

    1. @Nullion Chinzako I guess if anything you say is right, he’ll be impeached within the month, right? Or before his next term?

      I mean, it’d be bad if you were being brainwashed by fake news and believed he was going to be impeached for the last 3+ years of your life, wouldn’t it? That’d be crazy.

    2. Even if he is impeached in the House, the Senate won’t convict him. He’ll win re-election in 2020. Prepare for 4 more years.

    3. @Southern Fun Says the dumptruck that believes any day now there will be a ‘mass arrest’ of the ‘ebil leffis’. I don’t think impeachment not happening means what you think it means. I understand conservatives think in very simplistic, often too simplistic, of terms and abhor facts and research – but he has done impeachable things; multiple in fact.

      I know you love him, think he is your god or whatever reincarnated, but he has demonstrably used charities as fronts to fund his campaign, he has demonstrably asked foreign powers to help him stay in power in the US and to investigate his enemies, and many more.

    4. @Southern Fun The house is already moving on to the vote. Expect it before January, if not December.

      Nobody believed he was /about/ to be impeached for the past 3 years, because nobody was conducting any impeachment hearings.

      Now? When the evidence is so damning, and when there’s actual impeachment hearings going on? Yeah, I can say we, the majority of the nation who believe he should be removed from office, are quite confident he’ll be impeached.

    5. @Nullion Chinzako Evidence is so damning….you must exclusively watch CNN. Support for impeachment has been plummeting since it became public. Conjecture isn’t evidence. The republicans can use this to call some of their own witness’s though. Would be worth it just to have Schiff, Hunter, Caiamella ect to have to testify. All of those ambassadors thought it was inappropriate but none of them accused the president of or claimed to have any evidence of bribery. They will impeach him on obstruction and maybe contempt of congress. They will frame it around bribery. This will go nowhere and keep most of your presidential nominees in Washington.

    1. Ok Trump was nice enough to back this Chief, not one soul from his chain did. Shame on the chief’s mess, it took the President to come all the way down almost to the lowest level of the chain to save him. It’s unusual but Trump has my vote. He did more for the military than the previous POTUS ever done

    1. And never forget this. To me these day are the saddest since my memories of the day JFK was shot. We have lost a president, in my view, if we impeach him, convict him, or not, or even if he stays in office.

    1. @Kyuss Qotsa Funny you mention others think they are on the high ground when you’re the one throwing insults and name calling. Irony.

    2. @Doom2exe
      Fake news is what you have been receiving and believing from that snake Schiff.
      Not one believable fact from him but you eat every idiotic word that comes out of his mouth.
      Look in the mirror, your the flat earth believer.

    1. @Richard Hunt Navy’s been beating Army more times than not. Much to my dad’s happiness 😀 I’ve had friends in every branch and a great Grandfather who was an Army Doctor in WW1 in the trenches. Seeing my Dad and Grandfather though in Navy Flight suits during WW2 and Vietnam, I bleed Navy(I grew up at NAS Pt. Mugu all through the 80’s).

    2. another DEEP STATE RAT in the MILITARY has been flushed out… GOOD RIDDANCE to that LIBTARD HOLDOVER NAVY SECRETARY… TRUMP WINS AGAIN.

    1. THAT’S WHY WE VOTE EVERY 4 YEARS, SO THAT WAY WE CAN ALWAYS GET RID OF FOOLS LIKE TRUMP IN THE NEXT ELECTION BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN BY HIDING FROM LIFE OR THE VOTING BALLOTS EITHER!!🇺🇸💯💪🆗✌😂😂😂

    2. @O SNOOPY SNOOP COLEMAN And what happens should they secure enough power from the police and military to ….well not leave?

  1. Space cadet Donnie bone spurs with many bought deferments knows what honour is or war crimes? Did he decide this while humping hookers or ogling his daughter wife?

    1. @Whispering Whiskers misuse of classified info? On a private server? You mean like Ivanka Trump did? Or Mike pence when he was governor? Oh yeah, it doesn’t matter now does it? Ivanka used her personal email and phone while handling classified gov information… The EXACT thing that t bag cried about during the election. Double standards much?

    2. @xcynicalreasonsx Secretary of State, deleting 33,000 emails, lying to the FBI, running a pay to play scheme through the Clinton Foundation… Try and keep up.

    3. @xcynicalreasonsx that’s not true. All her record were reviewed. Did you miss that part? No classified information.

    1. @H. G. Wells if Obama did what trump did and ignored a military decision you would call Obama a traitor to his country for his actions. The military personnel understand discipline as it’s the glue which keeps them together. They were for trump and now many feel insulted and may not support him in the future.

    1. @Cobra Commander I know you didn’t.. but you seem to dismiss the article because it appeared in a “left leaning” site. Anyway.. much nicer to engage with a real person with a profile. (Rather than name / empty page) Is there a source you find reliable.? If it said the Jav’s are kept away from the Donbas… you might reconsider. Who do you trust for news. Apparently, not Fox.

    2. @donofon101 I dont trust any news with talking about intentions of military weaponry. They can only assume. Yes , I’ve listened to Fox, as well as CNN, and other news sources. But it irks me when people “media” pretend to have a clue about military intentions and uses. They cant even get the definition of * what an automatic weapon is…lol Sorry, I follow my own analysis of intentions of military actions after reading from any news source. I will get random headlines and I’ll read it from anywhere.

    3. @Captain Teamwork THEY DON’T CALL CNN VIEWERS CULT MEMBERS OR FAKE NEWS OR SAY THAT THEY’RE LYIN’ ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR AZZ IS HERE TOO!! THAT WOULD BE LIKE ME WATCHIN’ FOX FAKE NEWS & THEN BITCHIN’ & COMPLAIN’ ABOUT HOW FAKE FOX NEWS IS, TO ME THAT’S BEIN’ DUMB AS F*CK & I PERSONALLY HATE *STUPIDITY BUT I 👀 SEE THAT IT’S KOOL WIT’ YOU HUH!!🆗✊😎💯💪✌😂😂😂*

    4. Overall, we rate Crooks and Liars strongly Left Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that almost always favor Liberal causes. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting due to reasonable sourcing and fact check record. However, due to the use of sensational headlines and loaded wording, as well as not strictly adhering to the consensus of science with GMO’s, we cannot rate them High for factual reporting.

      Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL@Cobra Commander

    1. @Eve Hawk Im serious, present me facts! I have a strong suspicion that progressives and most people on the left are under some weird kind of haze of misinformation. They spin everything, and the hypocrisy alone is so obvious to an outsider but they seem so blind to it. The discourse normally ends with them attacking my character and blaming Trump blindly.

    1. @Whispering Whiskers
      Why would I google to watch people crying?
      I’d rather watch “badass trumpsupporters” getting beat up by by “liberal pussies”and hiding behind the cops!

    2. @Marshal Giggleman you have no idea what your talking about. Our military are not racists and I believe more of the military support Trump than dont. Did you serve in the military at all? Where are you getting your information from or are you one of those liberal left wing idiots that never served in the military but yet believes everything your spoon fed from the liberal media? We are all one people and should stop the divisiveness that is separating us as Americans. We all want it to be better and we have to work together to get it done.

  2. This emboldens not only the murderer and those like him, but could also cause real serious problems to the military as a whole.
