I fail to see why VA officials who deliberately falsified waiting lists to collect cash bonuses haven’t been prosecuted for fraud or at the very least fired and made to pay back the bonus. There is ample evidence for a federal grand jury indictment so what is the problem with the US Attorney’s Office? There is also likely enough evidence for families of deceased veterans to pursue civil suits for wrongful death. My bet is that these officials will just take early retirement and there will be no criminal or civil action taken against them.
