FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
The FBI's on-going computer system fiasco, which has cost American taxpayers roughly $1 billion dollars, yet produced no real results and bares distinct traces of financial fraud, has been flagged by the President's Office Of Management And Budget, as a troubled project that needs to be audited and reined in.
The computer system fiasco marks one of many failures associated with FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller's tenure at the corrupt law enforcement agency. The FBI is also busy working on another questionable computer project titled "Next Generation Identification (NGI)." The premise behind it is unconstitutional and constitutes blatant violations of Americans' civil rights.
The FBI aims to store detailed DNA and other identifying data on Americans, which will make you guilty until proven innocent in the court system, rather than the other way around. The price tag of NGI, you ask? $3.4 billion dollars. Yes, Congress is allowing the untrustworthy FBI, to play with that much of your tax dollars.
The FBI's parent agency is the Department of Justice and they also have their own computer fiasco in the works, LCMS, estimated to cost U.S. taxpayers $128 million dollars. Coupled with the FBI's computer flops, $4.5 billion dollars in hard earned taxpayer money is being wasted and misappropriated.
U.S. Attorney General, head of the DOJ, Eric Holder
And as the Judiciary Report's sister site, the Sound Off Column, warned in 2006, one cannot roll out a computer system over the course of years, as technology changes on a yearly basis. The FBI and DOJ, who according to site statistics, read both the Judiciary Report and the Sound Off Column, ignored the advice in 2006 and have been hit with nothing but trouble in the ensuing years, as a result.
The FBI's partial computer system that is running on empty, contains over 10,000 software bugs, which is positively ridiculous. That's a disgrace. Once again, America is one of the top computer nations in the world, home to world famous, Silicon Valley, yet federal law enforcement is wallowing in technological failure. The FBI and DOJ are an embarrassment.
The entire thing is a massive cash grab, with inflated budgets, where invoices for significant sums of taxpayer money, have been turned in with no name and the label "miscellaneous." I ask, those of you that work on jobs around the country that have petty cash funds or expense accounts, are you permitted to turn in no name receipts, month after month, for huge sums of money, labeled "miscellaneous" and not get fired or imprisoned for financial fraud? Yea, that's what I thought.
