Joel Clement was one of the Department of Interior scientists pushed aside by the Trump-Zinke Mismanagement Team (a good summary here). In Clement’s case he was slotted into a meaningless “advisory” position where I’m sure Zinke and his paymasters hoped Clement would never be heard from again. A few days ago Clement resigned and his letter calling out Zinke (and Trump) can be read here.
While Clement’s case barely budges the scandalmeter, we need to keep in mind that these “micro-outrages” are happening all over our government and in aggregate are just as damaging as whatever scandals grab the daily headlines.
