Mod: Good and all I guess, but how did some MAGA clown with Hitler hair ever get himself an Army"secret security clearance"
?Army boots Trump supporter with ‘Hitler mustache’ for Jan 6 misconduct (Raw Storylink): The U.S. Army demoted reservist Timothy Hale-Cusanelli from sergeant to private and gave him an other-than-honorable discharge after a dozen years of service, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
"An
Army reservist charged in the
Justice Department's sweeping investigation of the
U.S. Capitol riot was quietly demoted and discharged earlier this year, becoming the first known service member to be forced out of the military after officials learned of an alleged involvement in the
Jan. 6 insurrection," the newspaper reported, citing personnel records reviewed and the former soldier's lawyer.
Attorney Jonathan Crisp complained about the discharge.
"Crisp called the punitive discharge, which severely limits benefits and resources otherwise available to military veterans, 'improper' because, he said, it was delivered while Hale-Cusanelli was incarcerated and because any comments made in the former soldier's defense could violate his 5th Amendment rights in the federal case," the newspaper reported. "Typically, commanders wait until criminal cases are finished before making discharge decisions, Crisp said."
"At the time of his arrest,
Hale-Cusanelli, who remains in federal custody, according to the
Justice Department, was employed as a civilian security contractor at
Naval Weapons Station Earle in
New Jersey and held a secret security clearance, prosecutors said in a March court filing," the newspaper reported.
"
Navy investigators interviewed 44 of his colleagues, including
Navy personnel and fellow security contractors, about his behavior at work. All but 10 described
Hale-Cusanelli as 'having extremist or radical views pertaining to the
Jewish people, minorities and women,' prosecutors said." Multiple colleagues mentioned
Hale-Cusanelli's "
Hitler mustache" to investigators.
