Vazquez (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side
with my Democrat GAO superiors and the adverse actions that they took against
me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their
dupes. I would focus on past and present members of the Milton Township
Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois
Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce,
Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political
Consultants Midwest Chapter. I would focus on past and present employees of
Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who claim to be
religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/joseph-vazquez/2020/01/20/shocker-nonpartisan-gaos-union-overwhelmingly-supports-dems
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
Government Accountability Office (GAO) said Jan. 16 that President Donald Trump
broke the law when he withheld aid from Ukraine. The union for that
“independent, nonpartisan” agency naturally supports Democrats. Just don’t
expect the media to tell you about it. The GAO calls itself an “independent,
nonpartisan” congressional agency. Liberal outlets, continuing the media-driven
impeachment crusade, gave full credence to the GAO’s self-proclaimed
“nonpartisan” status. The GAO Employees Organization and its bureaucrats are
currently represented by the International Federation of Professionals and
Technical Engineers (IFPTE), AFL-CIO & CLC, a labor union that represents
workers in both the U.S. and Canada. Here’s the problem: IFPTE’s political
action committee gave 100 percent of its political contributions ($36,250) to
Democratic candidates in 2016, 89 percent of its political contributions
($61,950) to Democratic candidates in 2018, and currently 75 percent of its
political contributions ($26,900) to Democratic candidates for the 2020
electoral cycle. The GAO Employees Organization, “the union and professional
association” of GAO bureaucrats, stated in its website that it “is an affiliate
of IFPTE, designated as IFPTE Local 1921, named after the year GAO was
created.” If your credibility as an agency hinges on you being “independent,
nonpartisan,” why do your bureaucrats choose to be represented by a union
that’s overtly partisan? Moreover, why are liberal media outlets ignoring this?
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page assistant editor James Freeman wrote a
Jan. 17 op-ed acknowledging the IFPTE donations in 2016, and said this raises a
“reasonable question about the use of the term ‘nonpartisan’” when referencing
the GAO. No kidding? The Los Angeles Times editorial board published an entire
puff piece Jan. 17, headlined: “Editorial: Unlike Lev Parnas, the GAO has no
credibility problem. It also says Trump broke the law.” In the piece, The LA
Times Editorial Board called the agency “resolutely nonpartisan.” No mention of
the GAO-IFPTE connection, nor the latter’s apparent political bias was found in
the piece. But The LA Times wasn’t the only outlet to ignore this connection.
The New York Times, in its Jan. 16 report on the GAO’s assessment of the
Trump-Ukraine issue, also touted that “The accountability office is an
independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress.” No mention of the
GAO-IFPTE connection in The Times piece. Politico also, in a Jan. 16 report,
referred to the GAO as “an independent nonpartisan government watchdog that
responds to congressional requests,” without mentioning it’s union’s
affiliation with the IFPTE or the IFPTE PAC’s history of giving vastly
disproportionate amounts of cash to Democrats. The Washington Post published a
piece on Jan. 16, where they were sure to note the GAO’s independence in a
sub-headline: “The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office severely
undermines a core Trump impeachment defense” [emphasis added]. No mention of
the GAO-IFPTE connection in that Post piece, however. Pleading for the
president’s impeachment is all that matters at this point for the liberal
media. And if haphazardly saying the partisanly-suspect GAO is “independent”
and “nonpartisan” does the trick, c’est la vie.)
