Thanks. That malaprop really made my teeth itch!

“Ciccone’s refusal to comply with State OIG’s request for an interview sets a dangerous precedent contrary to the fundamental tenants of the IG Act…”

Small potatoes I guess, but I hope against hope they actually wrote “tenets” and not “tenants”…

This is really true. The ‘stonewalling’ of everything is coming and if the Democrats don’t nip it in the bud, not only will they make things immeasurably worse, it will have a profoundly discouraging effect across the board. Presidential wannabees - take note. If you haven’t learned by now that playing it nice and safe is no longer an option, then go away, you don’t have a chance. That being said, everyone should be polite and offer initial reasonable demands. Then bring down the hammer.

“Trump Appointee isn’t Cooperating” and there are so many it’s like wack-a-mole X 375. It’s Drumpf’s maladministration plan to disrupt and confuse while he pillages.

Their only concern is the glorification of themselves and Donnie the Drumpf.

“The chairmen of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, House Oversight Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee released the inspector general’s memo Thursday and added that they “strongly support the call for appropriate disciplinary action” against Ciccone.”

Jesus…just fucking subpoena her. We don’t need your mouthfarts. We need ACTION.

Bless you for having the sense and guts to post this. If the misuse of “tenant” was due to cutting and pasting the original mistake, it still should have had “[sic]” after it. The level of sloppy grammar/spelling is ridiculous. Thanks again.

Further, Ms. Ciccone’s refusal to comply with State OIG’s request for an interview sets a dangerous precedent contrary to the fundamental tenants of the IG Act, with the potential to undermine our critical oversight function. Therefore, I recommend that you take appropriate disciplinary action against Ms. Ciccone.”

Argh.
