During the 2022 election cycle, the military records of Republican candidates were repeatedly attacked and called in to question by Democratic opponents and PAC’s.
Very few people publicly questioned how the military records, which are supposed to remain confidential unless the requester goes through the proper legal channels, were released.
In one particularly egregious case, Democrat opposition research firm Due Diligence Group LLC outed veteran and Republican Congressional candidate Jennifer-Ruth Green as a victim of sexual assault, resulting in widespread backlash from both Republicans and Democrats alike.
According to an Air Force spokesperson, the records were released as a result of Democratic opposition researchers lying and saying that they were requesting the records for an employment background check.
The opposition research firm was reportedly paid $110,000 by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) over a nearly two-year period.
National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) called for the Democrat’s respective committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), to face accountability following a bombshell report from Politico revealing a research firm employed by the DCCC inappropriately obtained the military personnel files of multiple Republicans.
“This systematic weaponization of Republican candidates’ military service against them is beyond disgusting. It is time for the DCCC to stop hiding and face accountability for their actions,” Hudson said in a statement, referring to the Politico report indicating the military personnel files of Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE) and Zach Nunn (R-IA) had been obtained using a “stolen” Social Security Number in at least one instance.
“The Department of Justice must immediately begin investigations into this matter, and if the DCCC violated the law, they should face prosecution,” the NRCC chairman added.
Politico noted that the “DCCC did not return a request for comment on whether it received and used materials provided by Due Diligence Group during the 2022 midterms.”
The worst of us are in charge.
You don’t have to follow the rules or laws if you are a Democrat.
The Dems have now infiltrated every part of government - the IRS, the FBI, the military - to weaponize them against Republicans and conservatives. No one can view their tax records, military records, personnel records or any other record as off limits for Dem opposition research. The GOP better make this “weaponization of government” committee effective. It had better not be another “Russiagate” committee flop.
Your wonderful (and HIGHLY PAID) federal employees at “work”.
Its a weapon for lawfare which is where we are, Republicans should push this.
But we’re already at total war stage here, the only thing that hasn’t happened yet is mass arrests of all political opponents.
That has yet to happen, but it will.

We know who’s good at getting government records to smear conservative Republicans, don’t we? One time she had 500 FBI records of Republicans. I won’t mention any names but her initials are Hillary Rodham Clintoon.
“According to an Air Force spokesperson, the records were released as a result of Democratic opposition researchers lying…”
So who is going to prison?
That’s right.
No one.

Com’on now - Hillary didn’t steal 900 FBI files in the 90’s for nothing! Think of how many people are still being blackmailed today with the information in those files -
Of course it's good to expose this disgusting disregard for the law, but everyone here recognizes that the people responsible will never be held accountable by the regime that employs them against its political enemies. The regime will never hold Brennan, or Clapper or Sztrok, or Schiff or Pelosi accountable for their illegalities and abuse of power. Elections were supposed to make that happen, but since both the Presidency and the Senate are now controlled by fraud, that is never occur.
You would think some states would take real action about some things. But their governors prefer shams like putting a handful of illegal migrants on buses instead of starting mass deportations themselves.
The only thing that can is some Americans holding these people personally accountable.
Ping.
Hi, I’m the former Secretary of the Air Force, Barbara McConnell Barrett and I allowed this to happen.
I allowed this to happen. My qualifications are “I am a woman” and I served on the board of Raytheon. But you can say I’m a cattle rancher, but the truth is I own a Dude Ranch that I bought with all the riches I took from the little people.
In her community, Barrett was chair of the Arizona District Export Council, World Affairs Council, and Economic Club of Phoenix.
She also served on the boards of Space Foundation, Sally Ride Science, the Center for International Private Enterprise, the Smithsonian Institution, Caltech, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Hershey Trust Company, Mayo Clinic, the Lasker Foundation, Exponent Corporation,[9] Raytheon, and Piper Aircraft. She was president of the International Women's Forum from 1999 through 2001.
Barrett has been the owner and CEO of the Triple Creek Guest Ranch since 1994.
wouldn’t that be akin to what they alleged that Nixon did? Or close anyways?”
"face accountability" ? LOL, that's a good one.
Nixon was accused of ‘covering up’ a crime, not the actual crime itself................
Stolen? Or handed to them. I go for the latter! BASTARDS!
If you are in possession of goods that are not yours, even if give to you, they are stolen...............
Military records should be off limits except for LEOS, not available to employers’ background checks.
Anybody can claim this and apparently they did..............
Going after an impersonal group is weak. Richard Hudson should go after the head of the DCCC at that time, Sean Patrick Maloney, D-NY, drag him before a committee or court, and force him to defend his actions.
Maloney is now being touted to become Secretary of Labor. Maybe this can be brought up in confrmation hearings if he is nominated.
