President Donald Trump withdrew a high-profile Treasury Department nomination over the nominee’s old job, as top federal cop in Washington, D.C., reports indicate.
The legacy news media, telling us stuff we already know or have guessed.
Now, multiple outlets report that the change was a result of Liu’s old job, where she supervised a number of politically sensitive cases including those against Trump confidante Roger Stone and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
It certainly will. Serving as a Trump KKKult loyalist would have guaranteed her a giant salary at a corrupt GOP firm like Jones Day when she left government. She will no longer have that opportunity. Her only job was to protect Trump and mete our his vengeance on behalf of the GOP and their agenda and she failed.
My resume has 24 years of project experience for projects I actually served on. It doesn’t have anything on there for those for which I interviewed and didn’t either succeed or accept, if succeeded.
This gig for her will be the one ‘that got away’.
@sniffit, and that in the real world will be enough to salvage her career among the real lawyers, vs. the hacks.
She can hope so, but she’s somewhat tainted from both directions. I agree that not getting the nomination or having it pulled by a douchebag POTUS really isn’t the issue, but her wilingness to serve him and then her unwillingness to REALLY serve him is a double-edged sword.
As mentioned on the related TPM article on Liu, she was more likely canned for investigating McCabe, but not prosecuting. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person (Trump transition team, etc.) but that is what our country is now.
So basically she was fired for not being quite corrupt enough, a little like the US attorneys under shrub who were willing to do most of his dirty work but couldn’t quite extend to the fraudulent voter suppression cases.
