Whistleblower says crimes covered up at Miami VA hospital [Demoted by Admin]
Fox News ^ | 5/23/14

A VA police officer says administrators at the hospital in Miami where he works are covering up crimes at the facility, including evidence of physical abuse of patients and drug dealing.

Thomas Fiore, who still works at the facility, told Fox News’ Eric Bolling on “Hannity” that drug dealing among patients at the hospital is a “regular occurrence,” and he felt he had to come forward because attempts he made to investigate or report wrongdoing fell on deaf ears.

Fiore told the Herald he was eventually reassigned to a clerical position.

“I was reassigned because I continued to bring things up to the director, and he continued to ignore it,’’ he said. “They just needed to get rid of me.”

There we go, there's "accountability" for you, now let's stop talking about how nobody is getting into trouble over this VA scandal.

I (briefly) worked for the VA in the past — and I would be amazed if each and every VA medical center in the entire country doesn’t have at least one scandal that’s serious enough to send people to jail if the law were applied objectively and consistently.

Besides Fox and “Right Wing” blogs there isn’t much being reported on this. A CBS Local did a report but I doubt if the national desk will say much about it except to maybe point out if Mr. Fiore did have a blemish on his job review or that he’s a disgruntled employee - something like that. We are living in perilous times when men are doing whatever is right in their own eyes, Judges 21:25.

So the only way to blunt these efforts is for an overwhelming number of patriotic whistleblowers come forward like this man has. Make so much of a stink about what’s going on that it’s impossible for the RATs to sweep it under the rug.
