Jeffrey Goldberg: There Have Been No Consequences for Hegseth on Signalgate

GOLDBERG: “Well, what I've learned or what really anyone could observe, and this goes into the category of shocking but not surprising, is that Pete Hegseth in particular, the secretary of Defense, who obviously styles himself as the secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who placed in the chat information that anyone with the common sense could see was highly secret, highly sensitive information, that he never suffered any consequences from doing this. And what I point out, and this is sort of the main argument of my piece, is that Pete Hegseth is in charge of an institution of about 3 million people, civilian and uniform. They all have to follow rules around everything, but including information, classified information, secret information, sensitive information. If anyone else had done what he had done, they would have been court-martialed or fired or disciplined in some manner or form. But in this case, there have been no consequences whatsoever.”
