Rep. Anna Paulina Luna

questioning you, so I suggest you do it the easy way.

So he actually, in the middle of the meeting, we were kind of holding his feet to the fire on it.

He like kind of got nervous as we were talking to him.

And he, I kid you not, he goes, you know, they're going to like that.

I'm not going to let you see this.

So he like kind of was like thinking out loud, but didn't realize that he was basically saying it.

And then in the middle of our meeting, he gets up and leaves the room.

Like I have to go to the restroom or something.

And then maybe like five minutes later, this tech sergeant comes in and says, oh, the base commander's been authorized to go on leave to Georgia.

He won't be coming back.

And I'm sitting there looking at Gates and Burch, and I'm like, he just left?

Like, in the middle of a congressional delegation?

Like, that's never happened.

Yeah.

Like, verbally articulated it.

Gates was there.

My husband was there.

Burchett was there.

But here's the problem.

Even if it was someone like the Secretary of Defense, right?
