Fake News: Media Reports State Dept. ‘Mass Resignation,’ Officials Actually Fired
Breitbart ^ | January 26, 2017 | by JOHN HAYWARD

Posted on 01/26/2017 5:18:53 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Today’s Fake News freakout began with a buzzing swarm of headlines about “mass resignations” by the “entire senior level of management officials” at the State Department resigning in some stunning act of protest against President Trump. Before long, we learned we were talking about four people, and they did not resign, they were fired.

“The State Department’s Entire Senior Management Team Just Resigned,” gasped the Washington Post, prompting a ripple of secondary headlines across mediaspace. Some of those headlines were a bit more cautious, such as the Jerusalem Post reporting that the State Department team resigned “in a possibly coordinated walkout.”

As it turns out, that “walkout” was coordinated by the Trump administration:

Hell YEAH !!!

“”””The “entire senior management” team suffering this “mass” obliteration consists of Assistant Secretary of State for Administration Joyce Anne Barr, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele Bond, Ambassador Gentry O. Smith of the Office of Foreign Missions, and most notably Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy, who tried to drag the FBI into Hillary Clinton’s cover-ups.””””

How could the media possibly be shocked? Either they are all drama queens with attention spans of a knat, or, they are all complicit in the rigging of the Democrat primary in favor of Hillary to the point of overlooking probably illegal behavior of political appointees :

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/18/gop-calls-mount-for-patrick-kennedys-resignation-after-fbi-revelations.html

“Kennedy tried to horse-trade with the FBI, offering additional slots for the bureau overseas if they would de-classify a particular email from Clinton’s server marked “SECRET.” The files also revealed he repeatedly tried to “influence” the bureau’s decision when his offer was denied, even taking his plea up the chain of command. The allegation of a “quid pro quo” was first reported by Fox News”

Oh no doubt. A drip here, a drop there...all done to inflame an already mentally unstable horde of liberals.

They were despicable with Bush, but what I see right now with the liberal establishment amounts to bloodlust. This whole “Resist” “Not my President” BS. It’s like they are desperately trying to coax an armed uprising from the snowflakes. ha

Fake news. Yup!

Patrick Kennedy, Clinton’s Defender, Out at State Department Official forced out by Trump admin was blamed for Benghazi attack, Clinton's email server

Also, Patrick Kennedy as a hot potato isn't tough to figure out...foreignpolicy.com was writing about this 7.28.16: The Bureaucrat at the Center of Hillary’s Scandals: Patrick Kennedy has been linked to Benghazi and Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Here's how he survived years of GOP and FBI investigations

If they are “trying to coax an armed uprising from the snowflakes” it is just too bad that they have spent years and years supporting gun control and marginalizing decent firearm owners.

The armed up rising may be a flash in the pan. The snowflakes detest guns which is to the benefit of all patriots.

Those Springfield Armory Saints look pretty good.
