The state department is not permitted to enter into such an agreement.
I would be curious to know what government regulation they used in this case. Based on this interpretation....any idiot in the State Department could ask for the same ‘deal’ and they’d have to give it to them.
“The state department is not permitted to enter into such an agreement.”
Agree...
Who ever approved this action should be terminated “with as much prejudice” as the law allows...
