Attkisson asked Krongard about the conflict of interest:
Attkisson: Did you know your own brother was on ArmorGroup’s board of directors?
Krongard: No , I did not.
Attkisson: Why didn’t you know?
Krongard: Dunno. I guess No. 1 I’m not sure why I should’ve known, but No. 2 he never told me.

Come on!…… You have to be kidding me, right? Howard had no idea that his own flesh and blood was a member of AGNA’s board of directors? Pfffft.
This just keeps getting better and better. All of this, because a few leaders did not have the courage to do what is right. –Matt

Howard Krongar’s job was to investigate alleged misconduct at the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Sharyl Attkisson reports on how one of his personal relationships may have prevented him from doing so.
A hearing has been held over the recently-leaked photos which reveal allegedly lewd behavior by employees hired to provide security for the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. Sharyl Attkisson reports.
John Gorman, a former manager with ArmorGroup, the private company hired to provide security at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul details what he knew and what happened when he tried to stop it.
Krongard is accused of improperly burying legitimate allegations against security contractors Blackwater and ArmorGroup while, and perhaps because, his brother sat on the boards of directors of those compines while he was charged with investigating them.
