OBAMA POLITICAL APPOINTEE SPENT TAX $$$ ON LUXURY TRAVEL AND HIS PERSONAL OFFICE AND THE COMMERCE DEPT IG WON’T NAME HIM: The linked Fox News article refers to this Commerce Dept IG report. The inspector general responded to a confidential complaint. The IG confirmed the appointee spent way too much money on the office and had a taste for “premium lodging.” The IG determined that “multiple regulatory and policy violations occurred in connection with Political Appointee’s official travel during his first year with the Department, and several people share responsibility for these violations.” (See the pdf, p. 21) The appointee is not named– not named anywhere in the report. The IG determined that the “Political Appointee is not a person lacking the means to pay for luxury accommodations or other premium services out of his own funds…” The appointee has told the IG he will pay back the money. So…First Bet: He’s a wealthy Democrat donor. Second Bet: The Commerce Dept honchos don’t want to embarrass him. Third Bet: If we had a Republican administration in power the mainstream media would be demanding the appointee’s name be released — for the benefit of good government!!! Fox News reports the Cause of Action Institute is on the case and says “American taxpayers have the right to know the name and title of this high-ranking political appointee and whether such wasteful spending could be a more widespread problem at the agency.”
