Eric Swalwell’s Mile-High Tale Is As INSUFFERABLY HILARIOUS As You’d Imagine
December 15, 2018I stand entirely by our President. I’ve been very clear about this.
But I have to admit, I am NOT a fan of the revolving door around his presidency.
Trump claims to hire all the best people… but there’s no doubt in my mind there have been some absolutely DISASTROUS hires. (Omarosa, anyone?)
This morning, he announced the latest head on the chopping block.
Secretary of the Interior @RyanZinke will be leaving the Administration at the end of the year after having served for a period of almost two years. Ryan has accomplished much during his tenure and I want to thank him for his service to our Nation…….

…….The Trump Administration will be announcing the new Secretary of the Interior next week.

BUH BYE. Of course… we’ve been expecting this. President Trump told reporters at a post-Election Day White House press conference on Nov. 7 that Zinke might be on his way out.
President Trump announced Saturday that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke will be stepping down from his post at the end of the year, amid a number of ethics controversies facing Zinke.
Bloomberg News, which first reported Zinke’s resignation, reported that candidates who could replace him could include David Bernhardt, Zinke’s deputy, as well as former Nevada Sen. Dean Heller, and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
Zinke, a former Montana congressman and U.S. Navy Seal, had been dogged by ethics complaints related to his travel as well as a real estate deal in his home state involving a foundation he created and the chairman of the energy giant Halliburton that does business with Interior.
Multiple media reports have indicated the Interior Department’s watchdog, Inspector General Mary Kendall, has referred that probe to the Justice Department for possible criminal charges.
The 57-year-old Zinke also raised ethical concerns when he blocked two Connecticut tribes from opening a casino and redrew boundaries to shrink a Utah national monument. Kendall’s team cleared Zinke in a separate probe into his air travel, faulted him for violating department regulations when he allowed his wife to ride in government vehicles, and said there were insufficient records to determine whether Zinke’s staff re-assignments broke policy.
Thoughts?
