Trump’s Veterans Affairs pick could be in trouble….

April 24, 2018 By jamesb

Trump’s (And the Obama and Bush II’s) doctor Ronny Jackson’s confirmation heraings have been delayed….

Reason….

Workplace misconduct….

The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee has delayed the confirmation hearing for President Trump’s pick to run the Department of Veterans Affairs amid allegations of workplace misconduct.

Adm. Ronny Jackson was scheduled to have his confirmation hearing Wednesday. However, multiple reports in the last 24 hours have revealed concerns among senators over his fitness for the position.

The Washington Post first reported that the Senate would delay Jackson’s hearing in the face of unspecified allegations.

Staffers are reviewing allegations of a “hostile work environment,” CBS News reported, including “excessive drinking on the job [and] improperly dispensing meds.”….

        Some of the talk was going on before Trump even nominated him.

        Sometimes one wonders whether “vetting” even occurs anymore .

          Actually I think it doesn’t matter
          If Trump wants the guy?
          They just let him go ahead…
          He won’t listen to anyone until he gets hit the face

    Apparently this souse was drinking on the job.
    That explains how he put Trump down as 239 lbs. Maybe one of those fat ass cheeks weighs that much.

      This leaves an opening for the nomination of Captain Morgan

    Since Jack is a practising courtroom attorney, he could elaborate further and more deeply, but I’m mildly surprised that the Senators and their staffs (many of them lawyers) without much difficulty seem to have done a better job of vetting this nominee than did the nominator’s staff, many of whom are also lawyers.

    I understand that standard practice among litigating attorneys in the U.S. is to check out their own witnesses whose credibility is sure to be impeached by the other side. In fact, a failure to do so can be seen as a neglect of one’s professional abilities.

      Jackson was in trouble from the jump….

      While he was the doctor for Bush II, Obama and Trump?….

      That’s ALL….

      Seeing Trump floundering probably made them even more worried about the guy….

      Trump is a simple guy who does NOT think things thru, trust experts or take the word ‘no’ from people he hired…

        This appointment is off the rail’s…..
