Gov. Whitmer to CNN on whether Barr knew about threats against her: "If he didn't, he's incompetent. The fact of the matter is, I have raised this very issue with this White House and asked them to bring the heat down ... I asked for their help and they didn't do a darn thing."

I cannot even imagine what she's been dealing with, between her RWNJ legislature and the RWNJ's who want to kill her. Oh, yeah, and the POTUS, who is instigating the terrorists.

Nonfeasance is the failure to act where action is required—willfully or in neglect.
Misfeasance is the willful inappropriate action or intentional incorrect action or advice.
Malfeasance is the willful and intentional action that injures a party.
