That's just mind blowing! Shouldn't there at the very least be a requirement that DHS do their background investigations on the people who are trying to get a job in the offices where a LOT of the previous "employees" have already shown that politicians can't really be trusted and are known for being self-serving rather than people serving?

@Kelli Yarbrough the ENTIRE political SYSTEM needs an overhaul. BUT, since the Lunatics (politicians) are RUNNING the asylum (USA), I DON'T see that happening !? I think the system started out on some good principals, but human nature being what it is, it's been slowly undermined, poisoned, twisted & turned into a shell. Having it be self-regulating seems to be the worst fault. What slick politician would put themselves out of a job ? I have zero faith in most politicians! Even if they START in politics as hard-working, honest people, they become something less. Some shill for a mega-corporation. Mega-Corporations are the other "Horn" on the beast that is rending our nation apart. Wish I had better answers, but I don't. I guess I should get more involved on my local level. I guess we ALL should. ( For example, my local town sent a legal "cease & desist" to someone who baked cookies with the town crest on them to bring to a meeting at the town hall. They were not sold. Cookies - My town paid a lawyer some huge fee because someone brought cookies to a meeting ? If it wasn't for cellphones having cameras, know one would know. Now it's a "tempest in a teapot" ! Your tax dollars are at work. Sigh. A simple word to the bakers like, "Hey, these are beautiful, but you can't sell them, or the lawyers will freak!" Would work ! Who hires a lawyer for that ?! Sigh.

Oh - wow, wow, wow. So, by comparison (and this was back in the ninety's), I got off a bus after agreeing to a friend's suggestion we go white waters rafting after a hard night's partying. I got handed a cold wetsuit and watched as bedraggled people handed off their equipment for the River Rats Rafting Crew. We wandered down to a 4.5 grade river (I later discovered rivers have 'grades') that they had not only set up a camera to catch the moment you went over the falls but expected it. Our guide, thankfully told us to wrap our hands around the rope inside the boat and hang on for dear life and we made it through without losing anyone as we want over the precipitous falls. I have never become more sober so quickly in my entire life.
