Vast Number of DHS Employees Convicted of Crimes
The widespread feeling that the federal government is a criminal operation has been confirmed:
There have been 2,527 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees and co-conspirators convicted of corruption and other criminal misconduct since 2004, according to a federal auditor.
Charles Edwards, the acting inspector general (IG) at DHS, made that revelation in written testimony prepared for an Aug. 1 hearing held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Organization, Efficiency, and Financial Management.
At least with an IG investigating and all these crooks convicted, DHS and its many sub-bureaucracies are all cleaned up now, right? Wrong:
The IG has transferred hundreds of cases to ICE and CBP, allowing them to investigate their own misconduct, something that opens the door for a “conflict of interest,” said Subcommittee Chairman Todd Platts (R-Pa.).
Eighty criminal misconduct investigations are being reviewed “after allegations surfaced that IG agents were ‘fabricating’ their progress on investigating the cases.” Reviewed by whom? Other presumably corrupt and irresponsible bureaucrats, who else?
On a tip from Steven A.
Let’s face it, Obama is a bozo, but so was Bush. He’s the
moron responsible for the creation of this fiasco. His
sheer ineptitude also paved the way for the Moonbat Messiah to be elected.
My guess is that the 2,527 number doesn’t include the thousands and thousands of TSA criminals, pervs, gropers, child and adult molesters, etc.
A prison run by the inmates.
Mickey, Bush ain’t my main man at all, but this is 2012. Bush is in Crawford and isn’t coming back. Using your logic, Cain is the guy you want to blame. HE started this fiasco and paved the way for the Evil One to be President.
As for Butch, she should start packing now…’cause if you’re a progressive, November is going to be uglier than she is!
Now what was it under Bush (8 years compared to 4)? The biggest criminal was a questionable conviction of Scooter Libby.
Now I get why dhs (Department of humongous suckage) was created, it is easier to create a new department than to re-purpose existing. Not saying I approve, just that I get it. But
idk what happened.
But I would love to see a year by year breakdown. And I would like to see details of what crimes were committed.
Regressives will be quick to point out that DHS was created under “a Republican” and we will have point out ONCE AGAIN that we don’t care what party the screw-up is part of, conservatives demand an accounting for said screw-ups; unlike regressives who will cover-up for their man and play the blame game.
Don’t forget the Patriot Act. I feel so much safer.
Thanks Dubya.
Don’t Just Sit There!
Do Something!

FrankW … here is a start for a list. And another one HERE.
…it is easier to create a new department than to re-purpose existing…
As a retired military and “Fed”, I can assure you that there is one frigging absolute in government…any and every time you “reorganize” anything, the performance sector is diminished and the management sector of it grows geometrically. Productivity becomes inverse to required processes. Reorganize often enough, you soon have all chiefs, no Indians. So you contract out for some Indians. Or form a new “department” & hire more Indians. Then re-organize them, too. Rinse & repeat.
If Congress was to amend the Constitution, and it was approved, to limit governmental reorganization efforts to not more than once in a decade, the savings would be astounding … trillions.
My little corner of the federal bureaucracy is classic example…I intentionally shrunk my staff size over 10 years by 70% as advancing technology made doing the same work with less feasible. It seemed to me, to us, to be sensible. Meantime there were approximately 3 management reorganizations above my level …and the management staffs grew by over 500% in the same decade. True story.
The irony is that a big part of the reason for management staff increase was because the new managers did not know how to do the work, or operate a computer with the skill of a contemporary 5th grader.
Soon the “process” became far more important than the product or service provided. More staff was applied to bloated “process”, less to actually providing public service.
Oh, in regard to my diatribe …you ARE NOT going to FIX it unless both a new Administration and Congress have the gumption to gut the institutionalized management bureaucracy structure (you could really cut by 50%+ overnight in the senior executive levels and no one would notice) and then enforce a renewed management pyramid with the small end on top, with a flatter profile, not vice versa like today in government.
Example: Do you REALLY think DHS/CBP has not enough people to close the border, or is it that they won’t deploy the people for it, instead of redundant unnecessary processes for managers?
Do NOT let them “reorganize” again … it will get worse. I guarantee it.
Just don’t send that beotch back to Arizona. I’ll be pissed!!!!!!!
Q: What do you call it when communists, radical homosexuals, thieves, liars, racists, and the village idiot all get together for morning tea?
A: The daily executive branch debriefing.
There’s a reason ole Janet earned the moniker “Incompetano” and it ain’t due to her intellect.
I hope and pray to see the entire house of cards of the Obummer administration fall apart .. I hope God has mercy on the USA and slams Obummer into the dirt with all his minions … and the evil, dark empire of the DEMON-RATS goes up in flames.
Aridog, although I don’t work for the Gubmint, I do work for a large, Nationally recoginized company. Over the last 15 years, we too have been operating like you just explained above. We HAVE become the Government. Financially, we step over dollars to pick up dimes. Socially, they are so scared of lawsuits from the fringe. If I was a Black female lesbian….I’d OWN this place.
I can’t wait to retire at 55 & go to work for a smaller company somewhere else, with a bunch of white guys who have a passion for business and want to get stuff accomplished.
I’m so sick of focus groups, committees, countless useless meetings, sensitivity training, LGBT & Gay Pride Days, goodie days, compliance issues,……..this list goes on and on. Thank you, you bottom feeding plaintiff attorneys.
Dang! Looking at that picture of Napolitano I’m thinking she missed her calling as a mafia Capo.
