OUTRAGEOUS: TILLERSON APPROVED OBAMA IRAN PROPAGANDA!
State Department approved anti-Trump articles by pro-Iran deal official
Nowrouzzadeh’s determined anti-Trump posture has raised a national spotlight on the civil service protections granted to government bureaucrats. Career government officials can attack the president in national media and still retain their positions in government. In fact, Conservative Review has found other instances in which Trump State Department officials have attacked the president in a public forum and faced little or no consequence for their actions. Even given their public assaults on the commander in chief, it is extremely difficult to fire government bureaucrats. Even if they commit great offenses, civil service employees are guaranteed a lengthy review process that puts a heavy burden on the American taxpayer.
The State Department is one of the most partisan government agencies, if not the most. According to Federal Election Commission data, over 99 percent of 2016 campaign contributions from State Department employees went to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
After the State Department confirmed that it was involved in the review process for the Nowrouzzadeh articles, it failed to respond to multiple inquiries about which State Department office, and which official specifically, signed off on the series of anti-Trump articles written by a government employee.
