    As a side note it is amusing that in trashing Jackson HondoFS and company are implicitly inferring that most of the previous administration's inner circle must have been staggering around high on drugs for the last 8 years...

    White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the White House is looking into the allegations but maintained Jackson’s record as a White House doctor is “impeccable” and has “received more vetting than most nominees.”

    “He’s a very highly qualified, highly respected person in the military and in the medical community, and that’s something that we strongly feel that veterans need in the VA,” she said.

    So was Obama lying or stupid in 2016 when he said he was the best?

    Both.

    Looks like "extreme vetting" was not conducted here

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/us/politics/ronny-jackson-veterans-affairs.html

    President Trump acknowledged Tuesday that Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, his nominee to lead the Veterans Affairs Department, is in serious trouble amid accusations that as the White House doctor he oversaw a hostile work environment, improperly dispensed prescription drugs and possibly drank on the job.


    If Trump was a CFB recruiter, who would his best comp be? Sark?

    Something doesn’t quite add up in the competing claims about Ronny Jackson, the presidential physician who is President Trump’s nominee to be the next secretary of Veterans’ Affairs.

    Democratic senator Jon Tester offers a series of tales that make Jackson appear wildly irresponsible and reckless:

    Tester described reports to the Veterans’ Affairs Committee that alleged that on overseas trips, Jackson would “go down the aisle way of the airplane and say, ‘All right, who wants to go to sleep?’ And hand out the prescription drugs like they were candy … and put them to sleep and then give them the drugs to wake them back up again.”

    Tester’s staff told CNN that Jackson would hand out Ambien and Provigil.

    “These are called controlled substances for a reason,” Tester said on “Anderson Cooper 360.”

    Tester says he’s received allegations that Jackson was drunk on duty during Obama’s presidency, while he was the primary health-care provider for the president, on several different presidential trips. Tester claims he was so drunk as to be “unresponsive.”

    Except . . . that seems like the sort of thing someone would notice, isn’t it?


    Ya think?

    Yet Jackson received glowing reviews and assessments from President Obama himself several times, and fairly recently:

    “Ronny’s positive impact cannot be overstated. He is a tremendous asset to the entire White House team. Already at a level of performance and responsibility that far exceeds is current rank, promote to Rear Admiral now,” said an undated performance review that was signed by Obama.

    Obama said in October 2014: “A most impressive leader who continues to perform at the Flag Officer level. Ronny has earned my confidence and the gratitude of my family for his diligence and knowledge. Promote to Flag immediately.”


    Obama said in October 2016: “Ronny does a great job — genuine enthusiasm, poised under pressure, incredible work ethic and follow through. Ronny continues to inspire confidence with the care he provides to me, my family and my team. Continue to promote ahead of peers.”

    Well, it looks like the "smear campaign" against Dr. Jackson was started by Mike Pence's doctor. How did Trump's extreme vetting miss this?

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/30/politics/karen-pence-doctor-privacy-ronny-jackson/index.html

    Vice President Mike Pence's physician privately raised alarms within the White House last fall that President Donald Trump's doctor may have violated federal privacy protections for a key patient -- Pence's wife, Karen -- and intimidated the vice president's doctor during angry confrontations over the episode.

    The previously unreported incident is the first sign that serious concerns about Ronny Jackson's conduct had reached the highest levels of the White House as far back as September -- months before White House aides furiously defended Jackson's professionalism, insisted he had been thoroughly vetted and argued allegations of misconduct amounted to unsubstantiated rumors.
