Top Veterans Affairs Officials Keep Jobs, Can't Be Reassigned
More Obama Administration 'Accountability' (or LACK thereof) on Display....
"Two officials for the Department of Veterans Affairs — at the center of the scandal plaguing that agency — will keep their jobs and have proven impervious to efforts of reassigning them.
“Diana Rubens, Philadelphia Regional Office director, and Kimberly Graves, director of the St. Paul, Minn., regional office, have faced harsh criticism since an inspector general report last fall accused them of pocketing more than $400,000 in moving costs for questionable job moves,” the Military Times reports.
“Lawmakers have repeatedly accused the pair of gaming the promotion system for personal gain, at the expense of veterans care. VA leaders have criticized the two only for ‘judgement errors’ in how they handled the job moves, and supported both as reliable and responsible executives,” the report continues.
Despite that bit of agency spin, VA officials tried to discipline the executives and assign them to different positions — tried and failed.
The Merit Systems Protection Board shot down the disciplinary action, and both Rubens and Graves kept their jobs, with gushing praise for their management skills from Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson...
“It’s devastating that the senior leaders are not held as accountable as the lowest people in the organization,” Pummill admitted."
(NO SHIT!)
"Diana Rubens and Kimberly Graves pled the Fifth and refused to testify on the matter. Now they have become the latest in a line of Obama administration officials to face no disciplinary action for behavior they claimed they couldn’t discuss without implicating themselves in criminal activity."
Illegals are a higher priority to Obama than Veterans...and U.S. Citizens.
'Refugees' (terrorists) are a higher priority to Obama than Veterans...and US citizens.
Protecting his CRIMINAL fellow liberals, Cabinet Members, and Federal Employees is a higher priority...
ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY!
