The acting State Department inspector general during Hillary Clinton’s tenure there was was a donor to Barack Obama, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics’ Open Secrets database.
Harold W. Geisel, a former ambassador, served as a temporary State Department IG during Clinton’s entire time as head of the State Department. According to Open Secrets, in 2008 Geisel contributed $2,300 to Barack Obama.
The donor data offers further insight into a question posed by Bloomberg News and others, specifically, when it comes to the Clinton email scandal — in which Clinton declined to use a government email account in favor of a private one, complete with its own separate server — just where was the State Department’s watchdog?
“For five years, including all of Clinton’s time as secretary, the State Department’s Office of Inspector General never had a confirmed inspector,”
Friendly Reminder: There Was No Inspector General At State When Hillary Was There
Recently, the State Department’s Inspector General issued a report that its employees weren’t following federal guidelines regarding the preservation of emails. It wasn’t deliberate, most employees don’t have a lot of clarity regarding what should be saved for the public record and what should not. Yet, the gap is massive. In 2011, 1 billion State Department emails were sent, but less than 62,000 were saved. How did the Inspector General miss the Hillary email trainwreck? Well, as Bloomberg reported, the State Department didn’t have one when she served as Secretary of State.
Moreover, this incident has government accountability groups somewhat hopeful as it raises the issue concerning Inspector General vacancies in government. Then again, not every Inspector General is of a good character.
