The EPA Could Use Some Oversight

A leading American expert on climate change and the Environmental Protection Agency’s highest-paid employee [$206,000 per year, John C. Beale] pled guilty in September, and has been accused of major fraud of almost $1 million in salary and other benefits over a decade.

Beale’s scam was revealed in 2013 when it was noticed that he was still receiving his salary a year and a half after he retired.

When first questioned by EPA officials early in 2013 about his alleged CIA undercover work, Beale brushed them off by saying he couldn’t discuss it, according to Sullivan.

Weeks later, after being confronted again by investigators, Beale admitted to lying, but “didn’t show much remorse” and explained he acted this way to “puff up his own image.”

He claimed he was on various secret missions for the CIA for over a decade, while in fact he was just hanging out at home, and no one caught on.  Really? 

His lawyers are pleading “psychological” problems.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
