I hear through my sources that the DoD OIG completed a Title V investigation (Reprisal Office) and issued a report of findings in support of the federal employee whistleblower. I have obtained a copy of this report from my sources in the DC area. I am wading through it as we speak. It would appear that Stanley Sims, DSS Director and Jay Freaude, DSS Counsel are purposefully refusing to acknowledge receipt of this report and responsibility to take constructive action to make the damaged employee whole, as directed by the DoD OIG.
Is this how it will work? Defense Security Service Director, Legal Department and Management will ignore investigative reports and pretend the investigation from DoD OIG simply does not exist and continue on their unethical and illegal path with impunity? There are some very angry federal employees and civilian citizens regarding this cavalier attitude toward justice. Not to mention questions about what appears to be DSS malfeasance in managing a federal agency and expenditure of taxpayer funds.
If Defense Security Service oversight cannot be ethical in its own in-house matters, how can they be trusted to be ethical in doing their oversight job of policing government defense contracting and contractor corporations?
Anybody have more information or perspective?

What I’ve gone through with my family member over the past decade is a nightmare I could not have conceived in my wildest imagination earlier in my life. He is still fighting his way through the screwed up system and trying to do a technically difficult job with continued interference from corrupted managers at the same time.
His employer still refuses to acknowledge the completed DOD OIG Title Five report upholding his complaints that he has suffered intense, continuing and in fact escalating retribution and reprisal from his agency management (DSS) and that they must make him whole after pretty much destroying his career. His crime? Conducting an investigation that documented extreme corruption within a large aerospace company defense contractor and subsequently within his agency bosses.
And he refused to commit fraud as directed by his bosses when they ordered him to change his report and remove all of the accurate data that would make it possible to prosecute the corporation and government who were committing crimes. The corrupt bosses ended up falsifying the report themselves rather than let the truth be known. And they began targeting my family member in retribution.
More corruption apparently connected to this throughout many more agencies and up into the Pentagon has been uncovered, as this thing has progressed. He and his coworker in this matter have even received death threats and a string of incriminated wrongdoers have been allowed to retire and move to contractor jobs (via revolving door as you’ve written about in the past) and escape prosecution.
I have kept my mouth shut about this until now. No more. I thank you for posting about this on your blog. I want to see these creeps brought to justice.

Thank you for reading my blog and for posting. You are welcome to comment or send in information any time. I can only imagine what you all have been going through and I suspect it is hard for most people to understand. I would like to help bring this into the light and see that the wrongdoers are prosecuted and your family member sees justice finally take place. GFS
…I don’t know Stanley Sims, but I can comment that Jay Freude, for all his alleged professionalism as a lawyer, doesn’t mind making snide remarks about former DSS employees to new DSS employees…Freude does seem to have enough smarts (for a lawyer, at least) not to mention these former DSS employees by their actual names, but their friends –who happen to be new DSS employees– have no doubt about to whom he is refering… then again, about all the DSS front office can do is to make snide remarks about other people…
Justice delayed is justice denied. This cadre of DSS management must finally bite the bullet and do something right for once in their careers for one so wronged. The public is a victim when there is misconduct in the DSS as well.
As a taxpayer and concerned citizen, may I take this opportunity to express my most sincere thanks for your steadfast integrity and service to this nation and the men & women in uniform. So, so sorry for all you and your family have been through when you were just trying to do the right thing. You will be held up with many, many prayers. God Bless.
