A senior State Department official’s impressive resume appears to be loaded with exaggerated claims that inflate her credentials and experience, according to reports.

NBC News claims that Mina Chang, a deputy assistant secretary in the State Department's Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations, also faked an issue of Time magazine with her face on the cover and made false claims about graduating from Harvard University and her appointment to a nonexistent position with the United Nations, among other misleading lines in her State Department biography and LinkedIn experience.

The broadcaster says she also claimed to have testified before Congress and addressed both Republican and Democrat conventions, though there is no evidence to support those claims.

Neither Ms Chang nor the State Department responded to The Independent's requests for comment.

1. In the days of instant information access isn't...

...faking credentials the height of stupidity?

in some of his clubs.

2. She fits right in

As a con artist and a grifter.

3. I'm kind of impressed

It really took some chutzpah. But then so does much fraud and running a scam. That’s despicable.

Even worse is she got away with it. It’s not as if the government is not a huge target for espionage and malfeasance. How did she get so far?

In any other administration this would be a huge scandal. No one will remember in a week.

4. Well she is pretty

So it doesn't count.

5. It's much worse than that

Mina ia a pop singer with no qualifications.
I'd like to know if there is a Moonie connection.
