FBI Computer System Fiasco Flagged
By Government
September 7. 2010
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.

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.
