There is a lot of misinformation on this thread. For example, is nothing in the police report about it being part of her job to get him to his room.

I find a lot about the allegation to not be credible but the thing that sticks out the most is that witnesses say she was fine the next day. She says she thinks she may have been drugged. Anyone who has actually been roofied knows that you feel like a train rolled over you the next day.

That's not true. I was roofied and other than feeling a little tired I was fine the next day.

Anyone can claim they were roofied. There was no factual evidence that she was in this case.

This is absurd. If she wanted to have a convention fling or one-night stand, she is not taking her husband and kid on the trip with her. The woman's drink was spiked.

There was no evidence of her drink being spiked. That was a false claim she made days after when her husband accused her of cheating. Did you see the police report?

There is no physical evidence of her drink being spiked. There is no evidence it is a false claim. You all can keep pushing your narrative but either he will drop out or it will all be litigated in the Senate. There is nothing (including the NDA) stopping them from calling her as a witness.

He may just drop out, true. She waited for 4 days to get a rape kit. Probably because she had to make the story believable to her husband, and family. While I think he's probably not the best person, I believe she went to his hotel willingly. I mean it's on video...

But she also didn't really remember what happened till later and also a tiny bit of GHB is quite fast acting and metabolized quickly. Becoming the most common drug found in date rape accusations because of that (WHEN they can find it given it is metabolized so quickly).

Pete is a war hero and cocksman with model good looks, the victim admits in texts all the women there wanted to bone him…and you think he’s flying around with date rape drugs? Good lord, you are lost in the sauce.

So you think that because women might think a man is attractive that that man can't commit rape?
And date rape drugs are disturbingly easy to get.

And what's silly is that they can find somebody else just as conservative to run DoD, just like they could have found somebody else just as conservative for that SC seat. At least SecDef isn't a lifetime appointment.

They could. But they don’t want to. They (Senate GOP) won’t oppose Trump.

+1 The police report is telling, there is a reason he was never charged. He didn't rape anyone.

Then why did he pay her?

Asked before, not answered.

Why did her and her husband take the money and sign a contract to not talk about it? NDA's are very common, it is not an admission of anything other than we won't talk about it. They both had reputations they wanted to preserve I guess but it's none of our business. They agreed to something, she and her family received money it was done for 7 years.

If he's going to be SecDef, it's our business. SMH

If she was texting her husband all night about Pete, the husband obviously knew who she was with when she didn’t come back to the hotel room until 4 or 5am. So the wife was allegedly just raped, but the husband and her wait 4 days to report it? Come on, who believes this nonsense?

Did you see the letter his mother sent to him? She called him an abuser of women.

Yes, this has already been discussed on this forum. The New Yorker article above is the latest story about his character flaws.

Some highlights of the article for those who don't want to read it are below. The sources are from multiple former colleagues from several organizations he ran and paint a picture of someone who: had a big alcohol problem and was frequently intoxicated and out of control, fraternized inappropriately with female staff, created a hostile workplace for female employees, and couldn't keep it in his pants when on the road and away from his family. He was forced to step down from the two nonprofits he ran--what makes anyone think he's going to be a better manager of the entire DoD with its multi-billion dollar budget and over 3 million employees (active military and civilian)?

*forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran—Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America—in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.

*repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity—to the point of needing to be carried out of the organization’s events.

*Hegseth took the C.V.A. team to the strip club, where “he was so drunk he tried to get on the stage and dance with the strippers.”

*under Hegseth’s leadership, the organization became a hostile workplace that ignored serious accusations of impropriety, including an allegation made by a female employee that another employee on Hegseth’s staff had attempted to sexually assault her at the Louisiana strip club.

*Hegseth was at a bar in the early-morning hours of May 29, 2015, while on an official tour through Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, drunkenly chanting “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!”

*Hegseth had “a history of alcohol abuse” and had “treated the organization funds like they were a personal expense account—for partying, drinking, and using CVA events as little more than opportunities to ‘hook up’ with women on the road.”

Please read up on the psychology of rape.

It is carried out for reasons of control, to impose power. Elderly women, babies and unconscious people get raped. The norms of “dating,” do not apply.

Your analysis reflects talk simplistic ignorance.
