He resigned? Good he's awful!

Apparently some were calling his bluff and wanting an investigation into the "hacking."

(CNN) Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden is seeking information from the FBI and the Department of Energy about a Trump administration appointee who says there is an ongoing federal investigation into "cyber attacks and Internet crimes" committed against him.

William C. Bradford, the administration's appointee to run the Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy, told CNN on Monday that inflammatory comments that he appeared to have made through the online service Disqus were the result of hacking. The comments on the account, many of which mirror things Bradford has said publicly, include remarks calling former President Barack Obama "the son of a fourth-rate p&*n actress and w@!re."

Why oh why can't these guys just do the job they are hired to do? And people say women are catty.

(CNN) William C. Bradford, a Trump administration appointee who heads the Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy, resigned Thursday after claiming this week inflammatory comments that appeared to have been made by him online were the result of hacking.

"William Bradford tendered his resignation this afternoon and is no longer with the Department of Energy," said DOE spokesperson Shaylyn Hynes.

CNN's KFile reported this week on evidence that suggested that Bradford made inflammatory comments through an account on the online commenting service Disqus. In response to the story, Bradford told CNN's KFile that he couldn't comment "on an ongoing federal investigation into multiple cyber attacks and Internet crimes committed against me over the past several years, to include email intrusions, hacking, and impostors in social media."

The account that appeared to be Bradford questioned Obama's birth certificate and called the former president's mother "a fourth-rate p&*n actress and w@!re."

On Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden sent letters to the FBI and the DOE requesting more information about Bradford's claim that he was hacked.

In June, following his appointment to the Department of Energy, The Washington Post reported provocative comments Bradford made on Twitter -- including calling Obama a Kenyan and saying that the World War II-era internment of Japanese-Americans was necessary. Bradford apologized for the comments at the time in a statement to the Post, calling them "inexcusable."

In 2015, Bradford resigned as a professor at West Point after penning an academic paper that argued the US military should target Islamic holy sites as part of the war on terror.

A better question is why this guy was hired to do that job.

Where does he find these incompetents?

This administration (with a very few exceptions) is a clown car of fuckery.

After reading what he has said and done, you still want him to do a job?  In the government?
