The 'Fire Fauci Act'? Here's what QAnon's favorite Republican doesn't understand about federal employment law

The end result is that any government official would find it near impossible to fire Fauci or reduce his salary without compelling evidence of poor performance or conduct.
Greene is correct that Fauci is the highest paid federal employee at $434,312 per year — out-earning even the president — but such high salaries are the purpose of the RF appointment authority.
Medical experts are considered high-value personnel that are in demand across the public and private sectors. In order for employees to earn more than the usual $275,000 pay cap for such positions, the secretary of the agency must issue an approval based on the employee's qualifications and value to the agency.
And Fauci has established himself as a high-value employee.
Even outside of his public fame in spearheading much of the U.S. COVID-19 response, Fauci is the 35th most-cited living researcher based on Google Scholar. He was the architect of the U.S. HIV/AIDS relief program, has made significant contributions to the field of immunology and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work in 2008.
Green's proposed legislation highlights the intended purpose of federal employment law in the first place: to protect career employees from the tides of political opinion or motivation.

as if anyone in DC takes that daughter of the conFederaCy seriously...
Why does she hate him so much?
Her brain was addled by a Jewish space laser?
Maybe due to jealousy? Dr. Fauci is a intelligent scientist and she is anything but.
He did not support Trump during the pandemic, and has since revealed some of the worst things Trump did during 2020.
Yeah...I can see where that might lead her to hate Dr Fauci <insert huge eye roll>
That eye roll is not intended for you, Ozz
I will never understand these people that are linking themselves with a guy that is responsible for the GOP to lose 2 elections in a row (2018 & 2020), lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose the presidency.
Ah yes, Green was a graduate of Trump University and was at the bottom of her class.
... on her back.
. . . and knees
That explains a lot.
That took some doing since everybody was shooting for last
Greene doesn't know shit about dick and is just throwing shit at the wall for her rabid whackjob base.
Isn't she dumb CUNextTuesday who said something about impeachment on Day 1 of President Biden's Presidency?
