The hold from Grassley will indefinitely block confirmation of Christopher Miller as National Counterterrorism Center director and Marshall Billingslea as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security.

“Congress has made it clear that should the president find reason to fire an inspector general, there ought to be a good reason for it,” said the Iowa Republican, who added that it was important Americans not “be left speculating whether political or self-interests are to blame. That’s not good for the presidency or government accountability.”

Screw off, Grassley. You’re old and senile. It’s time to retire.

Grassley needs to go to the White House today and get the answers to his questions - and then get out of the way.

“The hold from Grassley will indefinitely block confirmation of Christopher Miller as National Counterterrorism Center director and Marshall Billingslea as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security.”

Two useless positions that are better unfilled.
