That's not ironic. That's outrageous.

A pretty shocking report - Eric Holder’s Justice Department rocked by nepotism charges from The Washington Times. The rule of law is an unappreciated lynchpin to our system of governance and anything that undermines that undermines the whole system.

For a government department to have multiple reports of an issue over the better part of a decade and to not do anything about it, indeed, to let it get worse is appalling.

It’s not the first example of nepotism at Eric Holder’s Justice Department. A November investigation by the inspector general found that certain offices in the department had a “pervasive culture of nepotism and favoritism.” It’s at least the fifth inspector general report since 2004 to find hiring problems at the agency.

Not only did the Executive Director of the Interpol office hire his son.

The INTERPOL office’s Executive Director, Warren Lewis, also abused his position to help three people with connections to his son obtain jobs at the agency — even though he had never personally met two of them, investigators said.

“Lewis had no personal knowledge of their professional abilities,” the inspector general said. “After the three individuals all failed to make the certified lists of qualified applicants, Lewis took steps to overcome their exclusion.”

And just as in the UNC fake classes, fake grades for athletes case last year, they had to add insult to injury.

Ironically, Mr. Lewis is listed as the Justice Department’s Ethics Official for his office, according to department records.

That's not ironic. That's outrageous.
