DOJ DISGRACE: Dept. of Justice RIPS Obama Administration Over Sex Harassment The Department of Justice slammed the Obama administration on Wednesday, citing recent evidence that highlighted “systemic” sexual harassment reports that were largely ignored throughout the agency for the previous eight years. According to Fox News, the DOJ’s Inspector General discovered evidence that former officials throughout the Justice Department had mishandled multiple reports of sexual harassment; including “officials often being let off the hook or even rewarded.” While a spokesperson for the Trump administration refused to comment on the situation, he did confirm that a “working group” has been convened to investigate the report. “The Post reported that the IG found one top attorney in the Office of Immigration Litigation, Victor Lawrence, ‘groped the breasts and buttocks of two female trial attorneys’ at a happy hour,” writes Fox. “He reportedly got a reprimand, a title change and “relief from supervisory duties” but was not suspended and did not receive a loss in pay or grade. There reportedly was a concern that a suspension would “deprive the government” of his services.” “'[T]he Department was very disappointed with the issues that occurred in the Obama administration,” said DOJ spokesperson Ian Prior. https://www.hannity.com/media-room/...ips-obama-administration-over-sex-harassment/
I expect this is widespread throughout federal government and not limited to the Obama administration. There is a recent increased focus on sexual harassment in the work place in D.C. after all the complaints regarding Congressional politicians came to light.
It would be nice to imagine the world at large will step into 2018 more immune to propaganda. Familiarity breeds contempt they say? We need a lot more contempt for this crap. I want to see a lot more guests shouting down the Hannitys next year.
This is true. However, there is a special concern when it comes to fbi/justice department/law enforcement agencies. These employees are subject to blackmail and the also have contorted or direct ways of making lives miserable for victims who do not cooperate with their demands. I don't want to get too hoity toity and naïve and say that they need to be above reproach but you know, they should all know what the rules and penalties are. Not just with sex issues but in general. For example, you would never have an assistant fbi director accepting bribes knowing that investigating bribes and public corruption is one of the primary duties of the FBI. WAIT NEVERMIND!!!. BAD EXAMPLE.
Hopefully Trump gives a speech on this whole sexual harassment culture within the administration, he will set the moral example for sure.
