I am trying to find out more about this guy - Don Berthiaume. He is a career government lawyer.

It seems that yesterday the grifter said he is nominating him for the position permanently - Senate confirmation will be required. Interesting. Does that mean he has shown he will play the game? Probably.

I read an article that said whistleblowers at DOJ are not getting response from the Inspector General's office. Of course!
