Caputo considering "medical leave" or resignation.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/hhs-spokesperson-michael-caputo-weighing-medical-leave-or-resignation-after-issuing-paranoid-armed-insurrection-warning-report/

Michael Caputo, the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Dept. of Health and Human Services, is weighing a medical leave of absence after calling an emergency meeting with staffers Tuesday. The move comes after the former Vladimir Putin advisor launched a paranoid rant on Facebook live video over the weekend, just days after reports revealed he had forced scientists to doctor sacred fact-based reports about the coronavirus to favor President Donald Trump.

Medical Leave? WTF? No way should he be able to do that.

And suddenly everyone's all "Whoa, this guy isn't fit to work in public affairs!" Anticipating the standard-issue excuse for stepping down, any word on whether Caputo's family wants to spend more time with him? Anticipating the Daily News headline: "Caputo kaput-o!"
