It’s hard to get too surprised about this stuff anymore. But according to the Post, Karl Rove deputies gave GOP campaign briefings to top officials in at least 15 government agencies last year.
Who’s vulnerable, who’s not and how you can use your agency’s resources for the team effort — that seems to have been the basic idea. Pretty much every department got a briefing. And oddly enough NASA too. That must have been an interesting one.
Then there’s this fun graf on DHS …
At the Department of Homeland Security, spokesman Russ Knocke at first said “there is no indication that any meeting on election targets, congressional districts or candidate support or assistance took place at the department.” He then called back to alter that remark, saying he had no indication that such a meeting was held at department “offices.” A department official said employees were briefed on “morale” but did not elaborate.
In short, there’s simply no end to how deep the corruption goes.
