    Perhaps you would care to serve as Sec. of Defense, Super Moderator.

    Your 40K salary would increase dramatically.

    WASHINGTON — The FBI has been examining a violent domestic dispute from nine years ago between acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan and his then-wife as part of a background investigation ahead of his possible confirmation hearing to be President Trump’s permanent defense chief.

    Tuesday afternoon, Trump said he would replace Shanahan as acting secretary.

    The incident, in which Shanahan and his then-wife Kimberley both claimed to the police that they had been punched by the other, did not surface when Trump nominated Shanahan to be the Pentagon’s second-in-command two years ago, or when he was selected to be the interim defense chief this year.
