Some technician at the National Archives 'accidently' released the info. Coincidence that it happens to be a democratic candidate?

This is the work of the gop. Who wants to deny it?

Of course it is. It’s part and parcel of our political gamesmanship. The whole political process in the country is absolutely without shame or any moral compass.
 
Shameful actions on the part of this Administration and the Ciatarelli campaign.

Not surprising though. They aren’t above dirty politics. Especially since the Jack campaign has nothing to offer NJ - he’s turned full MAGa Trump ass kisser.
 
Not released as part of her military records but still pretty damning. Seemed to have an issue with the Naval Academy's honor code. I wonder what she is hiding by refusing to release those records.


Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for governor of New Jersey, was barred from walking with her class at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1994 as a punishment connected to the massive cheating scandal that implicated over 130 midshipmen in her class.

A copy of the commencement program from May 25, 1994, obtained by the New Jersey Globe, does not include Sherrill’s name. Sherrill said that her absence from the ceremony was a consequence of failing to report classmates who had been involved in the scandal.

“I didn’t turn in some of my classmates, so I didn’t walk, but graduated and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy, serving for nearly ten years with the highest level of distinction and honor,” Sherrill said.

However, the Sherrill campaign rejected a request that she permit public inspection of any disciplinary records from her time at the academy. Only Sherrill could authorize the release of those sealed records.
 
Not at all “damning”

It’s nothing but a desperate attack by a loser Ciaterelli and this administration against an honorable veteran.

Something that neither Jack nor Trump is.
It is not an attack. It is a fact. Sherrill was not permitted to walk with her graduation class because she was involved with the cheating scandal and did not follow the USNA honor code.

BTW, she only did 9 years in the Navy. The required commitment for pilots (she was a helicopter pilot) is 6 years after winging (which takes about 2-3 years). So, she left as soon as could before she was even eligible for LCDR (10 years). I expect there is something in her record that shows that she was not on the fast track for promotion.

And don't forget the $7 million that she and her husband miraculously made after she become a Congresswomen. Shades of Bob Memendez. But then, NJ Democrats do love their corrupt politicians.

Do you really not see the irony of this position?
 
The Honor Codes of USMA and USNA differ in their wording.

USMA Honor Code: "A Cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do".

USNA Honor Code: A Midshipman will not Lie, Cheat or Steal.

Oh this rich...

How desperate

Jack has zero military experience.

Nor does Trump.

Yet neither of them seem to have any qualms disparaging someone who does.

And if we want to talk about $$$….who is worth more?

Jack.

Mr. NJ Politician and Millionaire who is now running for governor for what? The 3rd time? (And being worth millions isn’t really a big deal in NJ…btw. Lots of people hit that mark because of property values here…Sherrill’s husband makes the bulk of their $$$, not her. She’s released WAY more financial disclosure info than Jack ever did)


Jack is a lifetime NJ politician - as shady as they come. He’s had his fingers in the politics of NJ since the early 1990’s 😂🙄

The issue is that the Trump Administration released to Sherrill’s opponent her Social Security number, her home address, her parent’s address and her insurance information. This is a lawless president using the tools of government to hurt Democrats.

No, only the part that the authoritarian Republicans control.
 
This is an authoritarian move right out of the book. So, so obvious.
