A FBI background check on Hegseth, Kavanaugh style

[Blaster]

Hegseth was in charge of an organization of 100 people (and it failed) and he is being asked to run an organization of 3.5 million?

This opinion of mine has no basis on political beliefs. This opinion is based 100% on the candidate's experience.

Bullshit

 

[Zincwarrior]

Who?

Do they not permit you to watch the hearing where you are at?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Yet, you can't articulate any reasons for disqualification.

You just parrot what others say.

Literally just did.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Yet, you can't articulate any reasons for disqualification.

You just parrot what others say.

He isnt qualified. He has none of the skills needed in the job. Its not difficult.

 

[Hollie]

Yes, but that is because Hegseth does have a lot of cock experience. He would be great at running a house of prostitution. That is likely why Trump chose him

Perhaps you could share your vast experience with cocks.

 

[Hollie]

He isnt qualified. He has none of the skills needed in the job. Its not difficult.

Sorry Ahmed. Your nonsense, " because I say so" whining is not convincing.

 

[Luckyone]

Bullshit

Bullshit? Hegseth was asked that question at the confirmation hearing and he was the one that stated it. Why would you call it BS? He said it!!!!! Is he lying?

 

[jc456]

Any nominee must prove that they are qualified. The burden of proof lies with Hegseth.

The fact that you think people's sexuality is a major concern for the U.S. military, proves that you have no understanding of the U.S. Military.

nope, depends on the questions. stop embarrassing yourself.

 

[jc456]

He isnt qualified. He has none of the skills needed in the job. Its not difficult.

name those skillsets that you seem to know. This should be good.

 

[jc456]

It's up to the Senate to determine if he's qualified. It's up to Hegseth to prove that he is.

yes and no. They need to vote on his abilities, it's up to him to provide them with answers to the questions they have. There is nothing about qualifications. There are no qualifications. In any cabinet position. I challenge you to prove there are.

It's also up to each Senator to determine, in their own mind, what those qualifications are.

again, qualifications aren't the requirements, it is can he do the job.

If a Senator decides that destroying the U.S. Military is what qualifies him, then they'll probably vote in favor of his nomination.

again, no qualifications are needed.

 

[jc456]

I don't know how much you know about people and personalities in general but I do know a lot about that and the responses from Hegseth have not been professional or addressing the issues. The questions asked of him have been professional, full of details and addressing the issues,

Having said that and specifically addressing your statement about anonymous and unsourced, here is a quote from Hegseth's own mother:

“I have no respect for a man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego,” Hegseth’s mother wrote to him. “You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains and embarrasses me to say that, but it’s the sad, sad truth.” The email – which Hegseth’s mother later disavowed – appears to have come around the time of the dissolution of Hegseth’s second marriage; during Hegseth’s first marriage, according to a new report by Vanity Fair, he confessed to no fewer than five affairs.

blah, blah, blah, me, me, me, me. Get the fk over yourself you boob! You know absolutely nothing to this. PERIOD.

give us some more blah, blah, blah

 

[jc456]

Have you been listening to the confirmation? I have and what Jack Reed has stated (about Hegseth) has been 100% informational (no biased opinion) and shows that Hegseth is totally unqualified for the job. Hegseth's responses have been all biased and without actually addressing the issues.

what are the qualifications boob?

Democrats Say F.B.I. Did Not Interview Critical Witnesses About Pete Hegseth​

Senate Democrats on Monday said that an F.B.I. background check on Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon, omitted key details on major allegations against him, in part because it did not include interviews with critical witnesses.

One missed opportunity came when the bureau did not interview one of Mr. Hegseth’s ex-wives before its findings were presented to senators last week, according to people familiar with the bureau’s investigation.

“My understanding is that some of them would like to be contacted by the F.B.I. investigative team, or the vetters, and they have not been talked to,” Ms. Duckworth added in the MSNBC interview.

A spokeswoman for the F.B.I. declined to comment.

Mr. Trump's transition team commissioned the F.B.I. background check on Mr. Hegseth last month after initially floating the idea of hiring private contractors to look into the president-elect’s cabinet picks. As the client, presidential transition teams are traditionally able to set the parameters for background checks into cabinet picks, and potentially dictate which witnesses are interviewed and what questions are asked. The transition team’s directions to the F.B.I. for its investigation of Mr. Hegseth are unknown.

The bureau did not interview an ex-wife of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for defense secretary before the findings on his background check were presented to senators.

Report says Trump White House obstructed FBI probe into allegations against Kavanaugh

The Senate report is a damning rebuke to Trump’s claim he gave the FBI “free rein” to investigate sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.

www.msnbc.com

For her part, Sen. Duckworth has noted Dems were not given the same access to Hegseth as Repubs prior to today's hearing.

Duckworth: Trump’s Pentagon pick has less experience than Applebee’s manager​

Duckworth held the press call to lay out her concerns about Trump’s nominee, insisting that her objections to Hegseth aren’t motivated by politics but by what his confirmation would mean for national security.

She complained that Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, will likely be the only Senate Democrat who will meet with Hegseth before his hearing.
Duckworth also noted that rank-and-file Democrats on the Armed Services panel may not have a chance to fully review the FBI background check on the nominee, an investigation Democrats believe will be critical to assess a sexual assault allegation from 2017 and alleged mismanagement of Concerned Veterans for America (CVA), an advocacy group.

Can anyone think of a reason why trump's transition team would limit the scope of Hegseth's background check as his WH limited the scope of Kavanaugh's? Are they trying to hide his lack of qualifications for the job, his heavy drinking, his abuse of women, his mismanagement of funds for the partisan vets organizations he ran, the reasons he was let go by them, or his bizarre statements on everything from women to religion?

Hegseth is clearly not a serious person and is clearly not fit for this job.

 

[jc456]

That belief explains your vote for trump.

except

are there actually any qualifications to be nominated for any cabinet position? The constitution merely says a citizen. That's pretty much

Your comment is typically absent any serious thought or information that is supportable or reliable.

You are not a serious person worthy of commenting.

No, because of his words and behavior, of course. Like normal people think.

. You accuse others of this, because this is the depth of your intellect. You're too dumb even to know you are telling on yourself.

 

[Anathema]

Well, not only do we have to hold the felonious sexual abuser incoming President to lower standards across the board, we have to do the same for anyone he picks for critical positions.

That's just where we are now.

In my mind every POTUS should be able to choose their own cabinet and have it rubber stamped in a single vote by the Senate. That simple.
