Ho hum, nothing to see here, except the Department of Defense helping Democrats defeat Republicans in elections. It turns out that Jennifer-Ruth Green, whose congressional campaign got upended when her victimization by sexual assault got exposed, was not the only Republican to have a confidential file leaked to the opposition.
And give Politico some credit for keeping up with the story:
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) was informed of the “unauthorized release” in a letter from the Air Force obtained by POLITICO. Rep. Zach Nunn (R-Iowa) said in a statement that he was told by the Air Force that his own records were also disclosed without his approval. …
The Feb. 7 letter Bacon received from the Air Force names Abraham Payton of the research firm Due Diligence LLC as the person who “inappropriately requested copies of your military personnel records for the stated purpose of employment and benefits,” adding that Payton was already in possession of Bacon’s Social Security number. Payton is a former research director for the Democratic political group American Bridge.
Both Bacon and Nunn are calling for an investigation into whether political opposition research turned into illegal activity.
“I understand the evidence has been turned over to the Department of Justice and I expect those who break the law to be prosecuted,” Bacon said in a statement to POLITICO. “This was more than just ‘dirty tricks’ by Democrat operatives, but likely violations of the law.”

Beware when both sides of the aisle are upset..............
Turned over to the DoJ for prosecution. LOL. The DoJ?? Prosecuting Communists??? LOL I’ll believe in the Easter Bunny, The Great Pumpkin, and the Tooth Fairy before I believe the DoJ prosecuting their own team for crimes against the GOP.
This practice is ONLY ILLEGAL, when someone is CHARGED AND CONVICTED. Until then, it will be standard operating procedure.
Like you say: DOJ? FBI? You want evidence to die? Send it there.
Any crime punishable with a fine means that it is legal for a price.
Hillary was doing this back in the 90’s with FBI files before it was cool
It turns out that Jennifer-Ruth Green, whose congressional campaign got upended when her victimization by sexual assault got exposed, was not the only Republican to have a confidential file leaked to the opposition.
She lost by 5% in a district that hasn't elected in Republican in nearly 100 years.
Was she ever really in it?
““I understand the evidence has been turned over to the Department of Justice and I expect those who break the law to be prosecuted,”
Dream on.

Republicans are upset their private military records were released.
Democrats are upset they got caught.
