PIGFORD UPDATE: Lee Stranahan: Pigford Breeds Internal USDA Corruption. “Pigford researcher, author, and Hoover Institute fellow Peter Schweizer has spoken to multiple sources who claim that not only has at least one individual inside the USDA been responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud, but that person is actually still working at the USDA. This is just one more reason USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack needs to consider a career change. It seems like it’s going to take Congressional hearings to allow the whistleblowers to speak openly.”
