    "State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert withdrew herself from consideration to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Saturday, saying in a statement that “it is in the best interest of my family.” Behind the scenes, her nomination faced complications because Nauert hired a foreign-born nanny about 10 years ago who didn’t have the proper work visa and Nauert didn’t pay proper taxes on time, according to two officials involved in her nomination process.

    President Trump announced his intent to nominate Nauert to be America’s top diplomat at the United Nations this past December, but he never officially sent the nomination over to the Senate for consideration. That’s because her security investigation was delayed while the administration tried to figure out how to deal with the revelation that Nauert had hired the nanny despite the nanny’s lack of a proper work visa, and the fact that Nauert didn’t pay taxes on the nanny at that time, the officials said."

    Trump promises to hire our smartest and our best.

    Not that the Repug position on immigration is riddled with hypocrisy or anything!

    This by itself does not rise to the level of impeachment, obviously.
    It's more troubling that Republicans seem to not have the stomach for impeaching Trump no matter what he says or does.

    So you are accusing her of being a closet Democrat?

    Good thing we outed her before Dems approved her.

    She was suggested to him, he vetted her, he found skeletons, he asked for her to withdraw.

    Meanwhile Pelosi runs her entire winery on slave labor illegals.

    How come no one's blaming the maid? If you've ever played Clue, you know that the butler did it.

    The way real administrations do it, they vet before they appoint, not after.

    Who would want to work for Trump while being told to sign a loyalty oath not to the Constitution but to Trump? Let me clarify that, who with an above average IQ would want to do so?

    You've gotta be a real numb nut to vet after the fact.
