SCANDAL DU JOUR
Posted: Apr 24, 2014
So much for focusing on the big picture of protecting the homeland...
Probe: DHS watchdog cozy with officials, altered reports as he sought top job
The top watchdog for the Department of Homeland Security altered and delayed investigations at the request of senior administration officials, compromising his independent role as an inspector general, according to a new report from a Senate oversight panel.
Charles K. Edwards, who served as acting DHS inspector general from 2011 through 2013, routinely shared drinks and dinner with department leaders and gave them inside information about the timing and findings of investigations, according to the report from an oversight panel of the Homeland Security and Government Operations Committee.
A year-long bipartisan investigation by the panel also found that Edwards improperly relied on the advice of top political advisers to then-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and acquiesced to their suggestions about the wording and timing of three separate reports.

The question here is will DOJ prosecute? - No, this admin. above the law.

Speaking of the DOJ - Holder not welcome in OKC (sm) - Abby
[ In Reply To ..]Of course, Holder is blaming it on other commitments. He swore to uphold the Constitution for all of us, not use it to advance his own political agenda. (paraphrasing)
Link
Why should he walk into a snakepit orchestrated by a conservative - lawmaker?
[ In Reply To ..]From your article:
"Mr. Holder’s scheduled visit to Oklahoma City drew the criticism of several conservative lawmakers who planned the protest anticipating his arrival, including state Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, Moore Republican, who has stated he believes that Mr. Holder should be impeached.
“Our protest has turned into a victory celebration because we frankly didn’t want him here — and we succeeded,”'
Another example of conservative bully at its finest!!! The cadets didn't orchestrate the protest, the state rep did. Seems like he might have better things to do... that's all cons do any more... obstruct and make trouble, not serve the people. Those are their ideals.
He shouldn't "walk" anywhere. - He should slither.
[ In Reply To ..]He's just another sideshow in what this administration has become, a laughingstock and an embarrassment.
We must be living in an alternative universe? - I see a fairly successful
[ In Reply To ..]administration - certainly one who fought tooth and nail to deliver health care, after having successfully avoided the economic implosion Bush set him up for.
I actually think he deserves WAY more credit than he gets.
Do you mean *alternate* universe? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I sure hope so because I don't want to be a part of one that cannot accept ANY responsibility for failures and shortcomings, nor one that continues to attempt to send the USA on a downward spiral to advance a socialist agenda.
not sure what I meant getting - tired
[ In Reply To ..]You know what else makes me tired? The same old line that you and/or others keep printing like we didn't read it 100 times already;
We get it. YOU are really really worried about us spiraling into a socialist nation or maybe a commie one.
broken record much :)?
The country is recovering across the board. What downward spiral? - and
[ In Reply To ..]what social agenda? Ensuring equal rights for everyone to be covered under health insurance? If social agenda means recognizing that all men are created equal, then I guess that's what he is doing. Why is that so bad?
Agree with one - caveat
[ In Reply To ..]and its important :)
"recognizing that all men AND women..."
He is actually *also* trying to level the paying field for women -
the colossal failure and downward spiral and socialist/commie, etc., comments sound like a mantra to me, nothing more.
Yep, a mantra straight from the machine who also praised Cliven. There are no - conincidences
[ In Reply To ..]And yes, women!! It is important. :)
Socialist agenda, not social agenda. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Huge difference!
The social agenda was probably part of his duties as a community organizer.
LOL.
Right the social agenda is fact - the socialist agenda
[ In Reply To ..]is right wing propaganda.
Sorry... - Wrong again.
[ In Reply To ..]:-(
The context of my post should have left no question that I was speaking in - response to
[ In Reply To ..]comments by the previous poster who mentioned a SOCIALIST agenda. Sorry it was so hard for some to distinguish, comprehend, or follow. But at least I provided an outlet for anyone with nothing to contribute to the conversation a segue to point out an obvious typo and to get a conservative, right-wing-typical buzzword-rude jab in.
Yes, I'm sure Obama's duties of a community organize spoke to his desire to help people, all people, not one economic group or race. I think that makes for a much more effective leader than one who is only in office to further advance the financial empire of his VP or to be immortalized as a "freedom-seeking" warmonger.
Very well said. - Thank you!!
[ In Reply To ..]NM :-)

That is about the same — even a tad better — than the 45%-30% split found in a Journal/NBC poll in July. At a time when Republicans have been calling for cutting off fed ...
