Fitzpatrick: If Elon Musk Gave the Order to Slow Down Starlink in Ukraine, ‘That’s a Violation of the Law’
EXCERPT:
FITZPATRICK: "Well, that’s what the report says, but we've got to investigate, Kaitlan. I'm a career FBI agent, you know,when I read the report, I dig into it. We've got to call the witnesses, gotta bring them in, put them under oath and get to the bottom of it, because this is — this is a very, very serious matter. It cannot be glossed over. We cannot just move past this. This is a serious, serious issue, because lapsing Starshield in that manner that costs human lives, there’s got to be consequences to that. So, my first reaction, Kaitlan, when I read it, if it is, in fact, Mr. Musk that ordered this, that is likely a violation of the law, because he has authority and decision-making authority over Starlink, the civilian commercial product, but not Starshield, which is a military-grade national security tool. So, no civilian, no individual civilian should have any decision-making authority on how that’s deployed. So that’s what we need to get to the bottom of.”
