Homeland Security adviser during the Obama administration. Corrupt leftists politicians. Who would have guessed.

Former FEMA Official Accused of Taking Bribes in Hurricane Maria Recovery

Whatever the penalty, I hope it's doubled for profiteering.

Well if she's guilty she should go to jail. But have you previously screamed about "the presumption of innocence"? It's all I hear from DP's right wing when a right winger is merely "accused" of doing something. But when an alleged left-winger is accused, suddenly it's proof.


Moore, Trump, Franken, y'know...
 
They got people killed and should be charged accordingly.

As Trump steals $155 million from FEMA during the hurricane season for his vanity border wall.
 
If she is found guilty I hope she receives the maximum penalties possible.

Greed and corruption effects all of us

You've never seen the stats on criminal indictments, pleas, guilty verdicts, and prison sentences according to each political party have you?

It's not a good look for the Republicans.

She was first hired as a government employee during the Bush administration. She was promoted and worked as a government employee in various agencies throughout Bush's 8 years in office.

She was only an Interim Deputy Homeland Security Advisor during Obama's administration, lasting only 6 months.

She started working for the Federal Government in 2003, when Bush was President.

She spent 6 months as the Interim Deputy Homeland Security Advisor.

Where is your evidence she's a "leftist"? She isn't a politician at all. She's an expert in all things weather.

Why do you lie?

Who got killed, and how did their sleazy little quid pro quo get anyone killed?

Don't get me wrong. She was horrifically wrong taking little spiffs, and not so little spiffs, from him to get him a contract. But I don't see what either one did that caused lives to be lost. Unless she knew his company couldn't do the job and people died as a result of it.
 
Deuce said:
Yes, that.

I'm not doubting you. I just don't know about it. Who died and why? I know about the people who died in the storm itself, and those who died after that because of a lack of food and water (although they did have Bounty paper towels, thanks to the asshole in the WH).

LOL! FEMA Deputy Regional office Administrators are NOT political appointees. They are appointed by the FEMA Administrator or Deputy Administrator on behalf of the President. Which would mean that she was appointed to that position by FEMA Administrator on behalf of President Trump.

Region II: Office of the Regional Administrator | FEMA.gov

Region II: Office of the Regional Administrator
This page provides information about the Office of the Regional Administrator.

Thomas Von Essen, Regional Administrator
Dr. Asha Tribble, Deputy Regional Administrator, Region II
Joseph Hof, Acting Regional Counsel
Donald Caetano, External Affairs Director

Federal Coordinating Officers
For each presidentially-declared disaster or emergency the FEMA Administrator or Deputy Administrator, on behalf of the President, appoints a Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) to manage the Federal response, recovery, and mitigation operations. Together with the State Coordinating Officer (SCO), the FCO implements response and recovery operations and coordinates efforts with involved Federal, State, Tribal and local government agencies as well as charities, nonprofit organizations and the private sector. The FCO and SCO collaborate to assess damage, identify and prioritize survivors’ needs, and manage the full range of programs and resources required to carry out the immediate response and long-term recovery.

Through Field Offices, Disaster Recovery Centers and Disaster Survivor Assistance Teams, the FCO advises individuals, families, and businesses about available Federal disaster assistance. Most importantly, the FCO establishes an environment consistent with FEMA’s core values of compassion, fairness, integrity and respect in all disaster assistance activities.

Lack of power contributes to the food and water issues.

By the end of the first page, two of the OP's main points has been discredited:

1) She wasn't Homeland Security adviser during the Obama administration.
2) There is no evidence of being "a leftist" and was originally hired during the Bush Admin

My point is that the OP is in a rush to paint Democrats as corrupt. I advise to make sure your own house is clean before pointing to streaks on neighbor's windows.
