[American Thinker] A Senate memo has blasted another law enforcement agency for corrupt behavior: the U.S. Marshals Service.Here's the Washington Post account:
The departing chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday issued a scathing summary of his years investigating the U.S. Marshals Service, saying his committee found "a culture of mismanagement, abuse of authority and lax accountability" at the law enforcement agency.
"Poor leadership and pervasive misconduct cripples morale and corrodes trust of employees tasked with apprehending criminals and keeping communities safe," said Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa). "This culture must change."
The memo prepared by Grassley’s staff summarizes the committee’s examination of claims by more than 100 purported whistleblowers who came forward to allege misconduct and mismanagement by senior Marshals Service officials.
The report describes forged signatures for subpoenas, retaliations against whistleblowers, hire-anyone hiring practices and of course, money flung all over the place.
Kind of sounds like Chicago politics. Which made me want to look up who might have appointed the obviously failed leadership of this once-respected law enforcement agency, with this time the woman named being Stacia Hylton: Got it. President Obama.
Another person hired not for her character but for her loyalty to Obama, and likely identity politics attributes.
