70 percent THAT WE KNOW OF.

I would be willing to bet 100% are as corrupt as a Mexican drug cartel.

The VA system also fortells the government employees compensation plans for Obamacare managers.(ACA)

That would explain the system's love of government run healthcare.

“used to dole out bonuses to VA executives.”

FRAUD! Plain and simple. Identify them, prosecute them, jail them, and make them reimburse the taxpayer every dime.
