PARK SERVICE ISSUES INVESTIGATION RESULTS OVER INAUGURAL PHOTO ALTERATION CLAIMS
Investigative Report of Questionable Actions Allegedly Taken by NPS Officials During the 2017 Presidential Inauguration
Create Date:
Monday, June 26, 2017
We initiated an investigation after receiving a complaint concerning questionable actions allegedly taken by National Park Service (NPS) officials and employees during and after the 58th presidential inauguration ceremony at the National Mall on January 20, 2017. The complainant alleged the following:
That an NPS National Mall and Memorial Parks (NAMA) official instructed NPS employees to alter records related to crowd size estimates for the inauguration ceremony
That two NPS public affairs employees released information to the press, without authorization, about a January 21, 2017 phone call from President Donald Trump to Acting NPS Director Michael Reynolds
That one of the public affairs employees circumvented the NPS chain of command for the inauguration when responding to a request from Reynolds (although the complainant did not know what Reynolds requested, we determined that Reynolds asked the public affairs employee to help obtain inauguration photographs after the President requested them during the January 21 phone call)
That a NAMA employee assigned to the inauguration engaged in personal activities at work that interfered with the performance of his duties
***We did not find evidence to substantiate any of these allegations. All of the witnesses we interviewed denied that the NAMA official instructed staff to alter records for the inauguration or to remove crowd size information. We also found no evidence that the public affairs employees released any information to the media about the Presidents phone call, or that the employee who responded to Reynolds request for photos was required to go through the chain of command. Regarding the final allegation, the NAMA employees supervisor and an official who oversaw operations at the inauguration both said that the NAMA employee fulfilled his responsibilities as assigned during the event.***
We provided our report on this investigation to the Acting NPS Director.

(82,849 posts)During the early Clinton years, they brought Socks the Cat to the White House, and had a little fun and educational opportunity for the youngsters with Socks' Club for Kids or something. They sent out a little newsletter to kids who signed up it with facts about the White House and apocryphal doings of Socks around the place. In addition, "Socks" sent out holiday cards, which the Republicans (newly in control of the House) investigated to be sure that no public money was being expended on this obviously partisan propaganda. They had hearings, took testimony, and issued a report that grudgingly conceded that taxpayer money hadn't been wasted on this entertainment/educational program.
These fuckers never miss a chance to train their beady little eyes on someone else's "wrongdoing." But the Trump campaign coordinating with our good friends the Russians to steal the 2016 election is totally legit.

(2,120 posts).... since this putrid little asshole thinks he can run around shrieking like a spoiled fucking brat that any fact he doesn't like is "fake news." And the mindless, dishonest shitstains that worship him will dutifully repeat it.
God, these people are sickening. I just hope he gets so worked up that he drops dead of a heart attack. A screaming, agonizing heart attack, preferably on his gold toilet, that results in him toppling over and shattering his skull on the floor.
