We’ve talked about the Environmental Protection Agency’s lead climate change expert, John C. Beale<\/a>. He pleaded guilty to his fraud, which earned him hundreds of thousands of dollars while he pretended to be on CIA secret squirrel missions on the government dime. His supervisors and work mates don’t understand how this could happen according to NBC News<\/a> sent to us by one of our ninjas;<\/p>\n

To explain his long absences, Beale told agency officials — including McCarthy — that he was engaged in intelligence work for the CIA, either at agency headquarters or in Pakistan. At one point he claimed to be urgently needed in Pakistan because the Taliban was torturing his CIA replacement, according to Sullivan.

\u201cDue to recent events that you have probably read about, I am in Pakistan,\u201d he wrote McCarthy in a Dec. 18, 2010 email. \u201cGot the call Thurs and left Fri. Hope to be back for Christmas \u2026.Ho, ho, ho.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Beale had no relationship with the CIA at all. Sullivan, the EPA investigator, said he confirmed Beale didn\u2019t even have a security clearance. He spent much of the time he was purportedly working for the CIA at his Northern Virginia home riding bikes, doing housework and reading books, or at a vacation house on Cape Cod.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s never been to Langley (the CIA\u2019s Virginia headquarters),\u201d said Sullivan. \u201cThe CIA has no record of him ever walking through the door.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, the bureaucracy was so lazy that they didn’t even put a moment’s thought into the question “Why would a CIA agent work for the EPA?” It takes just a minute to check on a security clearance, but they’re too busy being business unfriendly at the EPA to even care, apparently. I’m guessing that they’ll never figure that because he was lying about his employment history, he might have been lying about climate change, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
