The official tasked with keeping watch over the Department of Homeland Security was instead watching out for senior officials he considered his "friends," according to a Senate probe.

A subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs released a scathing report on Thursday that effectively confirmed many of the ethical allegations that have trailed Charles Edwards ever since he resigned his post in December as acting DHS inspector general. The report determined that he "jeopardized the independence" of his office by socializing with senior DHS officials and had reports "altered or delayed" to accommodate the department he was supposed to oversee.

Tell me again why we ought not keep giving these folks the stink eye and insisting they back up everything they say and do?

I normally try to give people the benefit of the doubt.  The list of those that no longer receive it is growing too long to list . . .

Because it would be RACIST, that's why.
