Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said there was no break in the chain of command when he was hospitalized in January. He admitted to the House panel on Thursday it was actually his aides who made a decision to transfer his authorities to his deputy. He then blamed those same aides for not telling for not telling the president about his hospitalization.
Trust me on this one folks, if decisions are being made by the aids then there MUST have been a break in the chain of command.
Is there a more contemptible way to toss an aide under a bus than in front of a House oversight committee?
OBTW, here is a question that begs to be asked: ‘Who is running the show in that great circus performing aside the Potomac?’ The aides?
