If only she had flown to Spain with 40 of her closest friends, or gone on a "school field trip" to Mexico accompanied by 25 Secret Service agents, she'd have kept her job.
BTW, she keeps her pension.

“BTW, she keeps her pension. “ This is theft and fraud. Why is she not in jail?

Well by quitting she has done that. We will save by not having her at this job it looks like

Held responsible? Will she have to pay some back? Like maybe the cost of the mind reader? Stuff like that?

She'll just be replaced by another career bureaucrat. Nothing will change.

“The GSA is basically the federal governments office managers, providing things like office space, desks, and cars to other agencies”
GSA is involved in a lot more than Desks. Nearly everything the govt buys can be done through the GSA, doesn’t have to be but a lot is.
GSA is the only self funded department. They get a % of everything purchased through them, which is then used for dept costs. So it actually comes out of the profit margin for the businesses selling through the GSA.

ROFLMFAO!!!
Stop it, you’re killing me...
Outraged that such abuse was caught and made public I’d say. Naw, he don’t care. He does it right out in the open for all the world to see.

Per Wikipedia: On February 3, 2010, Obama, in an unusual move for a sitting president, sharply criticized Bond and Republican senators for blocking Johnson's nomination, and complained that Republicans were blocking nominees for reasons that have nothing to do with their qualifications for their prospective jobs.[10] While at a retreat for Democratic senators, Obama made the comments in response to a question from Sen. Patrick Leahy about his judicial nominations. Obama expanded his answer to include not just blocked judicial nominations but also executive nominations as well:
Nobody can tell me that there's anything particularly wrong with her. They're blocking her because of some unrelated matter. Don't hold this this woman hostage. If you have an objection about my health-care policies, then let's debate the health-care policies. But don't suddenly end up having a GSA administrator who is stuck in limbo somewhere because you don't like something else that we're doing.

No; she thinks she’s the First Lady. (It’s difficult to refer to the Wookie as a “lady”.)

GSA wasn’t really doing anything out of the ordinary. (By current regime standards, anyway.)
Dumbsh**s just GOT CAUGHT at it.
If it wasn’t so close to elections, it would have been passed off as a joke, called an accounting error or just blamed on Bush. Then, The 0’s little pets would have all been promoted and reassigned to keep their mouths shut until after Statute of Limitations had run out.
How do you think they’ve done this crap in Chicago for so long?

Among the other expenses were $3,200 for a mind reader I knew they'd do that. < /s>
What I wish I knew is when the prosecution will take place. On the other hand, I guess I do know. NEVER.
