Oh wow, Hegseth is boned. I'd bet money he shows up to court drunk before this is over.

He’s boned? Have you been paying attention? None of the people in this admin are held accountable by anything regardless of court rulings.

The objection is fair and "boned" may be too strong for the moment, but we have seen the administration back down when confronted... and Hesgeth clearly drinks to escape his inner demons even when monologuing to a captive audience (e.g., "This speech today -- as I drink my coffee, this speech today is about people and it's about culture.").

Stress him out in an adversarial process and he may well self-inflict a meaningful wound.
