Democrat President Joe Biden’s U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Amy Gutmann, has returned to the United States just days after first reporting for duty during the Munich Security Conference, taking a commercial flight back to the States after Vice President Kamala Harris refused to let her fly home on Air Force Two.
Gutmann, who presented her credentials just days ago — Thursday of last week — to begin work as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, attended meetings at the Munich Security Conference with world leaders and fellow top U.S. officials, including Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Instead of staying in Germany to work at this critical time in foreign policy in Europe, an embassy spokesman confirmed that Gutmann is now back stateside just days after first reporting for duty. Germany is one of the key geographic centerpieces of the unfolding Russia-Ukraine conflict, given Biden’s decision to allow Nordstream 2, the Russian natural gas pipeline into Germany, to proceed after his predecessor former President Donald Trump held up the pipeline during his administration. The Kremlin has been increasingly emboldened since Biden opened up the pipeline and now threats of a potential invasion in Ukraine perhaps represent the possibility of the biggest war in Europe since World War II.
“The White House lobbied the Senate to confirm Gutmann this month because they said she was urgently needed in Germany due to an impending war from Russia,” a former State Department official told Breitbart News.

Nordstream 1 still pumping away!😃
Ambassador Gutmann has temporarily returned to the United States to undertake cross-government consultations on the situation and to complete necessary State Department in-processing...
These are words in the English language but assembled like that carry zero semantic content. A masterpiece.

The phraseology is straight out of 1984’s “duck speak”.
“The intention was to make speech, and especially speech on any subject not ideologically neutral, as nearly as possible independent of consciousness.”
The first thing she would do is Payback Time because you know that angry ‘woke’ bish has kept a list.
Quit griping ; we too are importing gas - was 10% now going to 20% for the anti-pipeline, anti-fracking haters in New England ... From Russia ...

Barry O: “The biggest, hardest, toughest arm including since I last patted Michelle’s. Don’t tell anybody I’m betting a few thousand of children’s hunger foundation money on you in the arm wrestling against her tonight. Official secrets, you know. And watch it. She fights dirty. Always.”
Too bad our MSM is so lame.
This would be an interesting story to see developed.
Willie Brown:
She learned that they have German food there and speak some sort of foreign tongue so she flees home to filet minion, and apple pie where people don’t speak gobbledygook.
Astute observation.
If they go into a restroom now and the Secret Service stands outside with arms folded, look out.
Catfight...
Sho nuff.
Well her father lived the first couple decades of his life in Germany so I assume she had some exposure to German culture.

At first glance it seems extremely petty. What is the backstory?
I think that's State Department speak for recalled. Which is quite an accomplishment after only one week on the job.
The audience at the meetings obviously preferred the ambassador over Harris. “You guys need to remember” Harris certainly has an IQ falling in line just below the potted plants in the lobby. That tends to make people pass you over in favor of someone with some knowledge and intelligence over the subject matter.
Wild guess:
Gutmann was sent with a confidential message for someone in Europe. A message she could not share even with Kamala. The question is taunting: Why pay for a commercial flight when Kamala’s plane was making same trip at same time?
Yeah, most likely a scheduling conflict, aka, a nothingburger.
