Seven months after federal officials fired CGI Federal for its botched work on Obamacare website Healthcare.gov, the IRS awarded the same company a $4.5 million IT contract for its new Obamacare tax program.
CGI is a $10.5 billion Montreal-based company that has forever been etched into the publics mind as the company behind the bungled Obamacare main website.
After facing a year of embarrassing failures, federal officials finally pulled the plug on the company and terminated CGIs contract in January 2014.
Yet on Aug. 11, seven months later, IRS officials signed a new contract with CGI to provide critical functions and management support for its Obamacare tax program, according to the Federal Procurement Data System, a federal government procurement database.
The IRS contract is worth $4.46 million, according to the FPDS data. The contract expires Aug. 15, 2015.
Prior to terminating CGIs contract, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Congress, I am as frustrated and angry as anyone with the flawed launch of HealthCare.gov. She called the CGI-designed website a debacle.
A joint Senate Finance and Judiciary Committee staff report in June 2014 found that Turning Point Global Solutions, hired by HHS to review CGIs performance on Healthcare.gov, reported they found 21,000 lines of defective software code inserted by CGI......

Moochies pal needs more grease.
Bingo!
” Bonehead already funded the corruption.”
In order to fund his OWN corruption with impunity.
That, or IRS hired them for nefarious political purposes similar to what got them originally hired by the Obamacare folks.
I suspect that the private entity is involved in some kind of political skulduggery that has now been moved from Obamacare to the IRS. Certain info files, for instance. (E. g. "Sarah had an aborrrrrtion, neener neener NEEEEENer!" Or some such.)
Crony capitalism raised to an art form.
One has to admire the chutzpah exhibited by this bunch of pseudo-technical slack-jawed wankers, because just like a hungry hog, they are not going to get kicked away from the trough because they are a little “unmannerly”.
The fact that this regime will keep on feeding this bunch of jokers, is more a blot on the regime, than on the leeches that have attached themselves.
Oh Stephen...where is your faith? Don’t you know? There is a vast army or solid, rock ribbed conservatives just over youn hill that are about to hold his feet to the fire?
Look, now is not the time. They have to keep their powder dry because the 16 election is the most important ever. If we upset the apple cart now, this could wipe out the GOP and we could lose the house, the senate, and 4 puppies.
And the unicorn.
Where would we get our skittles? From happy butterfly thoughts?
No. Best to compromise or better, pretend this never happened. Become one with the body brother.
I bet any wanna-be competitors took one look at the code they were going to have integrate with and refused to bid...
LMAO
You managed to fit a lot of BS in the first 2 lines.
Whatever do you mean? Is it not the oft spouted consensus?
You simply don’t understand. The double super secret plan that the GOP has is about to be sprung! So nuanced is it that not even Indian code talkers can put it into words. It’s the ORCA of our time!
And soon, REALLLLLL soonnnnnn....the trap will be sprung, the Dems will get EVERYTHING they wanted AND MORE And it will be all on the GOP. THEY will get all the blame!
Don’t you see the beauty of it? Who would suspect? Who could imagine?
THAT SJB, is why we mere peons can’t grasp the brilliance. That is why we stupidly oppose our betters. It’s such a divinely inspired subterfuge that I can’t even put it into words.
How could we NOT love it?
Perfect.....
No I must go back to my federal government job....$12,000 mo. to translate Shakespeare into pig latin.
And soon the GOP will pass a bil funding that department. In fact, I read the foundational perspectus for it. According to my sources, the new Dept. is actually a departure from three letter acronyms, (which is also part of the brilliant subterfuge) and will be called “Minitrue”. It’s catchy and polled well with the Hipsters.
They are lining up now to staff it.
Sire, some idiot purists wanted the whole name spelled out but “Ministry of Truth” just sounds so...I dunno...Orewllian. I mean sure Minitrue is also in the book as a contraction, but they never saw that on Wiki so it’s cool.
PS, Change the name. Pig is offensive to muslims.
IIRC< Moochelle has university ties, old friend, that kind of thing, with one of the heads of the company or something like that. A “sista”.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at all the people giving the GOP high-fives for seeming to put Pelosi’s nose out of joint, and Obola’s, by inviting Netanyahu. That seems like so obvious a kabuki theater move, it’s pitiful. it changes not one thing regarding all the domestic poicies on which they’re caving, it doesn’t really affect any policy, it gives the GOPe the appearance of “opposing” the ‘rats on something that the DC ‘rats can appear to be all heated about, while they know as well that it changes nothing on policies, while not being important enough to stir up either’s constituencies. We are the fools on the stage, and we think that we’re the audience.
Decaff preezee strikes again!
>"And soon, REALLLLLL soonnnnnn....the trap will be sprung, the Dems will get EVERYTHING they wanted AND MORE And it will be all on the GOP. THEY will get all the blame!"
The mushrooms will be demanding refunds if you keep on spoiling their meals.
Follow the money..........
All you can do is mock people that stupid. There is no fixing them. We need a return to public shaming because since that ended, there is nothing that is too mindless to say.
Why not say anything that makes you popular with online buddies you never met? High school never ends and we are all unoque little snowflakes. This is the internet. Nothing said here ever leaves. It’s our personal playground!.
Only spoiled for those willfully blind. Should be obvious to even Stevie Wonder.
Well stated, as usual. I’ve noticed over time that you don’t miss much.
