A State Department official who was awaiting confirmation to be U.S. Ambassador to Albania communicated with the former British spy Christopher Steele and supplied information to a senior DOJ official after and before the 2016 presidential election.
Former State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary Kathleen Ann Kavalecs nomination was withdrawn recently by President Trump, according to a Senior White House official who spoke to SaraACarter.com.
Kavalec was awaiting to be confirmed as Ambassador to Albania, but information surfaced that she had personally met and was in communication with Steele before and after the 2016 presidential election. Kavalec, a long time State Department employee, worked under Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. She was also a supporter of former President Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, giving a small donation of $250 in 2012 to the Obama Victory Fund and another $250 to Clinton in 2016.

Why weren’t these people identified and rooted out TWO YEARS AGO?
This is one of President Trump’s greatest failings.
Actions have consequences, cupcake.
Purge all these vermin from government.
Camille Paglia summed it up in an interview. Trump is not a politician. He didn’t start in a lower office and gradually rise accumulating trusted supporters and advisors along the way. He’s been given a lot of bad recommendations. He’s dealing with a incompetent organization with millions of employees. Many of them can change regulations on a whim. Many of them can do something that Trump gets blamed for.
I agree. And with all the garbage that continues to go on, why aren’t they still even now rooted out?
YAY!
Any outsider going into the Washington cesspool would KNOW there are lots of hold-outs and hangers-on that are out to get him. He should have known that himself and should have made it an objective to get rid of his enemies, the same way Clinton fired all the U.S. Attorneys. I can’t buy that a seasoned CEO of a huge enterprise wouldn’t understand his enemies were all around and out to get him.
She’s from CA. Why doesn’t DJT get an agent to call her out and embarrass her? A withdrawal is too good for her. Make an example of her. Poor ol’ Louis Lerner (IRS) whined about not being able to get a job after she was outed.
“Hes been given a lot of bad recommendations.”
I wish the President had hired Freepers. There are many professional and skilled folks around here who would be truly loyal to him. In fact it’s not too late, he should really consider hiring Freepers.
Expecting an FSO to toe the MAGA line is like expecting a Christian to worship the Buddha...
Any replacement that needs senate confirmation is more likely than not going to be stonewalled by the Democrats. Of course our ball less wonder RINO pubbies have allowed this to continue for two years. My problem with Trump is when he does nominate someone (especially at DOJ and FBI) he recruits from the swamp.
Albania. I could take that post. Never talked with Steele or gave money to the Clinton’s or Obama.
Indeed, he has a huge militia ready to protect him from a coup but while democrats seek always conflict, Republicans always seek to deconfliction putting out fires of democrats instead of going after the arsonist
Subpoena time for Kavelec. Maybe she’ll blow the whistle on Ruland and/or Ohr AND WINER.
If she takes the 5th, you know she’s dirty. Too many connections to the Deep State not to know what was going on, when, where, how.
I don’t disagree. He doesn’t personally have the time to do BI checks and look at the networking. The upcoming appointment of one State Dept. deputy was just jerked because of the discovery they had been involved with Steele. He’s working in a den of vipers.
Good! Now -— I want to know WHO recommended this woman to POTUS? Find out THAT, and we may be getting somewhere!
Much of this could have been avoided had the president taken Corey Lewandowski & Grant Bossie to the White House.
Rough looking lady. She needs to wash her hair before speaking in public.

She is a traitor needing a rope from which to hang.
