I just got off the phone with Terry Heide, the congressional liaison for State Department Inspector General Howard “Cookie” Krongard. Earlier today, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) wrote to Krongard alleging that Heide had threatened two IG investigators, Ron Militana and Brian Rubendall, after they agreed to go on the record to Waxman’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee with accounts of Krongard stifling corruption investigations. “I categorically deny any and all of it,” Heide said. “I did not intimidate them or threaten retaliation. I don’t have the power to fire people.”
