Washington Post flip-flop: No, the Trump White House did not ‘dissolve’ the pandemic response office

[The Purge]

It has been alleged by multiple officials of the Obama administration, including in The Post, that the president and his then-national security adviser, John Bolton, “dissolved the office” at the White House in charge of pandemic preparedness. Because I led the very directorate assigned that mission, the counterproliferation and biodefense office, for a year and then handed it off to another official who still holds the post, I know the charge is specious.

Now, I’m not naive. This is Washington. It’s an election year. Officials out of power want back into power after November. But the middle of a worldwide health emergency is not the time to be making tendentious accusations.

Fake news. Again.

Only two explanations:

1: They knew the truth and lied.
2: They are so stupid they did not do their homework and do some background checking.

Lying and incompetence - the two pillars of modern DemonRAT journalism.

The offices were consolidated. Sherrod Brown is a buffoon.

One such move at the NSC was to create the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate, which was the result of consolidating three directorates into one, given the obvious overlap between arms control and nonproliferation, weapons of mass destruction terrorism, and global health and biodefense. It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented. If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled.​

One then is led to wonder why the Pandemic Response Office Counterproliferation and Biodefense Office is not leading the response effort. A bit of a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

 

[BluesLegend]

The fake news lied and the liberal regime parroted the lie, is anyone really surprised.

What make you think they're not part of the task force? It's really the NIH and CDCs job to take the lead.
