A FBI background check on Hegseth, Kavanaugh style

Focus trumples, focus. Why hasn't trump allowed for a thorough background check of Hegseth just as he did with Schlitz Kavanaugh?
 
Joe's administration was not that good. They were pure party hacks, and many were picked because they fit Diversity over talent. People suffered due to this. At least more than they should have in any events. What is qualified and what is not is up to personal views. Cleaning up the excesses in the way things are is a good thing. We can save some money and give out more money to the citizens. That is what you want, right? With a more socialized society we at least have to get some efficiency in it.

There are about a hundred million people that are potential diversity hires. Of them there are millions that are very qualified for their jobs. The two are not exclusive of each other.

Condemning DEI hires is a lame excuse by people who are less qualified and fail to get hired.

E pluribus unum!!!
 
If they served at the whim of the prez there wouldn't be a confirmation process.
What bureau is involved in approving presidential appointees?
Did you ever have a Civics class?

Running the Department of Defense takes a whole lot of knowledge and skills that are far beyond your, my, Hegseth's or Trump's comprehension.

At least I know what I do not know.
Your logical fallacy: appeal to ignorance.

How do you know that, if running the department is beyond your skills, knowledge, and comprehension?

But I forget, you're MAGA so you know everything about everything!
Nope...Haven't voted for him over three opportunities to do so....I'm so far to the right of Trump that it'd make your head spin.

Pro tip: not everyone who opposes shitlib fuckery is necessarily a Trumpster.

If you do not understand that running the Dept. of Defense takes extraordinary knowledge and skills then in this discussion, I truly am appealing to ignorance.

As you've just admitted, your dumber than a Trumpster.

The replies from trumples are a litany of ineffectual whataboutisms that do not address Hegseth's lack of qualifications to do a job vital to the nation's defense.
 

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?

Kavanaugh style? Is that where you clowns lie through your teeth and make up stories?
 
Well conservative patriots want the military fixed, progressive Marxists want none of that.
If trumples want the military to be fixed, whatever that means, then you should support the nomination of a candidate with the skills to make reforms competently. Hegseth has none of those skills.

It's where trump prevents the FBI from doing a thorough check. Just as with Hegseth.

Also not an answer as to why Hegseth isn't qualified.

You have nothing other than "it's hard", so STFU.
As you've just admitted, your dumber than a Trumpster.
FU

We have the most effective military in the world - by far. It doesn't need to be fixed.

You MAGGOTS want to destroy the U.S. military.

PUTIN LOVES YOU!!!!
 
What bureau is involved in approving presidential appointees?
The FBI is involved in investigating nominees, not approving them. That's the Senate's job.

It’s Not That Complicated: Hegseth Was On Trump’s Favorite Channel​

We’re hearing a lot about Hegseth’s supposedly sterling qualities that explain Trump’s choice.
Let’s be clear about this: Hegseth is a conventionally attractive Fox News host. Trump saw him on TV. This isn’t an out-of-the-box choice to shake up the Pentagon. Trump is picking loyalists straight from “central casting.”

DEI miltary doesn't cut it and I do not want mentally ill going into the military so men who want to pretend to be women can get free lopoffofmes, or women who can get addadicktomes
