Quote:A longtime senior official at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency admitted to accepting almost $900,000 in pay and benefits for work he didn’t do by pretending he was away on missions for the CIA.

John Beale, 64, pleaded guilty today in federal court in Washington to stealing government property. He collected paychecks from about 2000 through this year despite absences from work that he explained by falsely claiming he was on assignment for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to a statement of his offense reviewed in court.

Big numbers for that pay too.

Quote:EPA Inspector General Arthur Elkins Jr. criticized the agency for “an absence of even basic internal controls”

Good thing the EPA doesn't have any important responsibilities, right? I mean, it's not like we're talking about clean water here......

Sounds like a liberal...

WHAT SAY YE?

Pled guilty and only gets 37 months in jail. Can keep his gov't retirement.

Wonder if he got paid for that time, "I'm doing some special work for Dept of Prisons..."

Yup, and pleaded the 5th in front of congress after pleading guilty. Pledging cooperation.

Appoint him as an Ambassador to Somalia or Syria.
