Bloomberg: “As it confronts the worst economic disaster since the 2008 financial crisis, the Treasury Department is riddled with vacancies among its political appointments. Of 20 Senate confirmed roles reporting to the secretary, seven aren’t filled, and four are held by acting officials. The domestic finance unit, which should be handling the brunt of the work related to the coronavirus outbreak, is particularly empty. It has no top boss and is missing three assistant secretaries, who are the next level down.”

1. Just saw a documentary about the FCC's bungled non-investigation of MADOFF

and one of the "investigators" forgot his briefcase with all the hundreds of questions at the MADOFF office, and the MADOFF crew spent all night creating false documents answering the questions for the next morning's FCC appointment.

Just on the detail of working overtime with vacancies, this must be what it's like!1
