...it’s been awhile.

Trolling through emails looking for DNC/Media collaboration. Didn’t take long. Am I already drinking too much, or is it just this easy? Maybe small potatoes, but FWIW...

#4351 RE: Confirmation - The MSNBC After Party - Saturday, April 30th

Jonathan Beeton receives “exclusive” invite on his personal gmail account, addressed “To: Debbie Wasserman Schultz”, to attend MSNBC after-party following White House Correspondents’ Dinner(?). Forwards same directly to DWS “From my Fire” (yeah, I know what it really means, but...ewwwww), to which DWS replies “We need to make sure we have Ryan on the list to attend with me. This invite is only confirming me.”

Now Mr. Beeton proudly states on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-beeton-36b97447) that he has been the “Communications Adviser to the Chair” of the DNC from 2011 to “present”, BUT he also just as proudly states in LeadershipDirectories (http://www.leadershipdirectories.com/profiles/Jonathan-Beeton-Dir-Communications-Office-of-the-Assistant-.htm) that he is the “Director, Communications Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of the Deputy Secretary, United States Department of Health and Human Services [HHS]” (where he does say his DNC gig ended in 2014). At least since March 9, 2015 (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiWjpKbkojOAhUEzoMKHaR4At0QFggvMAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pihoa.org%2Ffullsite%2Fnewsroom%2Fwpdownloads%2FHHS-Region-IX-update-to-57th-PIHOA-mtg-revisedfinal_forPIHOA.pptx&usg=AFQjCNE2zOGKG9pbsIhBRyIyau0eK8CqjQ&bvm=bv.127984354,d.amc)when he was in an org chart from a an HHS conference in Palau.

So is he currently BOTH (conflict of interest, anyone?)? And if not, why is he still acting as a liason (again...ewwwww) for a DNC official while employed by the FedGov? (still a COI, but probably not in the “mind” of a DIM)?

Inquiring minds want to know. At the very least, update your LinkedIn, Mr Beeton!
