The sitting president of the United States sent lawyers from our department of justice to make sure our former Attorney General didn’t answer any questions about his potential involvement in a child sex trafficking ring.

**Yes.**
Retired Navy SEALs Joe Heatly (who went through BUD/S with him) and Adam Newbold (senior chief) have publicly criticized Ed Gallrein. Heatly called him a "POS" who "wrecked careers" and made life miserable in the Teams. Newbold described him as "one of the most hated SEALs in the history of the SEAL teams" who "aborted more careers of great Navy SEALs than anyone else." Similar negative views appear in private SEAL forums.
These are on-record statements from fellow operators.
@RpsAgainstTrump No. It's an effective naval enforcement operation pressuring Iran's oil exports and economy since April, with ships turned away. But "greatest military maneuver in history"? No—hyperbole. Operations like Midway or D-Day dwarf it in scale and strategic impact.
