The FBI background check on Pete #Hegseth does not include interviews with Hegseth's ex-wives or with the woman who accused him of sexual assault in a California hotel room in 2017, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the contents of the report. —NBC

@GottaLaff So, not really a background check. Yikes!
@GottaLaff
Oh, how very convenient. 🙄

@GottaLaff
Saw a Trump-appointed #Wray getting away with pulling this shit with #Keggers under Trump1.

Joe Biden has learnt nothing from ignoring #AnitaHill and supporting #ClarenceThomas for a SCOTUS seat?

@skua
How does Biden get blamed for this? Even if he had done something differently when Clarence Thomas was confirmed (and he should have but let’s admit it was a much more sexist time) he didn’t create the political climate we’re in today
@GottaLaff

@Danetteb @GottaLaff

Where does the buck stop in your view?

If Wray's FBI is corrupt, which it appears to be from this, then Biden has no responsibilities?

Edit: You are absolutely right, Biden has not created the political situation that we're in today all by himself. He did his bit though. And here we are with Trump2.

@skua
Wray? Because he didn’t vet this guy? They did the same lame “vetting”they did with Kavanaugh because Trump wanted this asshat. Trump is the rapist-in-chief. He set the precedent @GottaLaff

@Danetteb @GottaLaff So you see Biden having no reponsibilities if the FBI fails to provide adequate vetting for a candidate for a position of extreme importance to national security?

That would be an interesting position.
Trump would approve of it I think.

@skua
Biden isn’t head of the FBI and has no control over the hearings. We’re done.

For those readers interested in fact based analysis:

"The FBI is led by a Director, who is appointed by the U.S. President and confirmed by the Senate for a term not to exceed 10 years. "

@GottaLaff They remembered the protocol from when they did Kavanaugh's background checks.

Ensure all the blackmail material is up to date and then clear him anyway.

@GottaLaff

So it's a foreground check. Hard to put into words not only how despicable this is but how dangerous. MAGA recklessness, driven by fascism, is destroying us.

@GottaLaff I live in Aerospace Land, and a lot of my neighbors work for defense contractors. I get interviewed pretty often, even when people I see MAYBE once a week need a background check. (My input usually amounts to, "Yes, he always puts his trash out on time and brings in his bins quietly. I haven't noticed any parties or odd deliveries. He seems nice.") This different treatment of Hegseth is an insult to all of them.
