Series of stumbles at hearings prompts $545K witness training contract
After suffering through a striking number of rough grillings at the hands of Congress, State Department officials have approved a contract worth up to $545,000 to help train themselves for how to brief lawmakers and to testify at hearings.
The contract with Orlando, Florida-based AMTIS, Inc. includes classes entitled “Communicating with Congress: Briefing and Testifying” and pays for one-on-one sessions to hold a mock hearing with questioners playing the role of lawmakers asking hard questions of the would-be witnesses.

ReplyDeleteOr they might consider the novel tactic and approach (to OweBama appointees) of just telling the truth!
Pay for a course to teach them how to lie? How convenient!
ReplyDeleteHow about just telling the truth??
De-fund that act!!!
ReplyDeleteMost of them were lawyers right? Do they really need to learn how to testify?
ReplyDeleteAnd Pelosi tells us over and over again that there is nothing to cut from the budget?
ReplyDeleteFor $200,000, I'd give them a course they could complete in less than 5 minutes AND serve the taxpayers well. Its called "tell the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth".
As SO MANY of you sheep keep saying, "if you haven't done anything wrong, why worry?"
The person who signed off on this expenditure should be TERMINATED for misuse of public funds.
Hanging them outside the Congressional Building from a street lamp for a few days would be an added bonus (for the taxpayers) and might serve as a good example (and a good start).
