This would be funny if it was not my tax money.
(CBS) It was the most sensational of all the suspect purchases made with government credit cards. A custom black Mustang, charged by Los Alamos National Laboratory employee Lillian Anaya. After a year-long investigation, the New Mexico lab exonerated her, and even claims she's the victim.
To: joinedafterattack
In a memo, a university attorney poses "a reasonable hypothesis ..." that Anaya was trying to buy lab equipment called "transducers," but dialed a wrong number and "did not realize she was actually speaking to ... the ... Mustang company," which then tricked her into ordering a car. This whole place, the University of California included, is dirty up to it's eyeballs.

But a CBS News investigation casts serious doubt on that story.The pot calls the kettle what a joke even if it is true CBS has no room to cast doubt on anything let alone investigate

They welcomed her back with open arms huh? Investigate all of them.
Just read on Fox News that this Doran guy got a call to meet someone at a bar. He went there and the guy did not show. As he was leaving a bunch of guys pulled him from his car and stopped the shiite out of him. Told him if he knew what was good for him to keep his mouth shut. Yep, investigate all of them, this is the tip of the ice berg.

But isn't it fun watching them eat their own!

Yep, the taxpayer. When they started issuing credit cards to government employees, there were those of us who felt that it was a bad idea. That it would be abused and it has constantly.
To: joinedafterattack
So, does she still have the car?

I'll second that. And Ms. Anaya and her supervisors and enablers need to be charged with public malfeasance, at the very least.

Lillian Anaya must really have some juicy info on a lot of her colleagues for them to cover for a 'Stang'
To: jocon307
So, does she still have the car? She certainly took delivery of it. And of another 3900 purchases an independent audit decided were dubious...
Story here.

Sorry about that. I'll go back and check it. Still interesting and still think they all need to be investigated.

Just read it again and your right. I have a new rule, never type anything until you are completely awake and have had at least two cups of coffee.
