Much like any criminal organization, the Obama administration will punish anyone who dares tell the outside world just what they’re up to. They’ll take your job, your reputation, and — in this sickening case — they’ll even try to take your daughter.
A Department of Homeland Security agent who blew the whistle on deliberately lax enforcement under a particular immigration program had just that happen to her. Now, she’s speaking out before Congress.
Taylor Johnson, a senior special agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that she faced massive retribution after revealing irregularities in the EB-5 visa program.
The EB-5 visa grants green cards to foreigners who invest $500,000 in American companies. Johnson, an 11-year veteran of the ICE, told the committee that she found corruption and mismanagement that, in her words, posed “national security risks.”
“Some of the violations investigated surrounding the project included bank and wire fraud, and I discovered ties to organized crime and high-ranking politicians and they received promotions that appeared to facilitate the program,” Johnson said.
She had “discovered that EB-5 applicants from China, Russia, Pakistan, Malaysia had been approved in as little as 16 days.” In addition, case files “lacked the basic and necessary law enforcement queries.”
“I found over 800 operational EB-5 regional centers throughout the U.S.,” Johnson said, adding that this was odd because the United States should only allow 10,000 EB-5 visas per year...

I have no dobt that are government has been infiltrated by organized crime since the Clintons took office in 1988. I think the first hint of this was Craig Livingstone having the FBI files of Clintons political enemies. those files were used the last 37 years to black mail there way to control the federal government. when Obama became president he took over the Clintons network of blackmailed politicians and started to use them for his own agenda. the blackmail has gotten more and more blatant as the years have gone by till now when it is very evident when you look at the behavior of supreme court justice john Roberts or at representative Denis Hasert. we have no idea right now how many politicians and high level bureaucrats have been compromised and are being black mailed to do the biding of the current administration

Is it 1776 yet?
“Lemme guess the rest....the Republican chairman of the committee thanked her for her testimony, put the transcript in a folder, and stuck it in the bottom drawer of his filing cabinet.”
More than likely. However, the ConservativeTribune website ( and possibly others) picked it up. I hope to spread the story.
He is rocking political establishments to the core, and this is only the beginning...
They no doubt used a similar threat to intimidate SCOTUS Justice Roberts ... support Obamacare or we'll be looking into the adoption process where your daughters are concerned.
After she blew the whistle on the EB-5 program, the retaliation was swift and severe. Johnson was escorted from her desk and denied access to her case files. The government then informed adoption social workers that Johnson had lost her job due to criminal activity.
“When an adoption social worker tried to contact and verify employment, she was told that I had been terminated for a criminal offense,” Johnson said, on the verge of tears. “I almost lost my 1-year-old child.”
Profile in Courage: Senior Special Agent Taylor Johnson testifies before Congress.
If Senior Special Agent Johnson's story involved a pet liberal issue, this story would be plastered across every newspaper headline in the country, on CNN 24/7, given spittle-flecked opinion airtime by Matthews and Maddow and a deluge of movie rights offers ala Erin Brockovich.
Since it is a whistleblower against the scandal-ridden 0bama administration ..... crickets. FUMSM
If Hillary gets elected, these government employees will RETAIN their jobs and STILL be afraid to speak. This is the deal 0dungo and Hillary have. Mutually assured protection of one another regarding crimes such as Benghazi, IRS attack of Tea Party, Egypt's 'Arab Spring' lie and support for terrorist Morsi, Huma Abedin, secret emails, deleted emails, AND RETENTION OF ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
0dingo will use every resource at his disposal to ensure Hillary is elected, such as KEEPING THE TEA PARTY SHUT-DOWN VIA THE IRS, busing illegals to polling places and other voter fraud practices.
Ahhh, but the Media outlets would lose ACCESS to the Obama minions if they told the TRUTH, and ACCESS is much more important than TRUTH!
I say...”GOOD”.
The GOP has been a ‘dead letter’ for too long, anyway! They have made themselves irrelevant and it’s time for them to GO!
I found the original on CSpan3. It was June 11, 2015
Never heard anything about the hearing. Her name is Taylor Johnson.

Makes you wonder about how far this administration would go to ‘fundamentally change’ America. Would they blackmail Politicians or even Supreme Court judges? Sure, why not.
Thanks for the link.
Looks like Senator Ron Johnson was the senator in charge of the hearing. Where’s Ted Cruz and the rest of the Senate’s outrage?
Of course with this admin, there’s something to get outraged about everyday. It is hard to keep up with all the scandals in this admin.
The Mafia could only dream of the levels of corruption that the Obama regime has attained.
Oh, it's coming....Soviet style. When they are finished, they will lock down the borders to prevent us from getting OUT.
