> None of Patel's actions cited in this article are a crime, but I'll bet this article of hers could become useful in Patel's defamation suit.
It may not be a crime to be at your job own job too, anonymousiam, but if you regularly showed up for work drunk and other people had to pick up the slack, I would hazard to guess you would be fired.
But when you're the Director of the FBI, the two ways to be fired are (a) by the President, or (b) by Congress. Very (politically) difficult to do.
Is the US taxpayer entitled to know if their taxes are being used to pay the salary for someone who regularly goes on alcoholic benders?
