INVESTIGATION โ As I noted in a lateย January PDB, a โDemocrat Colluded With Air Force Against Black Female GOP Candidate.โ
In that case, theย Air Force took the fall for the release of the congressional candidate's military record, blaming โa junior individual [who] didn't follow proper procedures.โ
However, Jennifer-Ruth Green, a Republican, continues to blameย U.S.ย Rep.ย Frank Mrvan, D-Ind.,ย and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) for illegally obtaining and releasing the information through corrupt Air Force personnel to damage her campaign in the weeks leading up to the November election.
The release despicably included information about a sexual assault Green had suffered while serving in Iraq.
But, it seems there is much more to the story.
We now learn she wasn't the only target of the corrupt DCCC.
We also learn that a Democrat-linked consulting and research firm called โDue Diligence Groupโย (DDG) has been at the center of a partisan effort to improperly, and likely illegally, obtain the service records of at least 11 service members via fraudulent SF-180 requests.
According to data from OpenSecrets.org, the DCCC has paid more than $100,000 to DDG since 2021.
SF-180s are used by veterans, authorized legal recipients and next of kin to legally obtain information from military personnel records.
Third-party requests require the service member to authorize theirย request with their signature.
In these 11 cases, it is clear the service members did not provide their authorization.
Just the Newsย reports:
In an unprecedented breach, the Air Force improperly released to a research firm tied to Democrats' congressional campaign arm the confidential personnel files of eleven members of the military, including one involving a retired lieutenant colonel running for office as a Republican that detailed how she had been sexually assaulted in the Air Force, Congress has been told.
And the House Armed Services and Oversight committee are demanding answers. The news outlet continues:
[Inย a February 13 letter], House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers and House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer are demanding that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin explain how he will prevent future breaches of military members' private information while pressing to know if there will be criminal prosecutions.
Just the News further reports on the letter:
โThe Office of the Secretary of the Air Force (OSAF) has informed the Committee that itย released 11 individuals' records over a 14-month period from October 2021-December 2022 to aย private research firm which allegedly misrepresented itself in order to obtain access to theย personnel records without authorization or consent.โ
Rogers and Comer wrote that the release of other service members' personal information highlights โnot only the inadequacy of procedures to secure military personnel files, but also raises concerning questions of possible illicit motive or political partisanship.โ
โThis conduct by the Air Force is, at a minimum, unacceptable,โ they added, โThe conduct by the research firm is quite possibly criminal.โ
Just the News reported that Rogers told the outlet that much more needs to be investigated.
Rogers stated: โIt's abhorrent that a Democrat-aligned firm would do something so despicable as fraudulently obtaining service records. Chairman James Comer and I pressed the Department of Defense for answers on this egregious breach.โ

The complete lack of morals or ethics within the Democrat Party and their associates is on full display now yet supposedly rational people keep lining up to vote for them. Our democracy is at risk alright and it’s the Democrats who are seeking totalitarian control. They like to make laws, they just don’t like to keep them.
The whole Demonrat party needs to replace the Jan 6 prisoners.
Make names public for recall etc
Did any of the veterans sign release forms?
Austin and Milley are the ones showing no respect for our troops. Austin is Obama little puppet and Milley is in China’s pocket. Both should be court martial. Pentagon has no honor left. A bunch of old woke people who have betray America.
