AP source: Trump, Rubio weigh firing US envoy to Greece after mounting reports of improper conduct

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle after a series of reports alleging she has engaged in improper and possibly illegal conduct before and during her tenure in Athens.

A senior U.S. official said Sunday that Trump and Rubio are “extremely pissed off” by Guilfoyle’s reported conduct and would likely decide on what action to take this week after Monday’s Columbus Day holiday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said Rubio had been particularly angry, not least because he visited Athens just last week and Guilfoyle attended most, if not all, of his events and greeted him on his arrival with a bear hug as the allegations swirled.

Well, we know Donald & Co. don't give a damn about corruption, and in fact, facilitate and profit from all of it themselves. It seems to me that Kimberly's mistake here was that she didn't kick up to the dementia-riddled, self-styled mob boss at the top.
