The outgoing Obama White House directed all U.S. ambassadors who are political appointees to resign their posts as of Inauguration Day, January 20. This guy didn't go. And yet...
“That is common, typical practice,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said Friday, and he confirmed that ambassadors who are career members of the U.S. Foreign Service — about 70 percent of the top American envoys abroad — were not asked to offer their resignations. “The politically appointed ambassadors are being pulled back because they are the representatives of the outgoing administration” of President Barack Obama, according to the president of the American Academy of Diplomacy, Ronald Neumann. “When you are a political appointee for this or any other administration, you have no expectation of staying beyond the inauguration of the new administration,” Kirby said.
Further, just this past April, Trump came out with strong Baltic region support, saying We are very protective of the Baltic region… We have great friends there.
This guy did a diplomatic tour of duty in Russia. This may be a stretch, and yea maybe he decided it's time to double-dip and join a liberal think-tank...but maybe he was on a few cables that suggest DNC collusion, and he was offered a choice of retirement or indictment?
President Trump sure can flush out the LIB debris. This bum should have left 33 years ago. Good riddance to this loser.
