The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general and his career staff are suing an executive branch entity, alleging it tried to destroy them financially for exposing and unprecedented "level of dysfunction and dishonesty" inside the agency.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in the Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C. alleges workers were subjected to a "Kafkaesque system" of retribution, and that one federal official even joked about assassinating the current Homeland Security inspector general's predecessor.

Inspectors general were created in the aftermath of Watergate to work as independent watchdogs to police for waste, fraud and abuse inside large federal agencies and Cabinet departments. The independent watchdogs have their own oversight body called the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency.

The left needs to be overwhelmed by lawsuits against every policy and position they take. Conservatives need to become experts in picking Courts in which the majority are conservative. The left has done this for decades while the GOP takes their losses by conceding to retire on their "principles". Taking the "high road" is what has brought us to this point in our nation.

The Postal Service got an Inspector General (IG) assigned to it after Congress accused the Chief Postal Inspector of lying in a hearing.

The IG’s office came with a staff of 450 and thousands of square feet of office space.

The IG herself was something of a babe, appointed by guess who?

BJ Clinton😳

This is how the Deep State spreads its tentacles.

If some smart FReeper finds and posts a picture of the first IG, please ping Laz.

They are "enmeshed in an unjust, Kafkaesque system produced by an unconstitutionally structured entity and abetted by a complete absence of independent oversight, accountability and lawful due process," the lawsuit alleges.
Is this suit against the entire Federal government? Hope so, for, given these charges, has merit.

The left is always one step ahead though. They have come up with another story to push which will help stop that pesky SCOTUS from interfering in their plans.
