He represents & speaks on behalf of the government & to the people. He represents the ethics, values, & commitment to transparency of the government to the American people, not party. He is not required to lie for him & if ordered to do so he could resign 😑 Don’t let Jordan gets away with this Cummings? They’re all protecting each other. iMovie
