The defense: This was a petty theft compared to the one by the D.C. govt employee who embezzled 50 million before anyone had a clue that something funny was going on.

Remember the DC teachers that continued to get paid for something like five years after being laid off before anyone noticed? You’d think ONE of them would have been honest enough to give the money back.

OBAMA’s Federal Chief Information Officer ran this office until a few weeks ago, and is now on “Leave”.

You’ll notice this article “Forgets” to mention that, AT ALL?

The technology office is one of two city agencies that are given some leeway in purchase orders. It can dole out noncompetitive orders up to $500,000, compared with a $100,000 limit for other agencies.

No wonder there's so much waste, fraud, and corruption in DC government! Even a $100k limit is too high. Where I work everything over $5k needs three bids unless there's a good (aka heavily scrutinized) reason to sole-source the purchase.

So....because some murderers get away, we should not punish ANY murderers?

What a load of crap!

This is standard behavior for DC government employees and should be characterized as a misdemeanor or maybe even on the level of a parking violation. I mean, after all, DC has had a mayor get caught on film smoking crack and after he served his time he was reelected so clearly DC is populated with people who share the moral values of the Orcs in “The Lord of the Rings” series.

No competent person in the technology sector in the DC metro area would ever work for the DC city government. There are so many others in the area much more qualified to be Federal CIO. At least start looking within the federal agencies.

Just like Obama, Kundra’s “clean” but everyone around him is a crook. Nothing to see here...
