Definitely. The House needs to hold the whole crew in the admin accountable because they only find out about stuff when the see it on CNN or read it in the Slimes. That was excellent of Farenthold.

I always wonder when the government officials and mouthpieces talk about not being informed about subjects relating to their part of the government. I worked for the Bureau of Prisons until 2003 and during my 26 years with the bureau, the Director in Washington had an information office as do all other agencies in the executive branch. The info office had offices in all 6 regions of the country and they each collected all news articles from all over the country that had any possible interest to the bureau, things like escapes court cases about old or future inmates of notoriety or happenings in other correctional areas that might affect the bureau. This information was compiled for the Monday morning briefings in all of the regions and provided to keep the directors and wardens up to date sometimes it was only 20-30 pages sometimes 80+. All executive staff read and passed on needed information to the wardens so none were caught off guard by reporters or others questions. I know that now it is far easier to gather the information and sort it as important or not. Only a lazy bastard would not be informed on all issues and some one that did not like to attend daily briefings etc.
They all get the information what they do with it is up to them.
