FBI to investigate VA
The Washington Times reports that FBI Director James Comey told a Congressional panel that his agency will be opening an investigation of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs given the initial reports from the VA’s Office of the Inspector General regarding the thousands of veterans who weren’t served by the hospital in Phoenix and the possibility that scores had died as a result;
He did not elaborate on the investigation, but a U.S. law enforcement official said earlier in the day that the Justice Department had formally asked the FBI to assist in reviewing materials provided by the inspector general’s office. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation on the record.
I guess all of the horses are out now, so they come in and close the barn door.

About damn time. I just hope the correct people are held responsible. And by responsible I mean thrown in jail.
The FBI is on it! And right on time–just like Benghazi. Thet arrived weeks after the attack. I think they’re still investigating it. If I recall correctly, all they really ever had to do was contact CNN. So, my suggestion to the FBI is start with Fox News this time.
Yeah, it’s always so comforting when one group of bureaucrats investigates another group of bureaucrats. With any luck, they can investigate until the statute of limitations runs out on any potential criminal charges. Meanwhile all the little union thugs are continuing their bad behavior.
If only we could convince the gatekeepers that spending their energy actually doing their jobs would cost them no more than spending energy finding ways to NOT do their jobs.
I’m wondering just what the FBI expects to find in the IG reports that the IG didn’t. Maybe FIRING A FEW SES MANAGERS might wake the rank and file up. Grow a pair…
Injustice department involvement = Official cover up in process.
Classic Eric Holder.
Jonn…”I guess all of the horses are out now, so they come in and close the barn door.” Nothing better I can add.
I do hope this is for real and not part of the ongoing Obama road show, opening in a town near you soon. (By the way Kerry does a great Black Face, Al Jolson medley.) Who am I kidding though, it’s already been open across America and to lousy reviews I might add. “If it won’t play in Peoria…”
The reasoning here is simple. No one can comment on an ongoing FBI investigation. Two years in, the government is still saying they can’t comment on Benghazi because there is still an open investigation into it. Watch, the next time a reporter asks about the VA scandal at a white house press conference you can bet that the answer will be “I can’t comment on an ongoing FBI investigation”. I’m waiting for Bergdahl to disappear from the news because of the open investigation being run on him.
