GOP senators to join Democrats in investigating Pete Hegseth 'kill everybody' allegations

[Dulcinea]

(The Independent) Senators from both sides of the political aisle will join forces to investigate allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered there to be no survivors in U.S. airstrikes on alleged drug-running boats.

GOP Senator Roger Wicker, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Democratic Senator Jack Reed announced the decision in a joint statement Saturday.

"The Committee is aware of recent news reports and the Department of Defense’s initial response — regarding alleged follow-on strikes on suspected narcotics vessels in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” the statement read.

“The Committee has directed inquiries to the Department, and we will be conducting vigorous oversight to determine the facts related to these circumstances.”

Hegseth is going to be facing some things.

2. He's been a fuck up from day one. Why did he have to go all the way to being caught in murder and breaking ...

... National and international laws to finally get a serious looking into?

3. "will be conducting vigorous oversight". Right, I'll believe that when I see it

6. There will be vigorous Pearl clutching by wicker

Who will emphasize the gravity of the nature of the incidents. No boat will be unturned. No reasonable conservative explanation ignored at the end of the day.

8. Unfortunately, we have no dedicated journalists left to work on this

This really cries out for investigative journalism

4. Well, this investigation seems bipartisan.

Well see if they actually do anything or it becomes nothing to see here as things get swept under the rug.

5. Nothing is going to happen with Republicans in control.

A Democratic House would at least discover the truth but nothing will come of it, as we saw with the J6 investigation.

7. We have ample evidence, can he be convicted of being a _______ douche?
