Like James Comey, FCC Chairman Wheeler is yet another Traitorobama appointee.
FCC Commissioner having sex in his office, FCC workers watching porn, these guys don’t even respect their job opportunities. They should be banned from federal employment for life.
Do we need the FCC?
Here's an interesting article she wrote:
Finding Yourself After a 20-Year Marriage Ends
I have not been able to find whether her adultery with the Obama Administration official was a contributing factor to her divorce.
But it goes to show, the Administration is literally in bed with the press...
Well, not *literally*. They had sex in his office.
btt
Congressman Clyburn needs the fcc to keep his daughter employed at a high salary.
Didn’t the FCC Chairman get listed for some huge amount in a Pay for Play job give-away?
So federal government workers watching porn on government computers and on government time apparently isn’t a problem?
Yet another ‘Sex Scandal”? I don’t know if I can spare the outrage. “Old MacDonald had a Sex Scandal-ee-eye-ee-eye ohh!
They couldn’t wait to find a bed.

In concept, yes. It's a necessary evil.
In practice, it's a bureaucracy and needs fixing or replacement.
No.
National bureaucracies like this are forbidden to the Federal government; they are powers reserved for the States.
But, hey, it’s just the Constitution. Who cares?
(Lincoln didn’t. Roosevelt I didn’t. Wilson didn’t. Roosevelt II didn’t. Johnson didn’t. Clinton didn’t. Bush didn’t. Soetoro really, really doesn’t.)
Maybe this bit?

Ewww! I work in the building right next to the FCC Headquarters. I bet I've seen some of these perverts in the buffet restaurant in their building.
Nothing at all will happen to him. Even though he confessed to having sex in his office with a WaPo reporter who has an interesting way of cultivating sources.
