That ought to have been a headsup to someone in Washington to check through Sutton's travel vouchers going back over the last 5 years.
Things to look for: (1) how far from the airport to home, (2) how much spent on taxis around "noon" or 5 PM (mealtimes), with reference to where he was at the time, (3) recurring visits while in transit to spots where he had no current casework.
All of these things might seem to be minor, but a recurring pattern will frequently reveal the individual doing them does not have sufficient integrity to be doing the job he's paid for.
Oh, yeah #3 is almost always a situation where the traveler is diverting from the most expeditious route to stop off and see a girlfriend (his wife doesn't know about).
I'd kind of like to know where he parks his car when he goes to work. Is it in a designated spot at a federal courthouse or other government building, or has his office rented supplemental parking in a private garage? Then, what vehicle is he parking there ~ is it his own or is it owned by the govenment.
So many things to check, so much time to do the job, so much, so much ~ and in the end we can find out if Sutton is a crook (which I suspect) or merely an honest simpleton.
Only new thing here is the take that Sutton was trying to shift blame for his excesses to the folks at DOJ “headquarters”.
Don’t think Johnny Sutton made a move without first consulting with the DC DOJ and he’s a personal friend of George W. Bush.
