Did we see a new strategy today?
Did you catch these changes at the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearing?
Was team Trump working things behind the scenes at the Senate confirmation hearings of Trump’s nominees?
The entire enemy hates Pete Hegseth and did not want him confirmed.
The democrats went into their old bag of tricks but their strategy is really stale.
It is so predictable.
But did you see what happened?
Forget about the democrats smears. They were all expected.
The Republicans were “well prepared” for these democrat smears and tactics.
The Chairman didn’t cave on anything.
One day of questioning.
That’s what was agreed upon and he refused to cave on extending another day.
Then there were all the documents that the Republicans kept introducing into the records, in order to counter every single criticism the democrats had on Hegseth.
A democrat would focus on a specific criticism and then when they were done, a Republican would enter documents into the record countering the democrats criticism.
Then there was this huge deal.
“Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing is becoming a test of will for Republicans on ensuring FBI files aren’t distributed throughout the entire Senate.
Why it matters: The Trump transition team is demanding that the president-elect’s nominees be treated the same way they insist Joe Biden’s were.
That means no FBI background check access for rank-and-file senators, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Senate Armed Services chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and ranking member Jack Reed (D-R.I.) have been briefed on the report. Others have not.
A member of the Trump transition sat in on the FBI background briefing on Hegseth’s file, a source familiar told Axios. The senators weren’t given a copy of the file. They also weren’t allowed to take notes or pictures.”

Trump’s people are forcing the Senate, both democrats and republicans, to treat his nominees the same way they treated Biden’s nominees. Many of who didn’t have to go through FBI background checks.
The democrats don’t get to dig for dirt and then paint the FBI as being against Hegseth, like they tried to do to Justice Kavanaugh.
Trump is going to get all of his nominees confirmed.
And think about this.
The plan was always to “allow” Biden to steal the election so we could be right here in a position where the large majority of Americans want a complete transformation of our government.
Since the plan was to let Biden steal the election, maybe the republicans were told to purposely let the democrats ram all of Biden’s nominees through with almost no resistance, knowing that Trump would then demand that his nominees get the same treatment as Biden’s.
Checkmate.
