26. They won't pay him off.

He was originally selected to take the fall for any fuck ups that the Supreme Court and Congress can't cover trump for.

Trust me, Hegseth doesn't know anything that could get trump in serious trouble that trump hasn't already gotten a pass for.

And IF he does know something, he's a fool for not getting out when he had the chance. But he's a college fratboy drunk on booze and white christo supremacist delusion, blind to his own peril. At this point he's probably down to two choices: a spider hole or an open window.
