(7,715 posts)ALL, and I mean ALL, of this stinks to the high heavens. I found it odd he was leaving in the first instance particularly given the timing (meaning the issues the SS is facing). There was a claim that this had been in the works for a long time, but the timing is, at best, coincidental.
Snapchat may have "asked" him not to join.

(42,399 posts)The Director of Homeland Security should be the one to decide whether he stays or goes. (Also President Biden)
Just sayin'

(13,913 posts)he allowed to delay his own retirement? He & those loyal to him need to be ousted ASAP. Take away all their systems access so they can't further corrupt/remove info. Alot of cleanup after that as well to ensure the rot is gone. This is so dangerous they've been allowed to stay at their jobs.
Followup: just read here Biden & Mayorkas agreed to him staying - doesn't say for how long. WTF??!!!!

"Murray wrote in his note that he spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and White House leadership and they agreed to extend his July 30 retirement date."
