Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

On this point ("why is Trump so terrified if damning evidence against him is not really there"), today I was listening to an old podcast concerning the Mueller report, and *ACTUALLY* -- apparently he was just as terrified when Mueller was appointed.
* Sigh* My mind is telling me that this must all be a big nothingburger. How can it be that these old file boxes have preserved undestroyed evidence of 25-year-old Trumpstein crimes, evidence which Bondi will dutifully reveal?
The ONLY thing on the other side is, WHY is he so fricking terrified??
