The official tasked with keeping watch over the Department of Homeland Security was instead watching out for senior officials he considered his "friends," according to a Senate probe.
A subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs released a scathing report on Thursday that effectively confirmed many of the ethical allegations that have trailed Charles Edwards ever since he resigned his post in December as acting DHS inspector general. The report determined that he "jeopardized the independence" of his office by socializing with senior DHS officials and had reports "altered or delayed" to accommodate the department he was supposed to oversee.
In the wake of the report, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson announced that Edwards, who after leaving the acting IG post took a different job at DHS, would be placed on administrative leave.

We really got along great without the DHS, the TCA, and a number of Alphabet soup agencies who exist only to collect government paychecks without performing any useful service except stealing land form Nevada and Texas ranchers and such. It's time to just plain release these folks to the private sector and relieve us of the tax burden.
@ 6:38-They could not survive in the private sector because they are useless with nothing to offer in the real world.
