This is what I believe happened in the 96 hours before, during and after Election Day. I have little insider information, this is just me connecting some dots. I could be wrong: 1. The Trump Administration knew it would be a wipeout. 2. The Vance team coordinated with Susie Wiles so there would be a concerted information campaign to blame the loss on Pete Hegseth because of Iran and to oust him, thereby clearing a JD Vance competitor from the field (plus maybe Rubio too). 3. Trump was unaware of this campaign, which included Susie scheduling a Saturday Camp David meeting with Vance/Susie loyalists with Trump out of town (that meeting got cancelled). 4. Vance dropped his "It wasn't me" X post on Wednesday morning (which directly blamed Trump's decisions but also impliedly blamed Hegseth and Rubio), but not before a whole bunch of people (me included) had already started backing Hegseth. 5. Hegseth himself dropped an info campaign that was clearly in anticipation of unfriendly folks in the admin trying to pin the loss on him. 6. It all came to a head in the Oval Office where Trump had to choose between Susie and Hegseth. Trump chose Hegseth and ousted Susie. This is all conjecture on my part, but it feels right. I base my assessment in part on the fact that there were media people telling me that the Vance team was POd at my "Hegseth 2028" article and they tried to discredit me in the media as being paid by Hegseth to post that article (which is an absolute lie). (Note the similar attacks on Laura Loomer.) Politics is a nasty, nasty business. As you see efforts to impeach Hegseth in the days and weeks ahead because he does his job so well, please consider my theory.
