Pardon me, but I did not deliberately mislead anyone. The guy to whom I was responding to was speaking of a corrupt person nominated by a corrupt president, and I was pointing out that Pai had been on the FCC for years before Trump made him chairman. (I'm assuming the corrupt president was meant to be Trump, because duh).

You were technically correct, as Professor Farnsworth would say, "The best kind of correct", but he was named chairman by Trump. Until that point, he was, to quote Ford Prefect, "mostly harmless".
