Trump calls for firing of Tennessee Valley Authority President Jeff Lyash
NY Post ^ | Aug. 3, 2020

Posted on 08/03/2020 2:49:21 PM PDT by deplorableindc

President Trump on Monday called for the ouster of the highest-paid federal worker, Tennessee Valley Authority President Jeff Lyash, citing his plans to outsource jobs to India.

Trump told reporters at the White House he’s firing TVA board chairman James Thompson and board member Richard Howorth for laying off dozens of IT workers while hiring foreign replacements. Trump said Lyash will soon lose his job too.

“We’re getting rid of [Lyash] in one form or another. Either the board’s gonna do it, or we’re gonna do it, but he’s gone,” he said. “We will get somebody for a much lower price. I want the savings on a lower salary… to go to the people of these great states in the form of energy savings.”

Browns Ferry apparently had an Iranian infiltration but the media were VERY quiet about that.

“Trump said he was especially outraged at the compensation package for Lyash, who earned $8.1 million last year.”

WTF? WTF?

President Trump, please release the Top 100 Highest Paid Federal Workers List!

Makes you wonder what passes for vetting:

February 11 2011
The native of Iran said that the money was losing its value in the TVA account and he decided to buy some property with it in Tehran, Iran.

Bajestani said he could not send the money directly to Iran from the U.S., so he funneled $600,000 of it through a bank in Canada.

He said the money went to his brother-in-law. He said the money has not yet been invested because he did not fulfill his commitment to send over $1 million.
