Regent Elon Musk must be livid and the President is probably turning purple as shoddy vetting by the president’s legal team and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) led to embarrassment of the President.  No, we are not talking about DOGE staff Marko Elez, who this past September posted on social media “Normalize Indian Hate,” and last July posted “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.”  Nor do I mean Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, accused of spousal abuse, being drunk on the job and financial mismanagement of veteran’s associations.  I mean Danielle Sassoon, a Republican serving as interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York who resigned after refusing Trump’s Department of Justice Interim Deputy Director Emil Bove’s order to drop charges of political corruption against the sitting mayor of New York City for purely political, not evidentiary, or legal reasons.  How did the OPM vetting miss that Sassoon possessed two qualities absolutely anathema to Trump and loathed by Musk: Integrity and Spine.
