She was head of a Department that is in fact the BIGGEST one behind DOD (which itself is headed by the disgrace Kegsbreath). Patel is only the head of an agency. So she had access to WAY MORE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that could be flagrantly squandered for Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

And then there is the other ignored disgrace - RFK Jr. heading up HHS, who has had a fiasco of a revolving door of agency leaders (including CDC with multiples - all women, yet the loon Warlock of Oz remains at CMS).

I won't even get into what is happening with the female Fed Governor Lisa Cook.
