Did Rachel just get something wrong? The acting #2 at Homeland Security

[rzemanfl]

is the person who was confirmed as #3, then moved up to fill the vacancy in the #2 slot.


Now she is confusing things more.

1. Well, no.

Her point was that the alleged reason they didn't fire Nielsen earlier was that there was no one in the #2 spot to take her place. There was still no #2 at the time she was fired. What happened after the firing is irrelevant to her point.

2. Claire Grady is the acting deputy secretary as well as the #3.

She, by law, is supposed to be Acting Secretary.

4. See the link in the post above. She apparently is not willing to get out

of the way for Drumpf.

5. ah, thanks, I missed that. So this Claire wants to become the cage lady.

6. I think she just wants to be "Plaintiff." Giving her the benefit

of the doubt.
