36. Emily Murphy's letter is defensive as hell.

Nov 2020

In true trumpian fashion, she spends most of her time in the letter talking about herself and how hard the experience has been for her, as well as finding excuses to push away blame. Her protests that she received no pressure from the Executive Branch were unnecessary, letting all of us know that it's very likely that's exactly what happened. She has the nerve to close the letter with comments regarding Biden's requirements in receiving services and funds from GSA.

Good riddance when she's gone, and I hope she is never given a position of any authority or significance again. Wow.
