— Republican Senators Tried to Stop Trump From Firing Impeachment Witness A
handful of senators reached out to the White House to warn the president not to
dismiss Gordon D. Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union who testified
in the House hearings. But Mr. Trump went ahead anyway. – Peter Baker, Michael
S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman (DIERSEN: It would have been great if my
Republican elected officials had stopped my Democrat GAO superiors from a)
forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, giving me unfair
performance expectations and appraisals, always ranking me in the bottom half
of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting me beyond
GS-13, getting rid of my mentor in 1987, keeping me off audits of IRS for all
but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take a
$20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.
It would have been great if my Republican elected officials had stopped my
Democrat IRS superiors from a) not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my
education deductions in 1978, getting rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowing
my partial day per diem claims in 1974. It would have been great if my
Republican elected officials had stopped my Democrat Post Office superiors from
forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and
1968.)
