Selfish Sheehy Faces Campaign Karma
If you though it was bad enough for Tim Sheehy to earn millions running a Montana company that charges US taxpayers to put out wildfires caused by the climate change that the $4 billion oil and gas pipeline company run by his older brother, Matt, helps to create, think again.
Tim and Matt also made tens of millions abandoning the employees of another of their Montana companies. That happened when they sold their company to the US government/military contractor CACI (informally pronounced khaki) that supplied civilian interrogators who abused (arguably tortured) Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib prison during George Bush’s deceptively-promoted, under-resourced, and ill-fated US invasion of Iraq.
On April 15, 2024, a jury trial will begin in the federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to decide CACI’s corporate accountability and financial liability associated with the Abu Ghraib scandal. Now a huge corporation, CACI has been fighting in court for over 15 years arguing mainly not about whether the abuse or torture happened (some of them are on tape), but rather whether and how much three of the innocent Iraqi detainees should be awarded as damages for CACI’s illegal conduct, conduct that has triggered over 20 years of PTSD in the detainees.
After the sale, Tim went on a buying spree, purchasing luxury Montana resort properties and a 20,000 acre Montana ranch (the cowboy hat and the horse were extra). Now the CACI employees Tim abandoned are left to face the stigma of working for a company whose name will once again be dragged through the mud, as it was at the time of the publication of the terrible photographs of the Abu Ghraib scandal we all saw in the media. The Montana election will be held on June 4, 2024 and the general election will be held on November 5, 2024. So, during his campaign, Tim will now be distracted not only by the lawsuit filed against him for crashing an airplane into a US home as a student pilot, but by a trial smearing the innocent CACI’s employees he has left behind as he got rich. The karma chickens have come home to roost, right in the middle of Tim’s campaign.
Both of the companies that Tim and Matt founded were designed to enrich Tim. Matt and Blackstone, Inc., an early MAGA-connected investor in (at least) the wildfire fighting company, set up the companies to “groom” Tim to look like a successful businessman. No political contributions were necessary to enable Tim to “self-finance” his campaign to become Montana’s next junior US Senator. Montana’s current junior US Senator, Steve Daines, and Trump (who are tied in the smarts department) either to have had the wool pulled over their eyes or to have looked the other way in anointing Tim as the MAGA candidate in the race.
Montana voters want authenticity and competence in their elected leaders. Jon Tester fits that bill. Tim does not.
