The problem I see with this Secretary of the Navy is that he was promising to put together a faked-up board, to get faked-up results, to meet the expectations of everyone involved. What kind of idiot goes and builds something like this?

Once the Secretary of Defense figured all of this out...what exit strategy was left? It’s an serious lack of character on the part of the fired Naval Secretary.

Definitely a CF. It sounds to me like the SECNAV didn't have the stones to tell RADM Green to swallow his pride and let it go. Green is a serious badass, and I'm sure he is both intimidating and persuasive, but a SECNAV's job involves telling Admirals to shut up and do what they're told. Setting up a fake board to allow an Admiral to save face was a very bad idea.

Though one might try to ascribe bad-apple characteristics to an individual like the Secretary of the Navy, one should not gloss over the possibility that there were skeletons buried that a wider circle of conspirators dearly needed to keep hidden to save themselves from the noose (as HRC admonished Brazile).

In 2013, as The Donald was considering whether he might make a run for the presidency, a preponderance of the evidence shows that US Navy PACFLT admirals (and SOCOM) were drawn into knowingly allowing the use of classified Navy gear (on loan to the CIA) to allow Barry to hide his election-fraud, a forged-LFBC-producing skeleton, some say with the aid of FVEY, or more specifically Crown Agents, as the Deep State cabal perpetrated the planned ditching of a small commuter airline Cessna Grand Caravan onto warm, calm Hawaiian waters, corruptly abusing elements of the NTSB, FAA, state and local agencies in their wake.

Using two branches of the military (including the USCG) for election fraud is the stuff of Barry's view of the US, which we previously would have hoped was consigned only to some Central American banana republic.

A lot more of the Deep State swamp needs yet to be drained!

Spencer was caught between Trump and Esper.

[Washington (CNN) Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley have raised serious concerns with the White House in the last 48 hours after President Donald Trump signaled he would block the Navy from ejecting Eddie Gallagher from the SEALs, an administration official told CNN.

“There is extreme concern over decision making being pulled from the Navy,” one administration official told CNN Saturday in reaction to Trump’s Thursday tweet that “the Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s Trident Pin.” The Trident Pin, which is worn by Navy SEALs, is awarded following their completion of an intense qualification course and symbolizes membership in the elite military community.]

Wonder if Trump ran a sting on Spencer? Maybe by having some anonymous staffer hint to him that Trump might do a deal, and then when Spencer took the bait, lopping his head off.

Plus Trump owes an explanation to NOBODY.

It is gracious of him to even give one
