Drain the swamp my arse!

Good thing there are no wars stirring, we don't need a Secretary of Defense, or even Deputy Secretary of Defense. Sure in the entire history of the department of defense and even department of war, the longest there has never been a Secretary was 60 days, and the second longest was 10 days, and we have been without a Secretary for over 160 days. But I guess that is something competent administrations.

Also, how the hell did this not come up in his confirmation hearing? Shouldn't this have been told to the FBI and passed on to the Senate?

Still something a little fishy. There were rumblings that Shanahan's background check wasn't all smooth sailing prior to the domestic abuse allegation going public.

So it could be that Shanahan wasn't truthful to the FBI about something. Either this or something else.

So Shanahan's "it's all for my family" may not be the whole story. It may not be his choice.
