Kostelancik can say goodbye to his dream as an ambassador

Officially from the State Department for "FokusTV" they told me that:

"The nominations were returned to the President. Nominations not confirmed or rejected are returned to the President at the end of a session or when the Senate adjourns or recesses for more than 30 days (Senate Rule XXXI, paragraph 6). If the President still wants a candidate to be considered, he must submit a new nomination to the Senate. However, the Senate can waive this rule by unanimous consent and often does so to allow nominations to remain in the "status quo" between the first and second sessions of a Congress or during a long recess. The majority leader or his designee may also exclude specific designees by name from the unanimous consent agreement, allowing them to return during recess or adjournment.”

So, for the Tirana pundits: When the Senate returns 43 nominations to the White House, that means the President will have to renominate those individuals or submit new names for consideration. The president is not required to nominate entirely new individuals, but instead may choose to renominate some or all individuals who have previously returned. The decision to re-appoint or present new names rests with the President.

So, Kostelancik can't even be renominated, and if so, the process starts from the beginning and is unlikely to last until November because there will be a deadlock.

Blinken Mavria can propose someone else, or rather Juri Kim will choose her man. Kostelnacik was expelled from Hungary, when the Task Force was pro-Soros.

A single senator blocked the vote in the senate, but for Israel and Lebanon, the two ambassadors who had been waiting for almost a year, the senate voted. Albania is at the level of Nigeria and Somalia, there are no ambassadors either. But the Department is number two, and Viktoria Nuland is acting deputy secretary.

The situation that is worrying the FBI involves the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, and the former FBI agent, Charles McGonigal, who has been accused of corruption. While Rama has denied any wrongdoing, the question is whether American prosecutors can also charge him with corruption.

It is important to note that Rama has not been charged with any crime and there is no public evidence that he is under investigation. However, if evidence emerges of his involvement in corrupt activities, it is possible that US prosecutors could investigate and potentially charge him.

Keep in mind that international cooperation and diplomatic considerations would come into play, since Rama is the head of government. It is a complex situation and any potential charges would require a thorough investigation and due process.

Fact: Rama was detained in JFk for over an hour. Fact: Rama appears in endless eavesdropping.
