Pentagon Staff Given "Stern Warning" After Using Government Credit Cards For Hookers & Gambling
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Last month, we learned that DEA agents were caught attending sex parties with prostitutes paid for by drug cartels. No one was fired. We also learned that the DEA agents who left a California student in a cell without food or water for five days until he was forced to drink his own urine in order to survive, were given a slap on the wrist. Finally, we heard about how TSA screeners in Denver were intentionally manipulating the naked body scanners in order to allow a particular agent to sexually molest male passengers. While the offenders were fired, no criminal charges were filed, and the TSA refuses to release their names. All of this was revealed in the last month alone.
Well, we can now add another to the list. In the latest example of abuse by the unaccountable feds, we learn that Pentagon employees have been caught using their government credit cards on gambling and escorts, amongst other things. Their punishment? A “stern warning.”
Politico reports that:
A Defense Department audit has found that a number of Pentagon employees used their government credit cards to gamble and pay for “adult entertainment” — findings that are expected to lead department officials to issue stern new warnings.
The audit of “Government Travel Charge Transactions” by the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General, which is to be made public in coming weeks, found that both civilian and military employees used the credit cards at casinos and for escort services and other adult activities — in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
A Pentagon official briefed on some of the findings stressed that the federal government did not necessarily pay the charges; holders of the cards pay their own bills and then submit receipts to be reimbursed for expenses related to their government business.
Wait a minute, “the federal government did not necessarily pay the charges?” How about you go ahead and find out for sure. It’d be nice to know if taxpayer money is paying to pad Sheldon Adelson and the Moonlight Bunny Ranch’s profit margins.
Because the review was an audit of the credit card system and not an investigation of particular individuals, the official said the likely result will be that the agencies and military branches most affected will be compelled to remind employees that the practice violates policy — and possibly the law.
Quite the deterrent. As punishment, they will be asked to please stop. Banker justice applies to Federal employees as well it seems, and they don’t even need to pay a fine!
Some estimates suggest that such prohibited purchases cost the government hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
It cited instances “where cardholders used purchase cards to subscribe to Internet dating services, buy video iPods for personal use and pay for lavish dinners that included top-shelf liquor.”
Late last year, federal auditors reported to Congress that the problem persists despite efforts to rein it in.
Well, when your effort to “rein it in” consists of asking the offenders to stop it “pretty please,” this is what you get.
In case you’re wondering why the Department of Justice is such an unmitigated joke, recall the following:

Just wanted to to make sure they spend on the American hookers.
Let's look at this a bit differently, shall we?
How about a list of Goobermintal Agencies NOT out of control?
Well there's the uh, um, er, the GAO. Those guys seem legit.
Note: Keyword "Seem".....
The "Stern Warning" consisted of:
Listen up you Scum Fucks! Next time use cash. Oh yea, you guys will literally be fucked soon as we move toward the much anticipated NWO / ZWO cashless society.
While I don't necessarily agree all the agencies should exist, a decent number of the Dept. of Commerce agencies ones don't seem to be too broken, mostly because they have a really low budget and it has to be spent of fairly visible stuff (e.g. weather satellites and public safety.) National Weather Service isn't doing too bad.
One of those big ammo orders turned out to not be that big, but does go to a handful of NOAA fisheries police, so YMMV. I'm not too stressed over the local meteorologist getting paycheck compared to all the other shit that goes down.
Add irs sec
Is this the tipping point......Nah!

Naughty, Naughty.....must never do that again with taxpayer money! Promise?
Every pentagon employee that has not been nailing hookers on the taxpayers dime is now on suicide watch.
"

