has no investigative or oversight experience and faces a slew of potential conflicts of interest, according to an internal State Department email, lawmakers and agency sources.
He said inspector generals are supposed to be completely independent of the agencies they oversee, but Akard is a Trump political appointee and part of the State Department's management team. It comes as the Inspector General's office is investigating two highly contentious matters that touch directly on Pompeo's actions: allegations that he used a State Department employee to run personal errands for himself and his wife, and questions about the State Department's decision to greenlightAt Pompeo's urging, President Donald Trump announced on May 15 that he was firingDemocrats in Congress have accused Pompeo of trying to shield himself from Linick's inquiries.
He told them he was not"here to stop anything or upset the apple cart," this person said. But when pressed about his dual roles – and the fact that Bulatao is his supervisor – his answer was not reassuring. A senior State Department official said no matter what firewalls are put in place, Akard will still be conflicted.
A third State Department staffer said they are 'well aware' of Akard's potential conflicts, but said 'we're going to solve it.'
If thumpturd then he’s a lapdog.
Somebody needs to inspect trumps friendship with epstein some more.
His continued assault on America. No law. He employs lap-dogs. People that do not investigate, turn a blind eye and enable him to break the law at will. Then, he stymies Congress by refusing to send anyone to testify. He runs the government like a gangster. GOP ignores it.
I really HOPE that new members of Congress and Senate next year pass multiple laws to further strengthen separation of powers and give more oversight on Presidential appointments. This is just ridiculous and obviously too many conflicts of interest.

Officials blame 'out-of-state' agitators but those at the heart of protests are homegrownThe “out-of-state agitator” narrative — a simple, tidy explanation for recent protest violence — is not supported by evidence in the public record and on social media, USA TODAY found. I blame animal like behavior and low IQ's! WRONG!!!! Comment from Colorado Republican message board: Are we back to those dastardly tactics against the antiwar protestors of the 1960s?

Barr claims protests were 'hijacked' as authorities point to out-of-state actors\nAttorney General William Barr said that the investigation into the death of George Floyd was moving at “exceptional speed' but took aim at some of the protesters who have been gathering in response to the incident. The police in America have committed murder for to many years. God has a commandment thou shalt not murder. Wait and see what happens at the 2nd coming of CHRIST and GOD. Why don’t more people try to become police officers? Get people with higher morals into the police force.

THE DEMOCRATS BUSSED PEOPLE IN TO PARTICIPATE IN RIOTS! They are covering something up. Maybe the Flynn case, maybe corona, maybe twitter... who knows. Lets stop the rioting and get justice for Mr. Floyd in the proper way. Let's pass legislation that will help stop police murders I hate that these out of state groups come in and destroy cities when the people who live there are the ones who suffer. They don't care. These are radical fools who just want to cause chaos. How do we stop them? TRUMP FOLLOWERS!
