What Is The Nancy Faeser 'Scandal'?

 Well....back around 2016, the Merkel coalition appointed a guy by the name of Arne Schonholm to the national job of Chief of German Federal Office of Information Security.  

There, Arne sat until 2022.

So in 2022....an event unfolded....(mid-October).

Arne was accused of 'close relations' with the Russians.  Nancy Faeser looked at various accusations, and fired the guy.

The problem is....as days and weeks passed....just about all  of the accusations failed to become reality.

In the public view....'bullying' has now popped up and Faeser has been asked to explain things at the Bundestag-level.  

Bad judgement?  All she'd (Nancy Faeser) has to do.....is present some solid evidence that did something incompetent.  At present?  It appears that she can only prove her own incompetence.

Where this is leading onto?  There's some damages chatter, and it's possible that the government will have to pay the guy up to retirement.  

Faeser's end?  It's interesting.  She's leading the SPD Hessen state election business, and in some ways.....she's probably hurting their vote situation to some degree.  Some folks (small number) think that she's washed-up and by the end of 2023.....will resign.  

The rush to judgement angle?  It's a constant fear now......most of the VIP-government folks don't want to linger on people and conduct a full-blown investigation.  Once a problem pops up.....a lot of these folks want to dump the guy or gal involved.
