After Schiff’s Disastrous Impeachment, Pelosi Appoints ‘Whistleblower Ombudsman’

In January 2019, as part of the rules package adopted in the House of Representatives when the 116th United States Congress kicked off, the body — newly under Democratic control — created the office of the Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman.
It wasn’t deemed important enough, it seems, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to name anyone to head the office in a timely manner.
That changed with a decided swiftness during the course of last year.
As impeachment drew to a close with a thud, it’s interesting to note that the speaker has named someone to lead the purportedly nonpartisan office — someone from one of the most liberal non-governmental organizations in Washington.
According to The Hill, Shanna Devine was appointed as the first whistleblower ombudsman last Friday.
