Homeland Security officials found guilty of falsifying Government documents on border security

  According to this story a Homeland Security Supervisor, Eugenio  Pedraza, was found guilty of falsifying Government documents regarding border patrol agents assisting both illegal aliens and illegal narcotics over the border.

According to the indictment, Pedraza reportedly attempted to inhibit the review of significant gaps in the DHS-OIG’s investigation into numerous cases that involved Border Patrol agents assisting in the “unlawful smuggling of undocumented aliens and narcotics into the United States,” through several ports-of-entry in Texas. The indictment claims that Pedraza failed to ensure that investigations assigned to his office were properly carried out. 

Pedraza was found guilty of falsifying documents with DHS-OIG special agent Robert Vargas and former special agent Wayne Ball, according to local reports. Vargas had previously investigated a criminal case relating to Border Patrol officers helping a Mexican cartel bring drugs into the U.S. He was instructed by Pedraza to draw up inaccurate memorandums of activity, according to court records. Vargas’ testimony alleged that Pedraza told him to “fill in the gaps” in the written reports of activity relating to the investigation, according to The Monitor.

Once the dishonest documents were drawn up, Agent Ball willingly signed them. The Monitor reported that in January 2013, Ball was convicted of falsifying documents. 

  But that is not all:

Pedraza also enlisted Special Agent Marco Rodriguez to help obstruct the internal review, according to court filings. Pedraza instructed Rodriguez to falsify written reports of activity for two cases, both involving agents helping undocumented citizens and/or drugs enter the United States. Charges against Rodriguez were dropped for unlisted reasons, according to the Monitor.

  So, why were there gaps in the official documents in the first place, why did Homeland Security decide to falsify the documents in an attempt to cover up the gaps, and why did Homeland Security try to obstruct the investigation into this matter?

  The answers to these questions are obvious to me but I will let you draw your own conclusions. I am sure that despite these convictions Barack Obama will claim there is not even a “smidgen of corruption” here…..if the mainstream media decides to bother following up on this, which I doubt.
