Janet Napolitano is sorry she got caught trying to rig a state audit: And she still has her job.
American Thinker ^ | 05/03/2017 | Thomas Lifson

In a contentious 4 ½ hour legislative hearing yesterday in Sacramento, Janet Napolitano, President of the University of California made a pro-forma apology for conduct that should have gotten her fired. She tried to rig an independent state audit, and she got caught, and she is sorry [I paraphrase]. Alexi Koseff explains further in the Sacramento Bee:

University of California President Janet Napolitano apologized Tuesday for creating the “wrong impression” that she had improperly interfered in a critical state audit of her office released last week.

At a legislative hearing to review the audit findings, Napolitano acknowledged that she and her staff communicated with campus leaders about a survey meant to independently assess the value of her office’s operations.

“While we believe we did things appropriately, it is clear in retrospect that we could have handled this better,” she said. “I am sorry that we did it this way, because it has created the wrong impression and detracted from the important fact that we accept the recommendations in the audit report.”

She didn’t just communicate, her people got advance copies of the responses to the auditors questions, and then demanded and got changes.

Auditor Elaine Howle has asserted that the UC Office of the President interfered with her work by reviewing surveys sent independently to campus leaders and requesting changes that reflected more positively on its operations before they were submitted.

“In my 17 years as state auditor, we have never had a situation like this,” she said Tuesday.

As the well-compensated chief executive of a $30 billion a year tax exempt enterprise owned by the citizens of California, Janet Napolitano had a lot riding on the outcome of a state audit she was about to face.

Why do this criminals continue to walk free? If anyone else had done this, they’d be in jail.

Audit: UC President Napolitano Hid $175 Million While Raising Tuition

SOURCE Breitbart News Network ^ | 30 Apr 2017 | Chriss W. Street / FR Posted by george76

The California State Auditor issued a scathing report last week alleging that University of California President and former Obama Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano raised tuitions while her office hid $175 million. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

==========================================

THIS JUST IN---The University of California is among the largest source of donations to Hillary Clinton....$1.37 billion. If each of the 238,700 students in the UC system donated $100 to Hillary, that'd still only be $23.87 million. Must be some very big donors to make up the difference between that and $1.37 billion.

It is also possible that UofC head Janet Napolitano, broke FEC rules and committed other federal and civil offenses including but not limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government (involves several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government),

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights).

<><> Possibly full investigations crentering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a "pattern" (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the "pattern" of racketeering activity.

<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

Pres Trump must demand these agencies launch investigations of these activities at once:

<><> FBI -- Wire Fraud Division

<><> IRS-Fraud Unit

<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,

<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.

<><> DOJ's Criminal Division-- Public Integrity Section

<><> DOJ Criminal Division--Organized Crime and Gang Section.

She should have at least been fired, but if you’re well connected, never mind.

Democrats just have to cheat and steal and be forgiven when they say they are sorry. Only Republicans can go to jail.

At this point, I think another entire audit has to be done, and a warning that if any more secret account pop up....someone goes immediately to jail.

But I would also say this....you could go to any NCAA football college and find at least twenty million dollars in secret accounts.

Why did she think she could get away with that?

1) she’s a liberal democrat
2) she’s always gotten away with it because of #1

Well, she said she was ‘sorry’. That’s all a liberal, progressive has to do to be exonerated.

Like all Clinton c***s***ers (and Janet Napolitano is one of the worst), they commit crimes, apologize, use all the words Napolitano did here—the Clinton playbook—and they are free.

How I hate the evil Clintons, the most dangerously corrupt criminals in American political history! Their tentacles spread far and wide, and are so destructive.
