The Deep State Exposed: Investigation Uncovers Foggy Bottom Anti-Trump Leak Factory
It was mid-May, about six weeks after Trump appointee Mari Stull began her new job as senior adviser at the State Department’s Bureau of International Organization Affairs.
(Mari) Stull and her boss, Amb. Kevin Moley, had just left for a trip to Geneva for the World Health Assembly. Back at the State Department, Erin Barclay, a senior career diplomat at the IO Bureau, invited more than ten civil servants within the bureau to a lunch meeting.
Several weeks later, the first hit piece against Stull ran in an exclusive Foreign Policy report. The June 13 piece alleged that Stull was “vetting” U.S. employees at the State Department and at the United Nations to determine whether they were “loyal” to President Trump.
Not one source was named in the piece, which cited the allegations from “nearly a dozen” anonymous “current and former U.S. officials.”
After the article published, three top Democrats — Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ), Rep. Eliot Engel (NY), and Elijah Cummings (MD) — then sent a letter dated June 19 to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo citing the article and demanding documents related to Stull and her alleged vetting of employees’ loyalty.
Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan then launched an investigation into whether Stull had been vetting employees for loyalty, according to a source.
Sound familiar?.....
Yes that sounds familiar. Like only the same thing! Nunes likely finds in his 2nd memo for State Dept. but I’m now thinking - duh - they’ve been doing this across all departments (DRAIN THE SWAMP!)
