In Wake of the DCCC Illegally Purloining Republican Veterans' Confidential Military Records, The Veteran Administration's Tech Chief Met With the Head of the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. Who Is Also His Wife.

How cozy. Working hand-in-glove together.

Andrew Kerr:

As Veterans Learned the DCCC Had Leaked Their Data, the VA's Tech Chief Was Meeting With His Wife. She Runs the DCCC.

On Feb. 8, the Air Force informed two Republican political candidates, also military veterans, that their information had been improperly leaked to a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee contractor. That same day, the Department of Veterans Affairs' chief technology officer met to discuss cybersecurity with his wife, the chairwoman of the DCCC.

"Meet w/Suzan's technology team (account security)" reads the 3:00 p.m. calendar entry on Veterans Affairs assistant secretary Kurt DelBene's official calendar, a reference to his wife, Rep. Suzan DelBene (Wash.), chairwoman of the DCCC. The calendar entry, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, also contains a link to the DCCC's Zoom account. Just hours earlier, the Air Force notified the two veterans, Sam Peters and Kevin Dellicker, that a DCCC contractor had duped them into releasing their restricted service records during the 2022 elections.

Both Peters and Dellicker were running for Congress as Republicans when their military records were improperly obtained by a Democratic opposition research group, according to campaign disclosures. The House Weaponization Committee launched an investigation into the breach of military service records in March.

"This isn't going away quietly," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) said last Monday. "It wasn't on just one person. It was all these Republicans running. We're gonna have to just not clamp down on that, [but] look to see if it's happened anywhere else."

The timing of the meeting could be an optical nightmare for the Democratic power couple. A Biden appointee, Kurt DelBene is responsible for all privacy-related matters at the Department of Veterans Affairs. He oversees the department's Privacy Service, whose mission is "to preserve and protect the personally identifiable information (PII) of Veterans." The political campaign committee his wife now chairs is in hot water for using the social security numbers of at least seven Republican congressional candidates to trick the Air Force into releasing their private military service records.

The DCCC confirmed the Feb. 8 meeting with Kurt and Suzan DelBene took place but denied it had anything to do with "DCCC political matters." A DCCC spokesman told the Free Beacon that Kurt DelBene was brought in to ensure it was following all cybersecurity protocols to protect their private email addresses from "bad actors" and "foreign adversaries."

Yes I believe that. I believe everything Regime Democrats tell me. They haven't betrayed my trust so far!
