JTN: President Joe Biden on Monday fired Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton following allegations he misused government resources and was not present on Capitol grounds when the Jan. 6 protest occurred, a White House official said.
“After doing our due diligence, the architect of Capitol was terminated at the president’s direction,” the White House official said, according to CNN. Congressional Democrats and Republicans called for his resignation or termination. MORE
I thot that kind of “responsible” individual was what the admin specifically hired..I mean, CRIPES, look at the rest of ’em
Pelosi was responsible for it all. Personally.
But Pete Butthead continues scorched earth.
So the big guy didn’t get his 10% now he’s out.
Well sheeeeit, an we do the same to President Brain Dead and his compadres?
His family took a govt car for ‘out of town’ trips. They really wanted to get rid of this guy.
What value would an architect provide even he was on the Capitol grounds on January 6th?
Sues Nancy in 3, 2, 1…
@joe6pak: He could have fought back with his T-Square.
Maybe he’s firing the architect but thats just a distraction from everything else.
You built that Joe! I’ve got the stickers.
“But Pete Butthead continues scorched earth.”
Speaking of agency heads who are never around to do their jobs.
And WTF is the Architect of the Capitol, anyway?
…still doing what they can to keep Jan6 in the news.
I worked for the Architect of the Capitol.
He heads up the building, maintenance, construction, remodeling, and the staff which oversees the operations of the House, Senate, Capitol, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress.
It was a lifetime tenure until George White, who was appointed by Nixon, and the Congress demanded a 25 year term (a “Fuck You” to Nixon). Then after White, when Alan Hantman was appointed, the term was reduced to 10 years.
The original lifetime tenure was supposed to be so the criminals in Congress couldn’t threaten the Architect or make inordinate demands.
The Capitol Visitors Center was half a $Billion over budget because of the demands of powerful CongressCriminals – NOT because of mishandling by Hantman.
The Architect of the Capitol was established in 1793.
I think the Capitol Police are under the Sergeant at Arms – if so, he couldn’t have done shit on J-6.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Oh, the US Botanic Garden is under the Architect, as well.
Probably some other stuff I don’t know about.
Side note: Blanton was appointed by President Trump – which explains everything.
You really have to be a fock up to be fired by Joey Depends..
^^^ No you don’t. You just have to be ‘unreliable’ (not on board with Democrat corruption and wokeness)
