RE
#hegseth unfitness to serve as #SecDef
#JaneMayer #newyorker archive.is/nWn9p

This is very big, esp when hosts on #MSNBC read the full devastating Hegseth is unfit and a predator, letter by his mother (email pub by #NYTimes)

Will the #MAGA folks NOT get to see this powerfully BAD choice by #Trump? Will the average R voter let this one go?

To me, this (I hope not) exposes Trump wants MORE than a drunk bad guy who he can control, Trump wants #CHAOS #USA

Pete Hegseth’s Secret History By Jane Mayer December 1, 2024 (cut) "The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared and that’s where I am going to leave it,” he told reporters. In an interview, Parlatore, Hegseth’s lawyer, told me that his client was completely innocent, and that his accuser “was the aggressor,” and that she had “tried to blackmail him.” He also claimed that “sources,” whom he declined to identify, told him there was a shocking reason law-enforcement authorities hadn’t charged Hegseth: their investigation had discovered that his accuser had previously brought a false rape charge against someone else, thus undermining her credibility. Parlatore made the same allegation in the New York Post, which quoted Hegseth demanding that Monterey County law-enforcement officials release their investigative records on the accuser. (cut) A few days ago, I filed a public-records request with the Monterey County District Attorney’s office, asking for any information supporting the claim made by Hegseth’s lawyer that his accuser had levied sexual-assault claims against others. The answer came back promptly and definitively. The claim is spurious. The office had no such evidence

Two books comprehensively, authoritatively detail this, explaining the current state of U.S. politics, and the spread of ultra-conservativism internationally. Basically, regulatory capture of political parties.

Jane Mayer: Dark Money ...
Nancy MacLean: Democracy in Chains ..

A bit dry if you are not interested in politics, but honestly essential reading if you want to understand contemporary conservative politics and movements.

Investigative journalist #JaneMayer review from 2019: #Kochland author Christopher Leonard digs up new “evidence of the Kochs’ role in perhaps the earliest known organized conference of climate-change deniers….The meeting, in 1991, was sponsored by the #CatoInstitute, a Washington-based libertarian think tank, which the #Kochs founded & heavily funded for years.”
