I saw the first two episodes last night and if you grew up in the 90s hip hop, Bad Boy vs Death Row, Biggie/Tupac era it's an absolute must-watch.
And that's before you get to the fact that they somehow obtained footage of him talking to his LAWYER in 2024-25.

If you're avoiding the Diddy doc due to 50's involvement, he's just the money man. A woman who is known for her documentaries directed it.

There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”
But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.

Since Admiral Bradley has a duty to follow the Constitution and the Uniform Military Code of Justice, he must testify-if subpoenaed-and state who ordered the “kill” strike
By throwing him under the bus, Karoline Leavitt just gave him incentive to cut a deal for immunity so he can do exactly that

REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

This is exactly why service members are trained to follow only lawful orders.
Trump’s team is now seemingly throwing Admiral Bradley and SEAL Team 6 under the bus to dodge responsibility for a potentially unlawful strike.
And yes, shame on them too.👇
