WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says K.T. McFarland has withdrawn from consideration to be ambassador to Singapore.
Trump issued a statement Friday. He said McFarland served his administration “with distinction” and said Democrats “chose to play politics rather than move forward with a qualified nominee for a critically important post.”
McFarland is a former deputy national security adviser in the Trump administration and former Fox News analyst. She was nominated in May. After the Republican-majority Senate did not act on the nomination by the end of last year, McFarland was re-nominated in January.
McFarland’s nomination was in doubt amid questions about her communications with ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn.
This will save Mueller having to wait for her diplomatic credentials to be rescinded. And no extradition!
All the best people, all the time.
Only the best, most beautiful rats… (scurrying away)
It would have been amusing to see her get busted for chewing gum in a place where it is banned.
She would’ve had diplomatic immunity. So her punishment for chewing gum would’ve been being declared persona non grata.
Let the punishment fit the crime. LOL
And the public whipping with a cane.