Lol
What
Were they male hookers or female hookers? And were the profligate DoD employees male, female or other? (NOW THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO ASK AGAIN)
How is this any different than a DoD employee spending taxpayer money to turn his 0&4 in to high and tight (i.e Hair Club for Men instead of the Cheetah Club)
Answer: Prostitution is still illegal in the Puritanical USSA (even in Clark County, NV or Donald Trump's east coast hair gel cess pool).
As much as I don't give a shit about hookers and how people spend their off hours, I do give a shit about US government employees breaking US government laws (that plebes can be arrested for) without consequence.
Now if they were German hookers...
So, they got ANOTHER Tongue Lashing?
That's just gross! Who would want to do THAT to hookers?
The perps had to assume the position.
Great example of the average intelligance involved here that they would use Company credit cards for illegal activities and not think they would get nailed.
WTF
But they didn't get nailed. They got laid and loaded on your dime and then a light wrist-slap
Exactly. Would you use your credit card?
"Stern warning"... I certainly hope they didn't use any "trigger words" or "micro-aggressions". We wouldn't want them to suffer any mental anguish, now would we?
HE LOOKED AT ME! WHEN I WAS BEING STERNLY REPRIMANDED HE LOOKED AT ME. RIGHT IN MY EYES. HE MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME . JUSTICE DEPARTMENT! HERE NOW! DISCRIMINATION! HE LOOKED AT ME! VIEWERS PRIVILIGE! I DONT KNOW IF HE WAS WHITE. BUT HE LOOKED AT ME.
Don't sell it short--John Kerry's favorite diplomatic weapon is "stern words."
And don't forget Grady the steward's advice:
"Perhaps you should give them a talking to, sir. A STERN talking-to, if I may be so bold. Perhaps a bit more..."

So when do we grab the pitchforks already? Free Jon Corzine!!!
Hey, at least they weren't commiting real crime like fornicating on the beach....
Why are these people never fired?
We are quickly becoming like the old USSR, where if you weren't in the government, you starved.
By the way, the guy who splattered his airplane all over I-285 in Atlanta today was a retired Sheriffs Department employee. After only 16 years, he could retire and afford to buy a $100K plane. Nice work if you can get it.
Meanwhile, those of us that have to pay for this shit are counting pennies at the grocery store.
The other day I was running errands and wound up at the Family Dollar Store, wondering what all the shit is about the great economic recovery.
It's depressing man, depressing.
And some people wonder why so many are starting to think of bottled water, canned SPAM and Rottweilers.
According to the "statistics", my wife and I combine to put us around the 92nd percentile for household income.
I can remember being at the grocery store buying generic formula (b-feeding supplementation) because the name brand shit was "too expensive" for me. The babies on WIC, though. Oh they're too special for that. Nothing but the name brand shit for them.
THe fall of communism was always explained thusly to me as a child: Ivan and Igor get paid the same, but Ivan works while Igor jerks around all day. Eventually, Ivan says fuck it, why work.
The fall of "capitalism" will explained: Thomas works all day and then stops by the store on the way home and stands behind Shaneequa in line.
Are you saying Karma is a bitch?
Why are these people never fired?
Simple answer: public sector unions.
"By the way, the guy who splattered his airplane all over I-285 in Atlanta today was a retired Sheriffs "
So
Thats why traffic was backed up.
Somebody call the police. Not those masons; the other ones.
Those cards can be used like your regular credit cards, the government just pays you what you expense back to them. That's not to say that they weren't buying hookers on per diem, but they had to decide to forsake the really expensive dinner if they wanted the rub and tug after. Or whatever, I'm not going to judge.
The sad thing is it used to be reallllly sweet to travel on the government - whatever you find now is less repulisive than the glory days of the 80s and early 90s.
Please charge that to Hookers and Blow Corp, we are a non-profit educational company.
The "stern warning" bullshit is for simpleton media and public consumption, and to have it on record.
Off mic, off camera back at the office they are all yucking it up from the top down.
Planning their next "blow out" these motherfuckers do not give a shit and answer to no one!
Upvote for understatement of the day.
Very soon & in their demise they will answer to the followimg:
.45acp
.223 62 grain / 5x56
.308
.40
9mm hollow points
& nooses.
good lord! the tsa is now the model of accountability to which the dea, secret service & dod now aspire (they actually fired seomeone for a sex crime - naturally no charges though)? the t-frakin'-s-a?!? the agency who's been on a pr offensive for returning a $100k watch ("see! we don't steal everything we get the chance to!" is newsworthy?)
this country is well & truly screwed...
So the question is, who approved it and why isn't it taken out of their checks...
Gravy train is off the rails
Compared to selling guns directly to mexican cartels, yes this is like someone showing up late to work, tisk tisk.
Please vote; participation in the voting process enables these folks to claim they are a part of a legitimate government.
Draw a red line NOW!
/s
It's not like they can fire someone for "embarassing the agency" -- wrongful termination: they are already beyond shame and embarassment.

