Linick certainly cannot plead that he did not know what the rules were for dismissed employees.
So the accusation will suffice?
Not knowing the rules reminds me of being on a jury many years ago where a lawyer was on trial for defrauding his client.
The defense attorney had the audacity to claim that the fraudulent lawyer did not understand the fraud statutes.
Needless to say, ‘we the jury’ convicted the guy in short order.
In part, this is incompetence or collusion on the part of the State Department. If he was fired, how did he visit his former office. Why wasn’t his ID and access immediately terminated?
He’s a wad of gunk trying to block the swamp drain.
Go straight to jail.
Did Deputy Inspector General, Diana Shaw give it up? Or did other assets discover this, if so why is Diana Shaw still employed?
Why is this Admin so damn incompetent when it comes to enemies within and leakers? Once dismissed, Trump and Pompeo didn’t MAKE SURE all of his online and onsite access was CUT OFF? Insane.
That would be like Martha Stewart trying to claim she didn’t know the ‘Insider Trading’ regulations.................before she was a household Diva, she was a stockbroker.....................
What’s with these Gubermint employees and their texting? Not only are they rotten to the core their dumb as a rock which belies their supposed Ivy League “educations”
The President has his own swamp to clean. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
You have to rely on the integrity of government employees to carry out their duties in a lawful manner.
It’s just that so many of them don’t follow the rules or laws.
Democrats are Democrats first.
Being a good government employee is way down on their list.
The Democrat Party should pay their wages.
See folks, this is how it works just like the case of former clin-ton national security adviser Sandy Berger, or is that Sandy Burglar ? Caught in the national archives, stuffing into his socks, the ONLY copies of reports that would screw President Bill Clinton about 911. Sandy then proceeded to remove the stolen documents from the archive and burn them in his fire place. He was given a slap on his wrist and never explaind what the hell he was doing.
So, she was fired too -- right?
File an espionage charge against him and violating national security.
The types of career employees at the Department of State has not changed much since Joe McCarthy’s days.
So what is the punishment?
What is Bagpipes Barr going to do about it?
Why is it that the Democrats in congress never fail to circle the wagons when one of their own is under the magnifying glass? Yet, to often the Republicans strive not to circle the wagons but to put more distance between them so that they, as individuals, become easy targets. Just asking for a friend.
