When discussing Emily Murphy, it's worth mentioning that her explicit dereliction of duty at GSA allowed foreign governments to bribe the president (sorry, "stay at his hotel" without their spending being tracked by GSA.

Consider her role in dealing with litigation, re: 'Emoluments' clause, some/much/all of which was related to $$$$ into/out of trump's DC property, like his 'hotel' which is 'leased,' I think, by trump, from the U.S. govt and/or DC THROUGH GSA.
AND the 'kerfuffle' about FBI building/re-building/moving it, into which trump stuck his nose. Emily may have more matters than are visible, with trump.

"The only thing I know is what Ive read in the paper" - in what universe is this an excuse for not knowing about crucial aspects of your own job? This isn't a lack of curiosity; it's deliberately looking the other way.
