Phyllis Fong had told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her on Friday

Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her on Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.

In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent council of the inspectors general on integrity and efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time”.

      I actually worked with a guy that really hated Stephen Colbert. He was disgusting in many ways, early alt-right. One day I realized that he wasn’t mad about Colbert mocking conservatives, he actually believed it was an honest conservative political show. He loved The Colbert Report. He took it at face value. So when Colbert “came out” as a liberal it broke his heart. He thought the guy turned his back on his ideology for money.

      I could not convince him that the Colbert Report was satire. These people really exist.
