Fired Navy secretary Richard Spencer manages to remind us why Trump needed to get rid of him

AmericanThinker:

Fired Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer is not going away.

In a swiftly executed Washington Post op-ed less than a week after President Trump’s defense secretary had him fired, he’s now telling everyone how much smarter he is than President Trump and making it clear he never liked the guy anyway.

The case of Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher, a Navy SEAL who was charged with multiple war crimes before being convicted of a single lesser charge earlier this year, was troubling enough before things became even more troubling over the past few weeks. The trail of events that led to me being fired as secretary of the Navy is marked with lessons for me and for the nation.

Lessons for the nation? You mean the one about not defying the commander in chief, Richie? He’s all in for ranting about President Trump who technically didn’t even fire the man, the defense secretary is the one who did, and on the grounds that Spencer failed to observe the chain of command, something Spencer acknowledges only as an incidental way down in his op-ed.

But now it’s about Trump pardoning Gallagher, he says, and some kind of principaled stance against it on his end. Which is laughable.

  1. Maggots are maggots!
    That they behave like maggots shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    Pull off the cover of your septic tank – see what’s floating on top – take a deep breath.
    THAT’S what floats to the top in DC – same principle.
    Rotten gasses – rotten feces – rotten wastes – hair balls – puke – fetid pet fur – soap scum – that slimy snot-like stuff that comes out of cold water pipes.

  2. AbigailAdams,

    There sre still a few rotten weedplants in Make America Great committees and groups and websites and so on and on. These are Spies and Deceivers planted and cryptogrift funded by the other side to manipulate US from within. See Them. Spot Them.

    If the above causes you worry, don’t. Some of US know who some of Them are. That info is will be released when the Time is Right. For now, knowing that They know that They are known and the Future is coming should cause Them to sleep a little less since They now know They need to keep more than 1 Eye open at ALL Times, if you know what I mean.

  3. Thanks, Day and Night Watchers. I guess my comment was a little cryptic. What I meant by it is that because he was an obama hire, that’s all we really need to know.

    But it’s good to read that so many others are also well aware of the situation on the ground. 🙂

  4. Hr forgot who the Commander-in-chief was. When President Trump says jump, the wrong answer is not now. The correct response is “how high” on the way up, This fool committed employment suicide!

  5. This is butthurt Spenser’s way of “having the last word”. He figures he can diss the president in the anti Trump WaPo and pleasure himself while reading the “atta boy” and “we hate Trump” comments.

    He’s too arrogant and stupid to understand, Trump can fire the kill shot in 280 characters.

  6. I do understand the chain of command and the nature of behavior in the ranks. Should CPO Gallegher have posed with the terrorist? No, but I agree with his reinstatement with full honors.
    Should Admiral Spencer have been fired? Absolutely. I commend him for his service. I have heard multiple accounts of him being an honorable member of the SEAL teams, and I cannot fault him for that.
    Unfortunately, he became a bureaucrat. For that, I can fault him.
