Two VA Directors defy congressional committee - Refuse to answer questons.
2015-11-09
[MilCorruption.com] There has to be a hot place in hell reserved for anyone in the Veterans Administration who cheats the government and defrauds our country's veterans.

"DELAY AND DENY UNTIL THEY ALL DIE" may sound a bit cynical, but more and more of this nation's wounded and disabled warriors are beginning to believe the V.A. system is rigged so a few fat cats at the top can get rich while the rest - the 95% good workers - remain unappreciated and underpaid .

We've just witnessed a spectacle where two arrogant and obnoxious V.A. big shots - Directors Diana Rubens (Philadelphia) and Kimberly Graves (St. Paul, Minn.) defied a Congressional committee, refusing to answer questions about corruption, while hiding behind the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
They're refusing to testify because the I.G. is pressing charges. It's arrogant and cynical but they are behaving (as we might have a right to surmise) as if they're guilty and trying to stay out of prison...
Like gangsters and subversives, they have a right to play that game. But public opinion and an unamused Congressman Jeff Miller, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, may be able to bring them to justice somewhere in the foreseeable future.

Right now, both Rubens and Graves have been cited in an Inspector General's report of Sept. 28, for abusing the V.A.'s relocation program to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The I.G. has preferred criminal charges on the duo to the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia.
Be too bad if they missed Sturgis next year.

#4  VA is like the NHS, except its for far less forceful people.

No wonder the NHS kills so many.

#2  I like DV's GAU-8/A remedy. Is there a website or address where I can send money to help defray the cost of the first burst ?

#1  Congressman Jeff Miller, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, may be able to bring them to justice somewhere in the foreseeable future.

I recommend using the GAU-8/A for bringing them to justice.
