Homeland Security watchdog resigns under ethics cloud, days before hearing
Fox News ^ | December 17, 2013

The chief watchdog for the Department of Homeland Security has stepped down from his post under a gathering cloud of allegations about his own conduct, just days before he was set to testify before the Senate.

-SNIP-

The litany of allegations against Edwards included claims that he bowed to political pressure and watered down his reports; abused agency personnel and resources; and retaliated against employees who questioned his conduct.

The allegations gained widespread attention after a Democratic and Republican senator sent a bombshell letter to Edwards in June cataloguing the alleged offenses.

-SNIP-

Further, the letter aired allegations that he violated "anti-nepotism laws" to employ his wife, misused official funds to travel to Florida to attend Ph.D. classes and used his own staff to work on school assignments.

"Good riddance."

Well, not really. It looks like he was reassigned. We are still paying for him.

We have horrible thing here in AZ....6500 child abuse cases ignored by CPS....Governor won't fire the director, he's another of the downtrodden "minorities"....

Arizona CPS update: Botched cases update set for CPS oversight panel

"A review of more than 6,500 child abuse and neglect reports has found more than one-sixth of the children were involved in a subsequent case overseen by Arizona's child welfare agency, the Legislature's child protective services oversight committee was told Monday."

To be clear:

This guy appears to be a Caucasian with dark skin based on his appearance and his CV. Many others of the same "ilk" are extremely competent.

That's the CPS director I was referring to in Post #8, which is where your reply was directed...perhaps you mean the image I posted in post #1.

Your claim in post #10, is "This guy appears to be a Caucasian with dark skin based on his appearance and his CV."

I can't see that in either instance.

Obama has the soul of a totalitarian. Many of his picks will reflect that... especially those in positions of enforcement.
