Is post #25 above incorrect?
If I read correctly, the report says the drunk driving accident was false. He was demoted (and dropped by Trump) for his behavior if my reading is correct.
The left believes in smearing at a high volume level and throwing as much against a wall as they can.
If something sticks, that's great, but if not, they can claim things like "He is corrupt and a shocking lawbreaker. There are 91 separate felony counts against him. He could face up to 700 years in prison. Where there is smoke, there is fire."
Which is exactly what they did in Trump's case. And what they did to Jackson as well.
This could have come out of the mouth of Jon Tester, Democrat who led the smear:
"Well, first we said we didn't want him as the head of the VA, because he doesn't have the right administrative experience. But that didn't seem to deter Trump, or diminish the chances of him getting approved. We can't let that happen because it would be a victory for Trump.
So, first, we will accuse him of unprofessional conduct in being too free with prescription drugs such as Ambien to help people sleep, and Prevagen, meant to keep them awake.
Then, we will accuse him of being drunk and wrecking a Navy vehicle and being unable to perform his duties.
If that doesn't work, we will get people who under cover of anonymity (to protect them from retaliation, of course) who will say Jackson was unprofessional, tyrannical, sexist, you name it. Something is BOUND to stick."
Which is precisely what they did to Jackson. And Trump.
