Before the murder he was a GS15. In late January he was raised to a GS25 and was given a full disability pension (PTSD),his identification was changed ("witness protection") and no whistle blower who might divulge his identity will be believed by the press.

So he was bought off, why?

Something must be getting lost in translation. There is no ‘GS-25.’ GS-15 is the highest in the normal scale. Beyond GS-15 is the Senior Executive Service. These are generally Cabinet Secretaries, their Deputies, Directors and the like.

I’m not even sure if the head of the Capitol Police is a part of the Senior Executive Service. A lot of the critical LEO and national security jobs are exempted from SES. But, even if the Capitol Hill Police are eligible for it, there are statutory limits in place. IOW, Pelosi can’t simply reach down and make someone an SES. The General Accounting Office and OPM would never approve it.

The PTSD disability, however, is completely believable and possible.
