An investigation from the independent government watchdog that oversees the Department of Veterans Affairs concluded Thursday that a Republican member of Congress was involved in an orchestrated campaign by V.A. Secretary Robert Wilkie to disparage the reputation of a female veteran who alleged she was sexually assaulted at a V.A. facility.

The 68-page report from the V.A. Office of Inspector General (OIG) stated that three witnesses said Wilkie informed them that Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) gave him information about the female veteran that could erode her credibility. Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, served in the same unit as the female veteran, Andrea Goldstein.

In addition to suggesting a sitting member of Congress funneled potentially harmful and false information to the V.A. secretary amid an endeavor to discredit a sexual assault survivor's allegation, the report detailed the V.A.'s improper handling of the incident.

V.A. Inspector General Michael Missal characterized the handling of Goldstein's allegations by Wilkie, an appointee of President Donald Trump, and other senior agency officials as "troubling."

"Scrutinizing the veteran's background is contrary to V.A.'s stated goal to serve veterans with respect," Missal said in a statement. "Every V.A. employee should commit to making V.A. facilities safe and welcoming places where such complaints are met with the highest standards of professionalism and responsiveness."

Crenshaw's office did not respond to Newsweek's request for comment or questions about why the lawmaker and his communications director refused to cooperate with the OIG, as the report stated.

Why is it so hard for people to not be pieces of shit like this?

I don't get it. There are probably a million productive things a person could do in that position, why do this?

Joe is indeed an idiot. I used to love his podcast like 8 years ago. It's gotten progressively worse until this year where it just became largely insufferable. I only watch if it's a guest I really want to see. He really turned into this whiny, insufferable pseudo libertarian.

Remember the first week Dan Crenshaw introduced himself to America and we were all like "oh man, he lost his eye in battle. I hope he brings valor and honesty back to US politics"?

Now look at this fucking piece of shit assclown mofo lol.

---

What a piece of shit.

---

will Joe Rogan talk about this?

of fucking course not

The military has a rampant sexual assault problem and it's fucked up for anyone in power to question a survivor. Like, they're already doing everything they can to cover up and ignore that these things happen. To slander survivors on top of it is just...
