Resigning Left and Right - At Least Left

Another Trump panel has taken a hit after eight out of 28 of its members resigned en masse. Members of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), which advises Homeland Security on matters of cybersecurity, have dropped out of the panel due to several reasons. In the resignation letter obtained by NextGov, they said the president doesn't give enough attention to the country's cyber vulnerabilities. "You have given insufficient attention to the growing threats to the cybersecurity of the critical systems upon which all Americans depend, including those impacting the systems supporting our democratic election process," the letter reads.

The members, who were appointed under the previous administration, resigned just before the panel was supposed to hold its quarterly business meeting.

A White House rep told The Hill that the panel is fine despite its loss. The remaining members continued their quarterly meeting and approved a report on cybersecurity vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure.

In fact, it will be even BETTER without them.

When is Congress going to get the message? Trump is not fit to be president.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
