| The 'Spy' Who Fooled the EPA |
| 2013-11-22 |
| The Department of Justice in late September announced a plea agreement with John C. Beale, until recently a senior career employee at EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. Beale, 64, has admitted to devoting most of his 23-year career to bilking taxpayers of some $900,000 in pay and expenses. Prosecutors estimate that from 2000 to 2013 Beale was absent from his EPA duties for a total of 2.5 years, claiming to be working for "Langley" or on a special EPA "research project." |

| #2 Beale lived his EPA cover for 23 years, never missed a step increase, never wrote a book, never leaked a secret, was never involved in any shady foreign weapons transfers or murders, and only cost the taxpayer $900,000. Where do we find such men ? |

| #1 Beale, 64, has admitted to devoting most of his 23-year career to bilking taxpayers of some $900,000 in pay and expenses. I feel that way about a number of Federal employees. |
