She has zero remorse - but all this has upset her significantly because (in her stupid mind) she didn't expect the blowback.

Of course, you don't need to be an amateur signature reader to see all that.

Her's is pathetic, small, and narrow.

Nowhere does she discuss the importance of an orderly transition to the benefit of our country and its citizens/residents. That is her only job, and she is an idiot for writing about all the "threats" she has received, probably all of which are from the Poor Boys etc.

She sees herself as an authority figure almost beyond question - like a self-important school principal, you know?

But this whole fracas has really come as a surprise to her, since she obviously thought no one would notice.

What I'd tell Biden's people (not that they need to be told) is: keeping pressing and pushing her buttons; she may act adamant - but she's very worried about her fat ass right now.

She's starting to feel she'll be the next one Cheeto throws under the bus.

(Poor bus!)

It is also self-serving. Check out how many times "Mal-Administrator" Murphy uses the word "I" in this letter.

All she had to say was pursuant to blah blah it is my honor to release funds.

Dear Ms. Murphy,

Thank you for your explanation.

You should start working on your resume.

Sincerely,

Aside from the two parts she got right:
Biden is apparent winner, the act needs clarification (because of people like her).

That was pretty much a abject lesson of how not to write an official government document if you want to look like a functional adult.

and making the other mandated resources and personnel available. All the rest is highly inappropriate, unprofessional, and downright crass. She has not done herself any favors in her search for her next job by sending out this ridiculously self-serving missive.
