Although the nation’s lawmakers, federal department heads and the Hate-Trump news media are consumed with the Coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic, no one appears concerned with the continued “drain the capital swamp” program for one reason or another.
In one such case, the National Association of Chiefs of Police advisor and editor of Conservative Base obtained an unclassified Justice Department report about deception, theft, and removal of confidential information at America’s enormous Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
A federal grand jury in the U.S. “capital beltway” handed down a shocking 16-count indictment against a President Barack Obama appointed Acting Inspector General for the DHS for the alleged theft of proprietary software and confidential databases from the DHS as part of a scheme to defraud the U.S. government.
Besides the upper-echelon attorneys working for Attorney General William Barr, President Donald Trump’s appointed Top Cop, the current DHS Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari and Inspector General Tammy L. Whitcomb of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) were front-and-center making the announcement to reporters who had spent eight-years helping President Obama and his minions avoid transparency.
“It was a [Obama’s] Democratic Party administration with a number of leftist crooks that required protection from the media, unlike today when the news media are pursuing the ruin of the POTUS, his appointees, and his supporters,” said former federal narcotics officer Christine Meirs-Dawson.
Widespread Corruption
The federal indictment charges Charles K. Edwards, 59, of Sandy Spring, Maryland, and Murali Yamazula Venkata, 54, of Aldie, Virginia, with conspiracy to commit theft of government property and to defraud the United States, theft of government property, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft. The indictment also charges Venkata with destroying Homeland Security records.
According to the allegations in the indictment, from October 2014 to April 2017, Edwards, Venkata, and other suspects executed a scheme to defraud the U.S. government by stealing confidential and proprietary software from DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG), along with sensitive government databases containing personal identifying information (PII) of DHS and USPS employees, so that Edwards’s company, Delta Business Solutions, could later sell an enhanced version of DHS-OIG’s software to the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Agriculture at a profit.
Although Edwards had left DHS-OIG in December 2013, he continued to leverage his relationship with Venkata and other DHS-OIG employees to steal the software and the sensitive government databases.
The Department of Justice officials report in their case file:
“The indictment further alleges that, in addition to stealing DHS-OIG’s software and the sensitive government databases, Venkata and others also assisted Edwards by reconfiguring his laptop so that he could properly upload the stolen software and databases, provided troubleshooting support whenever Edwards required it, and helped him build a testing server at his residence with the stolen software and databases, which contained PII.
“As further part of the alleged scheme, Edwards retained software developers in India for the purpose of developing his commercial alternative of DHS-OIG’s software.”
The indictment is part of an ongoing investigation by DHS-OIG and USPS-OIG and is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Victor R. Salgado of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney David B. Kent of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
