It's called "indirect pronoun reference."
I'm not sure there was a point, there, anyway, except to be snarky.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

My point, with regard to this incident, would be that I am not at all surprised that FOX would fail to vet their "expert". They clearly hire based upon viewpoint, not qualifications. In this particular instance, I find it amazing that he would attempt to get a clearance based upon a doctored resume, which he clearly knew to be false. Maybe he had drunk the FOX Koolaid and believed alternate reality he was surrounded by. FOX, ironically, could potentially have a claim against him for fraud, in that they paid him for expertise claimed that he didn't have. Of course, he would have a defense in that he gave them what they wanted, and "the truth" is not required by the network, so what would they have to complain about?

Let's time-travel way back to January 2015 and see what Fox News was up to (read: lying about) then, shall we? Fox’s terrorism commentator Steve Emerson claimed that there were certain neighborhoods and towns completely overrun with a Muslim population so fierce that even police wouldn’t enter them: according to him, there are “actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn’t dress according to religious Muslim attire.” Needless to say, according to David Cameron and a bunch of mad French television stations, that’s not the case. Emerson has apologized, and Banderas profusely continued to apologize tonight: To be clear, there is no formal designation of these zones in either country… and no credible information to support the assertion that there are specific areas in these countries that exclude individuals based solely on their religion. There are certainly areas of high crime in Europe as there are in the United States and other countries – where police and visitors enter with caution. We deeply regret the errors and apologize to any and all who may have taken offense including the people of France and England.

Does this mean that Obama can be indicted for claiming to enforce the Constitution? Yet, per Telemundo, Obama is the Deporter-In-Chief. The "not defending the Constitution" line gets old - especially since it's not true.

Ma_Republican-If all your posits were true, the Republican jackals would be filing charges right and left(pun intended). They have not been able to field one charge that has stuck. Just a lot of shouting and temper tantrum throwing. Now they are caught (and by their own admissions) using the investigative process to politically try and submarine Hillary Clinton. Some Senate Democrats have sent a letter to the RNC demanding that they repay the government for wasting tax-payer money. I agree.
