GSA exec with top-secret clearance didn't disclose China trip | |
2014-06-04 | |
Top General Services Administration officials learned of a troubling discovery by the agency's watchdog office back in December: a GSA executive responsible for intelligence agency customers had gone to China a year earlier without telling anyone. The official not only held a top-secret compartmented information clearance that required him to report the trip, he failed to disclose decades-old felony arrests or report multiple contacts with foreign nationals, according to a Dec. 6, 2013, memo from the GSA Office of Inspector General to the agency's top acquisition and human resources officials. There was more: The GSA employee misused a government travel card, made false statements on ethics and national security forms and failed to disclose an airplane he owned as an asset in a 2008 bankruptcy case, among other serious misconduct findings.

#4 WTF - over? How on God's green earth is this guy not in chains? He's walking CI case study: --Money problems ? Check --Unreported travel to critical CI country ? Check --Unreported foreign contacts from a critical CI country? Check --Knowing failing to disclose prior felony arrests? Check At least with Ames and Hanson we could blame our own CI folks for not catching them. This guy lands in our lap and we fumble. Thanks Erica "Red" Holder. |

#1 While Mr. Wear initially told investigators he'd disclosed all of his assets in his 2008 bankruptcy, he subsequently said he wasn't sure if he told his attorney about an airplane he'd owned since 2002, according to the case memo. Large dollar gifts from Won Hung Lo.... no need to report those, right ? |
