Bill and Hillary became millionaires and Harry Truman went back to Independence and lived in his mother-in-law's house.

My,how things have changed.

news on Aguilar

Cheating down on the border - A kickback scheme among federal agents in Arizona results in some charges--and plenty of questions
By Edward T. Pound
"two men alleged that DAVID AGUILAR--now the head of the Border Patrol in Washington, directing the enforcement efforts of 11,000 agents nationwide--and senior managers in Douglas were aware of the kickback scheme but did nothing to stop it. At the time, Aguilar was the chief patrol agent in Tucson.

Now, the Office of Special Counsel, after reviewing the case for more than two years, has rendered its verdict, one that is sharply critical of both the Border Patrol and its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security...Special Counsel Scott Bloch said that the agency "failed to thoroughly investigate the whistle-blowers' allegations" against senior Border Patrol officials. He concluded: "It is simply not credible that 45 employees at a single Border Patrol station could engage in a pattern of conduct sufficiently egregious to warrant severe discipline without the knowledge of management.

...Aguilar strongly denied the allegations that he knew of the kickback scheme and did nothing about it." link: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/050606/6border.htm
