Holdren (Science “czar”) isn’t listed and neither are Van Jones or the chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Van Jones’s boss.
All were part of the White House team for some months before this report.
Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel and Gibbs are there ($172k per year) but I’m not seeing most of the “czars.”
I have Crowley (AIDS czar) but am not finding others, especially the ones (like Van Jones) that were president-appointed and don’t appear to be under the umbrella of other departments.
Not saying anything untoward is going on but it is interesting that the “most transparent” report of White House employees (their words on the landing page) is glaringly incomplete - especially given Gibbs’s admission today that Jones works in the White House.
I am thinking that maybe some of these people technically are employed by regulatory agencies (e.g. EPA) but are called czars because of the way they were hired and the nature of their positions.
As for anything untoward going on (such as a few convenient and “accidental” oversights), I wouldnt rule it out.
