Catherine Papoi was the deputy unit chief for the DHS office that processed Freedom of Information Act requests. She told the DHS inspector general that Obama's political appointees were improperly interfering with the agency's FOIA response process, including those submitted by journalists and members of Congress. Not long afterward, Papoi found herself out of a job. She was still being paid at her old rate, but her title and office were taken by somebody else who was approved by one of the political appointees who Papoi claimed interfered with the department's FOIA responses. DHS officials denied retaliating against Papoi and cited as proof the fact that her grade and pay were unchanged. But that's the way Washington tames career employees who buck the political types -- the troublemaker is left with no official duties and is marginalized in every way possible in the bureaucratic equivalent of a rubber-hose beating.
Remember WAY back a couple years ago where whisleblowers were the toast of the town and got their own person of the year awards in the media. Yeah....
Thugocracy is how you turn a republic into Chavez-land.
Yep, and 0’s trying hard to do it. Would love to see him humiliated and impeached, he deserves it.
of course we are google usa verus us
a whistleblower who spilled the goods regarding politicization of the Department of Homeland Security suddenly finds herself marginalized in an all too transparent move to have her quitBut he's got the same approach toward the Wikileaks people, oh, wait, no he doesn't...
Calling Daryl Issa!
Where’s Boehner on this? It’s it past time the Speaker decided to Speak Out against the DC thuggery and Mafia tactics??
I he's able to bring half of the law breakers in this administration to justice, he's going to be busy for the rest of his life.
In the meantime, another bulletin has gone out from the WH. "How the he*l did an HONEST person get left in a position where they could blow the whistle on us. PURGE. PURGE."
Yes, Rep. Issa definitely has a target rich environment when it comes to corrupt Rats, not enough hours and days to get to them all in the next two years.
He’s dumbed down the Presidency to that of a community organizer. That’s all he’ll ever be. Unfortunately for the world.
How apropros that the likes of a narcissist like barack hussein obama seems to be playing a major part in bringing the world to the “end times”.
Don’t hold your breath waiting on Boehner to have a backbone. He’s a spineless, cry baby.

We need somebody tougher than Boehner as Speaker, like Michele Bachmann.
Yep, and 0s trying hard to do it. Would love to see him humiliated and impeached, he deserves it.

He should be tried for treason and spend the rest of his miserable life in prison. When he’s gone from office, I want to remember him NO more!
Boner is a joke for sure.
