What I see is a low-level flunky trying to make herself far more important than she actually is. All the original sender wanted to do was make a simple appointment. That’s what Ms. Becton’s job IS - to make appointments for Rep. McDermott. Meeting with a Congressman is not evidence of influence-peddling.
She’d better hope he’s not embarrassed enough by this to find her services unnecessary now, because she’ll have a hell of a time finding another job at that level with these emails circulating.
And I am done with this topic. Hope your day is blessed.
