meep, seems hubby worked for Bush Sr.
I never dug into this:
Dems said the report expanded on the findings of an audit in July by the IG of the Dept HHS that criticized Ms. Vermaâs use of
outside consultants to perform âinherently governmental functions,â including strategic communications https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/10/us/politics/seema-verma-investigation.html

"Consultants performed traditional day-to-day communications tasks. Docs reveal that, among other duties traditionally performed by CMS officials, consultants frequently staffed Administrator Verma during interviews90 & official travel, at times without any CMS staff present"
to lead its communications efforts on major policy initiatives and rollouts that would undermine millions of Americansâ access to affordable health care.

To help them carry out these tasks, CMS leadership provided the consultants with direct access

Man this story is a thread in itself but here's another important link to it all:
At the time of the contracts, Ms. Verma was a newcomer to Washington, brought into the administration by Mr. Pence, who had worked with her in Indiana, where she was a health care consultant.

Is it me or am I right that anytime there's a GA fuqqery link, Mike Pence + Kemp are involved? (Lemme guess, Ayers and Perdue)
FTR, that last quote is from the NYT article above the IG report. Only one more thing I'll add (also from that article) cuz it seems important given the media sh!tshow 
The girlsâ night events, she said, were hosted by âjournalists including Judy Woodruff, Norah OâDonnell, Rita Braver, Andrea Mitchell and others to honor significant accomplishments of both Democratic and Republican women.â

There's a lot to unpack here.
She has more experience that just some side consultant and doesn't seem like a typical CDC CoS.

Here are the 2 CDC positions filled by Witkofsky and Moeller. Remember this?

Redfieldâs right hand. The other, her deputy Chester âTreyâ Moeller, also began sitting in on scientific meetings, the sources said.

Beck is on detail for the WH w/ OMB, where she is coordinating review of pandemic stimulus measures & CDC guidance. She has a doctorate in environmental health & has worked as a toxicologist, specializing in the study of the health risks from chemical substances to the human body
âI am deeply concerned by the nomineeâs involvement in advocating for the deregulation of toxic chemicals known as PFAS & I have questions about her potential involvement with the CDC coronavirus guidance,â said Sen. Maria Cantwell, the top Dem on the committee'
We all are.
We all are.
Before the Trump admin, Beck was a Sr director for policy at the American Chemistry Council, the primary lobbying arm for U.S. chemical manufacturers. She frequently testified on Capitol Hill against stricter safeguards to protect human health & the environment from toxins.
Many emails show that the CDCâs chief of staff, Robert âKyleâ McGowan (CoS that left) attempted to get approval from Beck/OMB to post the guidelines that were submitted by Redfeild on April 10th.

On April 30, one day before Trumpâs May 1 reopening goal, McGowan was told guidelines will ânever see the light of day,â
ps. Beck hasn't been confirmed yet.
