DOJ Looking into ‘Misuse of Government Resources’ Alleged in Project Veritas ‘Deep State’ Sting

The U.S. Department of Justice said on Wednesday it would look into alleged “misuse of government resources to advance personal interests” in response to a video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas purporting to expose “deep state” federal employees.

DEVELOPING: Statement from DOJ on today's vid: "These allegations are deeply concerning. Department policy prohibits misuse of government resources to advance personal interests. We are looking into this immediately and have referred this matter to the Inspector General as well."

6,070 people are talking about this


In the video, a Department of Justice paralegal, Allison Hrabar, is caught on camera saying there is “a lot of talk about how we can, like, resist from inside.”

Hrabar is reportedly a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). She talks about how she has a friend, who is also a member of DSA, working in the Department of Agriculture and “slowing down” the process by which people get cut off from food stamps.

“We have a member who works for the people who distribute food stamps, and they can, like, take that away, and they’re slowing what they do… What they’re doing means that people are going to be able to stay on food stamps for another month or two, which is, like, really important,” Hrabar said.

The video also suggests that Hrabar is seemingly using her work computer at the DOJ to research DSA’s political targets, apparently including looking up a lobbyist’s license plate to organize a protest outside his home.

Another person featured in O’Keefe’s video is Jessica Schubel, who is a “former Chief of Staff for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the last Obama administration,” according to Project Veritas.

Schubel can be seen discussing that there is “like, a little resistance movement” inside the government in Washington. She can also be seen stating that she received confidential information from a friend at the Department of Health and Human Services.

It is WAY TO HARD to get a Federal employee fired.:hammer:

Trump needs to revisit those laws if Republicans in Congress will go along with that. Who knows what some Republicans might do these days...

We need to be able to fire some one on the spot, and kick them out of the door if need be. Cheaper and so much more efficient! :thumbup:

This ex-federal employee disagrees. Until we develop a way to actually look deeply into a person's heart and soul we need to maintain some due process, There are already procedures in place that allow suspension while charges are investigated, with termination an option if the charges are substantiated; there are also procedures for such a termination to be challenged by the employee.

This is a good thing, as my wife can attest; she frequently sleeps with a guy who was fired because his supervisor set him up! The system allowed an investigation which revealed the truth and the errant supervisor was the one terminated in the end.

I stand corrected. I can see how this could happen as well..

But it is difficult and time consuming. Just wish we could streamline it a bit, and get the rats out of the wood pile quicker and easier..

Trump issued some new rules.

Government workers union fought those rules in court.

Judge issued a ruling and Trump lost the rules.

So we are back to the fact that it is nearly impossible to fire a government employee even if the employee deserves to be fired 10 times over.

There actually may be some need for protection as a state o government employee. Without any protection every time the political power changes they'd like to clean house on any employee non affiliated with their party. It's simply not good enough to do a good job at work you've also got to support the party...
