F.U.B.A.R....halfway through this, I could hardly believe the severe criminality and corruption of the people involved, at various levels....w....t....f....

Used to be that when a teenager hacked a major company’s network infrastructure, said teenager was hired to lead the security team. I’ve personally worked with 3 individuals who “hacked” their way into high-paying corporate jobs and are now some of the best white-hat hackers I know.

This, however, is next-level retarded.

[Sasparilla]

Didn’t think you could call them felons anymore. Hurts their job chances.

Probably an Obama appointee?

Making sure that Vets get top quality people taking care of them.

The VA bureaucrats will fight a Veteran to the death over a nickel while they (the bureaucrats) are stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And Congress is Allowing ALL OF IT, Way to Go Paul Ryan!!

Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

I think we ain’t seen nuttin yet. Obama is letting felons out en masse, and forbidding Fed offices and maybe Fed contractors from asking about felony records or doing background checks because, apparently, records checks are racist or something.

We are going to see many (former) felons in charge of more and more.

You can quote me- “When criminals get voted in they pass laws enabling other criminals”.

[Fresh Wind]

Liberals believe that doing time invariably cures people of their felonious ways.

Especially if there is EEO involved.

[XEHRpa]

I disagree with the article’s premise... they did NOT put a felon in charge... The DOJ stopped using the word “felon” this very week, because of its negative connotations (no sarcasm)

[arthurus]

This sort of thing is why Hussein decreed through his lackeys that Federal employment apps will no longer be permitted to ask about one’s criminal history.

[ridesthemiles]

Some here on FR needs to gt this info to the Trump campaign.

PLEASE.

Typical fed f/u. Intentional and ignorant. It’s time to stop this crap.
