<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nBack in December<\/a>, we talked about John Beale, the EPA employee who convinced his supervisors that he was also a CIA agent and defrauded the agency of nearly one million dollars. Well, it seems that he had help according to the Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n The expenses [Beth Craig] processed for Beale would sometimes exceed $20,000 for a single trip. In 2007, for example, Beale traveled to England, Sweden, India and Los Angeles on the taxpayer dime, charging $36,103.51.<\/p>\n The report also says that Craig knew that Beale claimed that he worked for the CIA and that she approved his timecards though he was rarely at work. Beale would often tell Craig that he had to \u201cgo to Langley,\u201d according to the report. \u201cCraig explained that she did not ask for details regarding Beale\u2019s CIA work and agreements because she assumed it was true and the documents existed,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n Craig is the second EPA official, apart from Beale, to be implicated in the scandal. Former EPA administrator Robert Brenner recommended \u201cretention bonuses\u201d for Beale, a close friend of his. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Dude got away with it for almost 13 years and got 32 months with Tiny and Bubba, so give the rest of that time to his accomplices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
