Nope! It was a dependent that posted actively for a few weeks demanding respect for her on-base job working at like the family rec center. Someone dug up her tumblr or livejournal where basically every post was about how dependents sacrifice the same as our troops.

I remember this. It was around the time that IDR was outed I think, so it got overshadowed.

And it wasn't even some dependent wife or something. It was some guy who's mom was prior service or something IIRC.

Seems to be a thing, I had a higher ranking chick from another branch (army, actually) try to do the same and I just straight up ignored her. She later went contractor.

Mattis and McMaster are really it. The latter has been really quiet lately. Maybe if he opened his mouth it'd destroy what little respect he might still have.

I think people's expectation of "normal boring government bureaucrat" are skewed.

Besides Mattis and McMaster, I don't think there's anyone in the administration that's not as crooked as a Parkinson's patient drawing of an ampersand, but she's the closest thing to "career bureaucrat" as this administration's going to get because she's actually been in a Cabinet role before.

She's at least smart enough to keep her corruption/incompetence out of public view, unlike everyone else.

Not one reliability normal bureaucrat? A generic married white guy with grown kids who never took a bribe, never groped a staffer, never embezzled or kickbacked no-bid contracts or leaked secrets?

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/12/trump-mueller-meeting-russia-243692

quote:

Donald Trump’s lawyers are open to having the president sit down for an interview with Robert Mueller, according to a senior White House official, as part of a wider posture of cooperation with the special counsel’s Russia probe.

If Mueller doesn’t request an interview by Thanksgiving, Trump’s lawyers might even force the issue by volunteering Trump’s time, the official said. The White House believes such an interview could help Mueller wrap up the probe faster and dispel the cloud of suspicion over Trump.

If his brain really is rapidly turning into swiss cheese it would be in their best interest to give an interview before it got worse and then refuse additional questioning later? About the only reasoning I can come up with without actually knowing anything.
