Q?: Why has the media not interviewed Admiral Tim Ziemer?

[Grins]

He was the head of the National Security Council’s office for global health security, in the White House - until Trump fired him in May of 2018.

Lots of talk and print about Trump and that firing, but I have yet to see him interviewed on 60-Minutes, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, Meet the Press, Face the Nation, etc. *

So why..?

* Gee. I left out Fox. For obvious reasons.

1. He was head of World Relief

An Evangelical Christian aid site. He probably agrees politically with the GOP. He was previously a Bush II appointee. Maybe his primary goal is to get that 6th GOP Supreme Court justice seated and take away reproductive rights.

“All the organizations fighting malaria work more closely than they did eight years ago,” said Ray Chambers, the private equity investor and co-founder of Malaria No Morewho is now the United Nations Secretary General’s Special Envoy for Malaria. “I think that’s due in no small part to Tim and his personality. He’s not seeking individual credit and he works for the team — but his trains run on time.”...(more)
