re: #352 Killgore Trout

Not sure. The last TSA nominee bailed too. I guess people just aren’t willing to go through the nomination process. It gets too ugly. I think Obama is going to have to start doing recess appointments.

from the article….
Questions arose after his nomination about a contract his company had with the government to provide interrogators in Iraq. After the government ended the contract early, in 2004, Harding Security Associates claimed more money from termination of the contract than the Defense Department’s inspector general said it was entitled to get. The firm refunded $1.8 million of that money in a 2008 settlement with the Defense Intelligence Agency.

seems he tried to stiff the feds….haha!…who would do such a thing, and if so, why was he put up for nomination?…is BO vetting these guys?
