'Former SEIU Official Appointed by Obama to Investigate Union Corruption'

Okay no FLAMES please. But I'm 'series' this does make some sense. To wit:

When I was a young whippersnapper and learning all my Management 'stuff' in Commercial Construction, the place I worked did some of the oddest things. As in promoting complete slugs to be Job-Site Foreman (not Superintendents).

And when I asked one the best Superintendents the Co had that I was working with -- who was also the meanest sob walking a job-site if he didn't know you really really good -- Why?

His answer made all the sense in the world: 'Who knows better on how to catch a guy goofing off, or hiding out on the 22nd Floor, than a person --Who Used To Do It!

It all became very clear and then made all the sense in the world.

However that answer did give me some pause, as I was was getting promoted faster than Superman could change clothes :-)

LOL!
True in the real world, but in DC? Not!

I understand the point. He may be well qualified to know where to look for evidence of corruption, but what will he do with that information once he finds it?

I think it's more likely that information will be used to advise the union management what evidence needs to be destroyed and what records need to be sanitized before someone else finds it than to be used for prosecution.
