So they’re saying the State Department was too stupid to ask the most basic perfunctory question one should and that the ‘transparency czar’ they chose wasn’t very transparent?
Via Daily Caller:
The State Department admitted on Wednesday that it did not know that a career diplomat hired as the agency’s new email and transparency czar donated the maximum allowed under federal law to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Regardless of that potential conflict of interest, agency spokesman John Kirby also acknowledged that the new hire, Janice Jacobs, will likely be involved in processing Clinton’s emails.
Hours after Jacobs’ hiring was announced on Tuesday, it was revealed that she contributed $2,700 to Clinton’s campaign in June.
The donation raises questions over whether Jacobs, who served as a U.S. Ambassador under George W. Bush, is the right person for the new job, given the sensitive political nature of the Clinton emails.
