Veterans Affairs secretary scandal
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...b038916923

Veterans Affairs Secretary David J. Shulkin’s chief of staff doctored an email and made false statements to create a pretext for taxpayers to cover expenses for the secretary’s wife on a 10-day trip to Europe last summer, the agency’s inspector general has found.

Vivieca Wright Simpson, VA’s third-most senior official, altered language in an email from an aide coordinating the trip to make it appear that Shulkin was receiving an award from the Danish government — then used the award to justify paying for his wife’s travel, Inspector General Michael J. Missal said in a report released Wednesday. VA paid more than $4,300 for her airfare.

Fire and arrest him if need be... No bureaucrat should be above it.

I must say, I'm thrilled to see so many on the left **FINALLY** want to hold unelected higher ups in government positions accountable. I wonder what's changed in the last year or two that changed their minds.

So fire vivieca, replace the secretary if he was (likely) complicit. Make them each pay 5 grand in penalties.

Scandal solved...

Because the VA Sec was appointed by someone who was elected President they're not fond of.

Weird. The Dems flock to stand on the moral high ground on conservatives. Conservatives disavow and say yes punish the conservatives caught doing wrong. Threads about Dems doing wrong all you hear is crickets from the libs.

Yep - because they really don't care about government employees bilking taxpayer money.....................unless it is someone with an "R" in front of their name. If it's a "D", they don't care.
