Fentanyl lollipops, falsified fed contracts and holidays

[butters]

in a series of new allegations brought to Congress, the spotlight falls firmly on Dr. Alexander Eastman — the acting chief medical officer for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.

• - Manipulating agency rules so he could bring fentanyl lollipops with him on a helicopter flown by a friend during the UN General Assembly’s meeting in New York
• 
  
• - Billing the government for travel and hotel stays unrelated to his official duties
• 
  
• - Falsifying bid documents to allow himself to hire consultants to work in his office
• 
  
• The allegations against Eastman were forwarded to Congress Friday by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Project on behalf of a group of current and former CBP employees and contractors.

fentanyl lollipops? wtf! oh, it's fine, he said he needed the strong narcotics with him in case an employee was in need of their painkilling power. yeah.

In 2019, DHS officials gave Eastman an award for his work overseeing medical screening along the southern U.S. border — apparently while on loan from his regular duties.

During that period there were numerous problems in health and screening along the border — when at least five children died in CBP custody or after being taken to the hospital.

It was also the time period during which the Government Accountability Office found the border patrol had misdirected money meant for medical care and food to instead purchase dirt bikes, boats and ATVs.

if you've time, read the entire article: his name links with numerous instances of fraud over the years relating to companies he worked for then suddenly 'left', plus numerous problems with his work in 2019 at the border when children died.
