If House Oversight Committee Democrats were hoping for colorful quotes and angry fodder with which to investigate the Trump administration’s response to the novel coronavirus, they didn’t get them Tuesday.
It’s almost like someone learned that sticking your neck out in the hopes that Congress will do something to stem the tide of corruption emanating from the White House is a fool’s errand.
I don’t blame her. We’re living under a dictator in all but name (soon enough).
I’d be more worried about what his cultists are planning.
I wonder if the way to get around Trump’s ire at IGs is to rebrand the position?
(I’m just to tired of all this appeasement to the Great and Terrible Trump)
Glenn fine will be appointed again as inspector general in the Biden administration. These folks need to start looking at the future, trump only has 7 more months, and a politically motivated dismissal, with a personal lawsuit vs trump, and then getting reappointed, is a good career move. Better than boot licking.
Note slipped under her door last night: “You could avoid going through some things depending on your conduct during tomorrow’s hearing.”
Did Beavis and Butthead release her dog after she was done not testifying?

Too bad Bill Gates doesn’t offer her a job so that she can speak freely.
Sorry, I have no sympathy for her. Unlike Fauci et. al., she has no position to jeopardize by

“Now, we believe, is not the time to be looking at issues like that,” she said

If you’re not willing to tell it like it is and lose your job for blowing the whistle or saying something true that might get you fired, then you don’t belong in an IG’s office in the first place.
She comes across as trying to save her career rather than saving thousands of lives.
I agree with this. In fact, I think Biden’s camp needs to quietly tell EVERYBODY in the Trump administration that they should obey the Constitution and respect Congressional Oversight, or prepare to lawyer up and get their personal affairs in order because they can expect justice will be done in the Biden Administration. As a minimum they should NOT expect any support from the Executive Branch with regard to a Democratic Congress’s oversight activities, including defying Contempt of Congress citations. That process may well include extended stays in the “Big House” for any number of Trump political appointees.
Did you actually READ the article?
Asking because your comment suggests you didn’t bother.
"Grimm’s caution makes sense given her own situation. While she will no longer be spearheading the HHS’ office of the inspector general — Trump has nominated Jason Weida, an assistant United States attorney in Boston, as permanent inspector general — she’ll remain in her deputy role. "
Remind me - who has the ultimate declassification authority? (Crooked grin)
