A FBI background check on Hegseth, Kavanaugh style

Cleaning out incompetent woke fools at the Pentagon improves national defense
You've bought in to the trumpian lie which basically says............"I'm nominating someone who couldn't handle running two tiny partisan vet groups without being accused of sexual harassment and let go for mismanaging funds, to run the biggest agency in the US government so he can deal with the fictitious deep state equivalent inside the DoD."

NOTHING in his background suggests he is qualified to run a hotdog stand.
 
yes we do we have seen you side constantly with progressives and attack Conservatives.

Then I'm sure it will be easy for you to provide two or three progressive positions I hold on the actual issues.

Be the first. Go ahead.

98.6% of what dickhead Mac1958 posts here is deranged speculation about da Eebil Orange Man or saying those who voted for Trump (which is a majority of Americans) are dumb and he's smarter because he is anti-that. (everything) :rolleyes-41:
Sorry Mac, you're wrong. You're thick as a brick, and probably some kind of government plant here to sow discord like Golfing Gator. Fuck Off, you broken record shitbird.

You bought into the Biderer lie that Lloyd Austin was "qualified" because he was a DIE hire. List for us the specific qualifications required for Sec. Def.

Shirley, you must have a list.

The Mac1958 schtick, it's old. Past its 10th birthday. :aargh:

And he's going for 14 with the same exact hot garbage.
"Orange Man Bad, Trump supporters dumb". That's it. That's all he does. :dunno:

Sure. That's why he wants to gut all government positions and replace them with blind loyalists, why he wants to destroy the press, why he wants to bring down the justice and judicial systems.

He doesn't want to be held accountable.

The world has seen it before, and it's all playing out again, in real time, right in front of us.
If you were president, would you allow people into your administration that you believe will undermine your entire administration? You wouldn't. Would you?
 

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.

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


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?
Only the committee chairman and the ranking member can see the BGC, so it's debatable how much the Democrats know about the BGC.
 
If you were president, would you allow people into your administration that you believe will undermine your entire administration? You wouldn't. Would you?
So anyone who doesn't mindlessly and obediently toe the line is "undermining an entire administration".

Airing and hearing a variety of opinions in an organization is bad for an organization.

It can only be one or the other. Fealty or destruction.

Standard MAGA shallow, binary thinking.
