The FBI background check on Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, does not include interviews with Hegseth’s ex-wives or with the woman who accused Hegseth of sexual assault in a California hotel room in 2017.

I would imagine a traditional Republican should be as appalled by his appointment as anyone. After all the Military has a special place in conservative hearts. They don’t want to see it degraded,

nursejungabel.bsky.social•54 days ago

Golly G I wonder how that could have happened? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

profhesham.bsky.social•54 days ago

That's exactly what happened when they investigated Kavanaugh during his supreme court confirmation!!!

harleytheequinn.bsky.social•53 days ago

Reminds me of the so-called investigation before Beer Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing. Apparently the “client” (the administration requesting the investigation or background check) can set the parameters for the FBI to stay within. Disgusting!

socaloma.bsky.social•53 days ago

How convenient.

scubado1.bsky.social•54 days ago

WTH. This is not legit! Democrats need to bring them in to testify in person!

Ef this guy.

spooley2.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why? Incompetence? Cover up?

left-not-right.bsky.social•53 days ago

Director Wray has recently stated he is proud of his agents work. I am not.

chantingcrow.bsky.social•54 days ago

Sounds like that's exactly what they were doing, it's so sad. It's like these people want to see this country Fall apart. Or they're just too chicken 💩 stand up and do what's right.

dbeaves58.bsky.social•53 days ago

The FBI is corrupt and can't be believed about anything.

tmurp1953.bsky.social•54 days ago

Sounds familiar👇🏼

bostonborn26.bsky.social•54 days ago

Elizabeth Warren has all of that covered. She has. 72 questions ready for him. First questions are:

1. Have you ever been treated for substance use disorder?

2. How many times have you been accused of sexual assault?

Putin must really want the raging drunk on the convicted felon donald tRUmp’s cabinet.

What’s not to love? He’s easily blackmailed, has no morals or ethics, can be counted on to be too drunk to act or remember anything. He’s perfect 😳

damemilton.bsky.social•54 days ago

I can't believe they're moving forward with this guy.🤔

fkameridian13.bsky.social•54 days ago

Just like with Kavanaugh. 🙄

nanalexi.bsky.social•53 days ago

He’s going to get confirmed. These hearings are useless. The republicans will put him through.

mrentflejs.bsky.social•53 days ago

With two sexual assaulters on SCOTUS, and another in the White House, why do we think they care about a sexual assaulter in the cabinet?

harleytheequinn.bsky.social•53 days ago

assailants

docigt.bsky.social•54 days ago

It's Kavanaugh all over again...they don't want to We the People to know the truth.

rbtec.bsky.social•54 days ago

Just like Kavanaugh. Wray and Garland are pieces of shit.

davidgilbertvoiceover.com•53 days ago

Shouldn't ANY FBI background check for a Cabinet position INCLUDE ALL areas of their personal and professional lives to determine if they a) pose a national security risk or b) are not harboring any skeletons????

The USA already has a fucked up justice system so why would the FBI be any different!!

mermerlkwd.bsky.social•53 days ago

I wouldn't call what they did a background check. My sister had multiple interviews and took months to get clearance so she could work for a defense contractor as a software developer.

silevey.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s like he walked around looking for the worst criminals there are and say hey you wanna work for me raping the American public

fightlies.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yeah, just like that rapist Kavanaugh. No interviews of the actual accusers.

fitswell.bsky.social•54 days ago

Well, we have a convicted criminal for President so what do you expect. Thanks Dumbfuckistan.

lolaonthepath.bsky.social•54 days ago

Hegseth is being sane-washed for the American electorate.

idiocracyistrue.bsky.social•54 days ago

Webster's press release: The only definition of "vetting" now is when you take your pet to the doctor.

deaconblues24.bsky.social•53 days ago

Regrettably this is nothing new. This was the extent of Chris Wray’s background checking on Trump’s SCOTUS picks.

izzyg.bsky.social•53 days ago

The Fibbies have realistically lost credibility. It’s a damn shame. The next 4 years will result in further deterioration. Will they ever be trustworthy again? It’s going to be a rocky road in a flaming tesla truck with busted shocks and flat tires.

conjoy.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just like the kavanaugh FBI check.🥺🤦🏼

mupx2.bsky.social•53 days ago

Exactly.

jeffersonhairplan.bsky.social•53 days ago

You are correct. Their job was to find no fault in this dickwad.

nosacredcowfla.bsky.social•54 days ago

Turn to my cats: "Haven't we seen this movie before?"

galswguitars.bsky.social•53 days ago

Well, if this GOP Senate wants to give every ounce of power, they have to Trump then let them. Every single one of these guys they confirm is going to take a huge chunk out of the power they wield as a Senate. So if they wanna take out 50+ Republican senators! Ok!

radishskull.bsky.social•53 days ago

That's some bullshit background check. Why bother at this point ffs?

genxotaku1971.bsky.social•54 days ago

{Strong Bad voice} "Kavanaugh'd!" (another "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" sham investigation 🙈🙊🙉)

frannybananny.bsky.social•54 days ago

I’m not surprised considering the FBI put the reports on the doctor that sexually assaulted the woman on the Olympic gymnastic team in a desk drawer and forgot about them - the reports and the sexually assaulted youn women.

godbless-you.bsky.social•54 days ago

Just like Kavanaugh -Supreme Court Rapist
what a coincidence!
It's the groomers & rapists administration
I nominate this one next -He's late for prison
His trafficking partner went to prison

spritepurplefairy.bsky.social•53 days ago

🌊🧚‍♀️🤟🤣his face makes me angry... and ewww 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤣🤣

carole-62-angel.bsky.social•53 days ago

And who did that crap?

unclecracker.bsky.social•54 days ago

So, it is official- the FBI came already compromised

johnshea122.bsky.social•53 days ago

Good morning Senators I hope you are well rested today because the American people are going to be watching you for the next few days to make sure that you do the job that you were elected to do, and to make sure that you do not confirm all these individuals who are not qualified for these jobs.

jkhill.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why do Republicans want to degrade our military in a time of crisis!

Hegseth could NOT EVEN manage a Pizza Hut!

HEGSETH COULDN’T EVEN RUN A SMALL CHARITY!

HE CAN’T even mange his own finances!!!!

lizsmith1950.bsky.social•54 days ago

This surprises me, as the FBI is still Biden-Christopher Wray until 01/20/2025…no?

faded-neutrino.bsky.social•53 days ago

Nothing to see here, folks....Now, let's move along.

estogrrl.bsky.social•54 days ago

Shocking 🙄

rosebanditquinn.bsky.social•53 days ago

And also no info about his mismanagement of veterans organizations. THAT would be key.
