POGO Challenges the U.S. Office of Government Ethics
The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) wasn't fooled by the OGE's response to their earlier Freedom of Information Request, in which the OGE essentially said "oops -- we can't find any of former Secretary Mineta's 2000 financial disclosures."
In POGO's appeal letter sent last week, General Counsel Scott Amey calls OGE's FOIA response a "non-responsive finding" and requests additional information, including the logs of the lady who is responsible for destroying outdated financial disclosures (which Mr. Mineta's 2000 disclosure was decidedly not!)
As I mentioned earlier, there's a major coverup going on here, very likely spearheaded by former USDOT Secretary Mineta. He, of course, fraudulently covered up the size of his transaction in Trimble Navigation stock options, because to disclose the truth would have shown everybody that Trimble, in effect, "bought themselves" a Cabinet member. The facts are that Mineta pushed a number of new technology initiatives for their benefit when he became Secretary of Transportation, and I have passed on details to both the FBI and USDOT OIG. No matter how you couch it, he was on the take. Our nation deserves much better.
POGO's appeal letter clearly indicates my involvement in driving this investigation, so any anonymity I may have enjoyed is out the window. That's OK, as I'm quite sure that the folks who are in on the Traffic.com scandal already knew who was chasing them.