Syphilis and coke does have a habit of leaving great big holes in the grey matter. There are so many WTF and Full Retard headlines on a daily basis, it's a wonder America hasn't elected a pot smoking, gay black guy with a murky past. Oh wait.
I think the US passed the fruit basket republic stage quite some time ago as far as the civil service is concerned. That goes double for US Central Command "vetting" their CIA trained terrorists.
Talking of government credit cards, I remember that Mohammed Atta and the 9/11 terrorists apparently used an expired US government issue credit card to pay for their drinks at a bar shortly before they hijacked the planes.
Supplied by MOSSAD.
I remember a coworker on temporary duty returning home, happened enroute, to stop at roadside scenic overlook. A army officer noticed the vehicle with gov't plates stopped, got the GS-7 employee's info, and Viola! 30 day suspension for misuse of gov't vehicle. That was in the mid 1980's. You already know of the many clearly abusive and criminal behaviors that will not get them jailed, fired, or even admonished. I am a stranger in a strange land. I can't stand it anymore.
As someone else has likely mentioned. These MIC thieving rats commit felonious crimes w our money yet a guy having consensual sex with his wife/girlfriend on a beach gets 15 years of prison.
Makes you wanna...
It may have been a warning, but was it a stern warning?
So maybe those Shoddy Arabians are onto something....
How about 4,000 lashes in pubic for the offenders...
The impeached, bisbarred, dishonest serial rapist, B.J.Clinton taught us that morality doesn't matter.
In retrospect, arguably his filthy presidency was a watershed event in US history.
Got extra filthy with Billy the Arkansas rapist helped repeal Glass Steagal. It was all over at that moe3mn6t yet just beginning for Sandy Weill, Robert Rubin and Larry Summers.
They've been told over and over to only use .gov approved hookers and coke dealers where the charges only show up as miscellaneous expenses.
"You've let yourself down, you've let the class down and you've let the school down."
WOW! They don't even give stern warnings to cops that kill unarmed civilians.
How about this guy? Quoted from an ABC news article on the subject.
"Clearly, the behavior displayed by these individuals neither comports with our values nor represents the good service of the vast majority of or service members or DOD Civilians,” said the official.
And then; “While any misuse of the card is taken seriously, the amount of this misuse is extremely small given the size and scope of the DoD travel charge card program,” said the official. Some 1.6 million employees have the travel cards.
This is the largest beauracracy in the government according to David Walker, a former Comptroller General and head of the GAO. Says it's too big to even audit, and can't even tell you how many contractors they have.
Disgusting.
Sorry - how do I get this card?
Damn, I wish I could get a Federal job.
Seriously? A reprimand?
I worked for the Pentagon before the kikes took over. This is a gift to scum.
While that behavior is inexcusable, this article is very misleading. The government travel cards are billed to the individual, not the government. They have to submit a travel claim, which is typically subject to a ridiculous amount of bureaucracy before its approved. If there were charges to the government travel card that were not reimbursable, the individual is on the hook. Travelers are payed a fixed amount for meals and incidentals and they can spend it all on food or eat mcdonalds and spend the rest on hookers, their mortgage, or whatever they want. The government used to reimburse actual meal expenses but found it more efficient to just pay a flat rate rather than auditing everyone's purchases. It is against policy to use the government travel card for anything other than direct travel expenses, but there really is no advantage to ever use it. Most of us only use it for airfare and rental cars because it's required and use personal cards for everything else so we can earn points/rewards. The gov card is just a boondoggle for Citibank and only morons use it for anything other than the bare minimum.
Hey, cool man, now we know what happened to the $1.3 Trillion Donald Rumsfeld was refering to the day before 911 at his Pent-up-goon speech where he said that $1.3 T was unaccounted for.
We learn something every day, Z/H.
Learning sure is fun, eh.
