> allegations of running a “bait and switch” scheme in his time-shares
UNIX time sharing system is the only nice time-share I've ever heard of, so I struggle to even think of a timeshare that's a bad deal as a bait and switch...
* Kash Patel [..] wants to live part-time in Las Vegas and work remotely, far away from FBI headquarters in Washington.
* Kash Patel lives at a home owned by Michael Muldoon, they took a golf trip together to Scotland when Patel was a federal employee on the National Security Council, which could be an ethics violation.
I've heard somewhere that the ex-CEO of the healthcare company that committed the biggest healthcare fraud in US history (and was paid tens on millions for doing it) is employed by the whitehouse, is that true? Because if it is, they should look at him and his company first.
In April 2019, Federal officials charged Philip Esformes, 48 years old, of paying and receiving kickbacks and bribes in the then largest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history. The fraud took place between 2007 until 2016 and involved about $1.3 billion worth of fraudulent claims. Esformes was described as "a man driven by almost unbounded greed,".
Does that mean he gets a link to access all the classified data, from home?
Kash: I'm working from home, I need to access these databases.
FBI: They are highly classified and sensitive, you can only access them from the office because they are on an air-gapped system.
Kash: Connect it to the internet so I can access it from home.
So I guess there is no return to office for appointees.
Makes sense, he’s probably committing a lot of crimes so he can investigate that from home.
Rules for thee, not for me.
Uh oh. He's going to butt heads with president Ketamine over that one

Which component do you want to bet is fake?

Should stay. HN has a very strong opinion on WFH regardless of politics.
> It seems that the appearance of corruption is not a barrier to working in the Trump administration
Maybe they're using litotes here, but it seems that kind of corruption is actively being sought out.

I heard someone refer to Trump's cabinet as a Suicide Squad, a deliberate collection of the worst people.
That's also typically referred to as a kakistocracy.
