<<"The reason for the suspension was a “new policy” “scan documents in separate PDF files instead of a single PDF file when sending them to other agencies,”
Officials cited an instance of the PDF mishap as grounds for a “pattern of this type of defiant behavior.”
“You are not in charge of the Personnel Security Division,” >>
Wait, wasn’t this a scene in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil…?
Note to Mr. Kovensky:
[Newbold] suffers from dwarfism
What she suffers from is other people’s attitudes towards her dwarfism.
Trump’s administration is like a farmer’s field full of so many damned deer the neighbors can’t sleep for all the gunfire from hunters given permission to cull the herd. It’s a target rich environment, but all anyone can think about is they wish the fricking bullets would quit whizzing by. And naturally it’s the hunters fault the deer are there to begin with, so let’s bitch about them.
A classic he said, she said situation. She accuses them of putting our national security at risk by allowing unqualified people to have access to National Secrets. They accuse her of scanning a PDF improperly.
She probably makes bad coffee, too.
Stupid, petty and vindictive; these are the good points of the Trump “Administration.”
I foresee a charge of mishandling classified information for the security chief. Which of course will just play into the GOP party line about government incompetence.
I foresee a charge of mishandling classified information for Tricia Newbold.
FIFY
So where did Carl go? And we know he came from the Pentagon, but how did a Trumper suss him out? Enquiring Minds Want to Know?
As far as I can tell Kline hasn’t gone anywhere, still holds his position.
When you consider that if even only 2% of the population are truly petty assholes that still leaves almost 7 million Americans fully qualified in this regard for the Trump Administration and I expect the 1% of these assholes be in a position to get hired…
Trump was denied a casino license 32 years ago in Australia due to his mob ties.
FUN FACT: When Harry Reid was the chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission he rejected Frank Sinatras application for a gaming license for the same reason. Casino regulators have higher standards than Trump giving out security clearances.
From the WaPo story:
“In his letter to the White House, Cummings said the panel’s first subpoena would be to depose Kline, who now works for the Department of Defense.”
Cummings wrote that he is preparing to issue a subpoena to depose former White House personnel security director Carl Kline, who served in that position for the first two years of the Trump administration.
From Josh Kovensky’s previous post, so I’m confused is he there or ain’t he there.
That’s damned optimistic. I’d peg it well north of 30%.
So now I know, thanx
But it doesn’t make me feel any better.
WIKI is dependably updated, and references to the whistleblower incident are there, but no citations of his firing or removal exist.
Echo your sentiments. Thank you for saying that.
Can one rep please, please abandon decorum and simply ask him, “What the f*** is wrong with you?” Preferably over and over, in rising volume?
Not quite that high for true assholes…
A true asshole is not merely a reflection of their intrinsic ignorance, true assholes are full aware of what and why they are doing it…
