NOAA’s satellites division chief Steve Volz agency deputy general counsel Jeff Dillen, who in 2019 were tasked with investigating then-and-now-again Trump ballsucker Acting Administrator Neil Jacob’s actions after the Sharpiegate debacle have been placed on leave from the agency in what this CNN article doesn’t actually just say the pretty fucking obvious: that it’s political retribution.
“It’s an interesting coincidence that less than a week before Neil Jacob’s senate committee vote, the two dedicated career civil servants who investigated him for scientific integrity violations around Sharpiegate were dismissed from service,” one former NOAA official is quoted to do that work that CNN, like so much of the rest our emasculated news media, won’t just do in their actual reporting.
