First Wolfowitz & Now Bolton - Page 3

If I were him I would resign and save myself the grief and humiliation of the media dragging this one out. The only thing that is wrong is that they dated and he helped her out. If they hadn't dated, this wouldn't be newsworthy. What I can't get from this is if they were dating when he made the effort to get her moved to the nice position. Either way, it just smells bad.

What I don't hear in any of this is that she was unqualified for the position or that there were complaints about her perfomance that lead to the uncovering of the help she recieved in getting the job.

Now the interesting question is should they be allowed to let him go. If they have a fraternization policy, then yes, they have grounds. However, remember he got her out of the Bank and into the State Department. This is probably the reason he is staying...they really don't have legal justification to get rid of him. If they do, then he probably has a nice lawsuit on his hands. The smart money would be to demote him and put someone else in his place. Basically, make it really uncomfortable for him and he will leave on his own.

My first inclination is that there is money involved here (it is a bank of course). He truly could have stated and if they forced him out, he had a nice lawsuit and would get paid. I am wondering what his contract said about dismissal... It is probably my pessimistic nature, but I can't help but to feel that a proper golden parachute had to be developed before he would step down. There is no other reason to actually...
