My question, why was he not fired???

Instead promoted?

Is this a doctor one would want treating the President?

Or is it??

Mick Mulvaney, Chief of OMB and CFPB, in an address to banking executives:

“We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress. If you’re a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you’re a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/u...on-bureau.html

Draining the swamp indeed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The security chief for the head of the Environmental Protection Agency worked on the side as a private investigator for the owner of a tabloid news company with close ties to President Donald Trump.

EPA special agent Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta performed regular work for National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc. during the 2016 election, according to person with knowledge of the company’s internal workings.

But unlike another private investigator hired by the Enquirer, Perrotta didn’t work on such newsroom projects as tracking down sources. Instead, the person told The Associated Press on Tuesday, Perrotta was engaged to discretely handle investigative work at the direction of AMI chairman and CEO David Pecker.

I was wondering about the same thing after reading a report of his misbehavior in 2012 during an overseas trip. Guess one never gets fired from a government job.

Mulvaney wants to end public access to CFPB’s Consumer Complaint Database

Seems that none of Donny’s Department heads understated the mission of their departments. Only in Whell’s world of alternative “facts” does this make any sense at all...

Trump’s ‘Best People’ Are the Worst
Quote:
At this point you have to ask: Just what do job postings for the Trump administration look like? Surely they must stipulate that relevant experience isn’t a plus, but that a flexible notion of ethics is. They must demand references who can recount specific instances of demonstrated incompetence. How else to explain the sheer number of poorly prepared or careless or sticky-fingered officials crammed into this careening clown-car of an administration?

White House physician Ronny L. Jackson has withdrawn himself from consideration to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs following numerous allegations of professional misconduct, including that he had wrecked a government vehicle after getting drunk at a Secret Service going-away party.

CNN gives us a pair of Trump biographers giving their view of Trump as leader. The takeaway? When Trump is in direct charge, he burns through staff and runs the organization into the ground.

Now happening to the office of the President of the United States.

“People are not people to him, they are instruments of his ego. And when they serve his ego, they survive, and when they don’t, they pass into the night. Ultimately, the fate of anyone who casts their lot with Trump is — you are passing through. And I just can’t think of anybody for whom it is not true.”
