The top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability wants answers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about why its public records staff was gutted on April 1, when thousands of federal health agency workers were fired.
Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Democrat from Virginia, sent a letter to CDC’s acting director Dr. Susan Monarez on Thursday, expressing “concern” about the 22 staffers who handled and fulfilled public records requests being placed on administrative leave until their jobs are eliminated on June 2. Their work has been mandated by Congress since the 1960s under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA.
It’s cool if they gut healthcare as long as there’s some kind of explanation. I feel so much better with the dems demanding this. \s
Why? It’s clear no one’s going to jail over it. The US has had a two tiered legal system for a long time. This administration is just the latest manifestion.
The worst they’ll get of they crash the economy us a bank bail out.
Uh oh! Have they Run this through the DNC Leadership yet? After all we wouldn’t want to do LITERALLY ANYTHING TO HELP OUR CONSTITUENTS! HELPING our Constituents is a BAD plan!
