Whatshername Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 But wait... it gets better! Trump Cuts the Fat and the Fat Complains July 22, 2017 BFH The Federalist- Joel Clement, a top climate policy official at the U.S. Department of Interior, has proclaimed himself a whistleblower. What is the grave injustice or illegal activity has he selflessly revealed to the public? Clement is upset that he was involuntarily reassigned to a job that doesn’t have anything to do with his previous work on climate change (he’s now processing royalty checks from fossil fuel companies). But you wouldn’t know it based on the media coverage. Clement declared this week in an op-ed for The Washington Post and an appearance on NPR that his reassignment is the Trump administration’s retaliation against him for speaking out about the danger climate change poses to Alaska Native communities. According to Clement, he raised the issue in multiple forums in the months preceding his reassignment, and “It is clear to me that the administration was so uncomfortable with this work, and my disclosures, that I was reassigned with the intent to coerce me into leaving the federal government.” He’s probably halfway right about that. No doubt Trump’s Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke wants Clement to resign. But it’s not because of his “disclosures” but rather because the climate change work he was doing was a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars. more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
