So, did anyone take the trouble to find out what he was doing when he wasn’t at work?
Another question is why did anyone in government care? Obviously his bosses didn’t care since they gave him bonuses. This is probably the smallest piece of fraud in quite a while and the guy got 32 years?
Most politicians and members of the administration should be put away until the end of time based upon what this guy got.
Months.
DC has a major problem with episodes like this.
Back around 2011....someone was doing an interview about their period during the Bush years. They came into the office in the beginning weeks to find some secretary who showed up at 8 and left by 11...with no real excuses. For months, it’d be brought up that she was full-time but no one could bring up the topic.
One day, around the holiday period, this political figure was over in Arlington at Maceys....around lunch-time and shopping to buy presents. Here was the clerk in front of them....the secretary from work. She was coming in and getting a full-time check for three hours of work a day, then worked part-time for another check. She reported the event, but no one did anything. She thought the gal was likely still doing the same thing during the Obama period.
I had an associate who worked in an office of twelve people. The number two ranking guy....GS-13 making $120k a year....had been an alcoholic for a decade, and pretended to work while on two days a week of telework. No one could remember this guy accomplishing anything....for at least six years. He mostly read newspapers...whined about the job....and would sip a couple of shots of something at lunch.
