Built -in truths do not remain unpunished in the Trump administration.
It is a lesson that Lieutenant-General Jeffrey Kruse learned of the hard on Friday, as THE Washington Post said he had been dismissed from his post as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency by the defense secretary Pete Hegseth.
DIA under Kruse was responsible for the classified preliminary report on the American strike in June on Iran, which gave President Donald Trump a lot of grief once he fled to the press, because he painted an image very different from the attack than his administration.
Although the report expressly recognized its preliminary nature, its conclusions – that the strike has set up the alleged nuclear program of Iran only a few months, at most – deposited a shock absorber on the insistence of Hegseth and Trump so that they had completely decimated their targets. The president had described the attack on “one of the most successful military strikes in history”, comparable to the atomic attacks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Hegseth has ax kruse for “loss of confidence”, according to the Job.
Eviction is only the latest example of the Trump administration which draws the messenger. After the Bureau of Labor Statistics published a disturbing report of July jobs, the president licensee BLS chief Erika MCENTARFER, nominating in his place a party of Maga who has just had been at the Capitol January 6, 2021.
