ICE
Suzanne Barr, chief of the staff of Homeland Security's Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A top aide to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has stepped aside after department officials received new allegations that she made lewd and sexually charged comments to subordinates.
Suzanne Barr, the chief of the staff of Homeland Security's Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has "voluntary placed herself on leave" pending the outcome of a review by Homeland Security's Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility, department spokesman Brian Hale said in a statement.
The move comes a day after lawyers for James Hayes, the director of the ICE office in New York, sent government lawyers sworn affidavits from two ICE officials describing allegedly improper conduct by Barr.
The affidavits were intended to back up claims Hayes has made in an explosive lawsuit accusing Napolitano and Homeland Security of gender discrimination for ousting him from a top job in Washington and retaliating when he filed a complaint. The affidavits alleged that Barr created a "frat-house type atmosphere" at ICE "that is targeted to humiliate and intimidate male employees."
In one of the affidavits, which was obtained by NBC News, an ICE official identified as a former assistant attache in Colombia, describes a party at the house of the deputy chief of mission in Bogota during which Barr offered to perform a sexual act on him. In another affidavit, an ICE official describes being present at a meeting in Barr's office in which she made sexually lewd comments about another ICE employee. (The names of the ICE officials who signed the affidavits are blacked out in the versions supplied to NBC News.)
Hale, the ICE spokesman, last week called Hayes' lawsuit "unfounded." In Wednesday's statement, Hale said about the affidavits, "These allegations are being made in connection with ongoing litigation. ICE will respond directly and strongly to this lawsuit in court as is appropriate."

Sounds like they are having a good ole time up there in Washington. I guess when you have unlimited amounts of money and no accountability wild things are going to happen.
I beat there is much more to this story then revealed in this article. I would stay tuned for more on this.
What took you so long A-Mess-NBC? This story has been out for over 3 days. Did you choose to bury it because it may be yet another chink in armor of the bloated, inept cabinet department that your beloved President is responsible for?
Wait - SHE offered to perform a sex act on HIM, and he ratted her out? He must have a pretty sweet deal at home, if you know what I mean.
If some woman suggests that she is going to perform a sexual act on me, I would say thank you. I would not sue her.
Got that right Texas. Janet Napolitano always looked befuddled to me or like a deer in the headlights.
Angry Guy and logical, don't use your penis for a brain. She may be planning on spinning a sexual harrassment rap on you.
Just like the rest of this administration.
NO ADULT SUPERVISION!
Typical behavior in this administration.
Heck, most of Mr. Emanuel's speeches had to be "edited" because of his foul language.
Then there is the V.P. with his "quips" and "gaffes" during every speech.
Of course, Mr. Obama wouldn't be at home without his teleprompter and his "prepared speeches" which were probably drafted by the East Wing of the White House or by Valerie Jarrett. I think we know who wears the "pants" in the White House.
As for Mrs. Napolitano......Yep, "those borders have never been more secure" as another 1,000 illegals cross the fence each night....meanwhile "reverse" sex discrimination is apparently well and alive within the DHS.
It is election season. Wouldn't be the first time unfounded allegations have been made to score points.
Maybe she offered to have Janet perform the sex act! Och!
She offered to sit on his face.
This is like the Olympics, unimportant!
I don't know about letting her sit on my face, but she'd be good for a hummer any old time. LOL.
Clinton did it and got away with it....lol
Very true, Monica was getting rug burns from the White House carpet.
Is there any department under this administration which is not out of control?
Of course this woman is guilty, as we've been taught by our liberal colleagues during the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings; “It’s the seriousness of the charge” that matters, not the truth.
Janet Naponalito was chosen because she would be grateful to Obama for the job and back him. He had no intention of letting her make any border decisions.
I want to know what they were all doing at a party in Bogota, Columbia and how much did that little trist cost and who paid for it. If Harry Reid would pass a budget these people would have to live within there would not be constant partytime.
Well, what did you expect, Secret Service quality??? lmao at whatever is in this administration.
Barr looks looks like a man herself. I guess power is equally harmful in the hands of either gender on an ego trip.
When Gods laws are not adhered to there is no moral compass and so goes the deterioration of the American society. Sodom and Gomorrah, The Roman empire, etc.
Obamas administration could not run a hot dog stand, let alone a government agency, that has been proved. its like liberals gone WILD, whats next? I want the video.
Another example of reverse sexual harrasment by liberals. Just like reverse racism. Liberals are the biggest hipocrate human species on the planet.
I wish MY boss would talk dirty to me.
This dude is either really happily married or a tinker bell. Damn i hope he's just happily married. He could have just said no but thanks anyway. He didn't have to be a stinking snitch about it.
Uh, no. That kind of behavior is completely inappropriate, especially from our public officials, and should be reported.
CoCo,
You asked why they were having a party in Bogata, Columbia. Have you forgotten about the nsecret service party that went on when Hussein Obama went down for the big summit. I imagine they were there for months to plan that.
Hey what is good for the Goose is good for the Gander. These are women gone wild and if you don't like it they transfer you to another position or fire you. The good ole girl net work is not going to well it seems. Can you say collapse and fail in another agency in Washington.
Gee this is not Chicago what wrong with these civil servants??
James Hayes got passed over on a Promotiom by Suzy Barr to head ICE. AFTER he got passed over he all of a sudden has 2 sexual harressment allogation against Suzy Barr. Hey James, get over your Macho Ego and Man Up. She is probably the better choice. How many screwups have you done that won't admit to. You know James, with me it's like this, If you loose that case and I was the one over you and Suzy. your but would be in the Soup Line. On the other hand, if you proove correct, your safe. You stay where you are because if I didn't want you in that particular office the first time. I really wouldn't want you there on the second round picks.
Pretty sure she said "I want to feel your cock in the back of my throat!" as msn is slow is reporting this story.
Looks like we have finally achieved job equality!
DHS is the biggest waste of money this country has ever dreamed up. Not only are they responsible for wasting Trillions of dollars, but for violating the Constitutional rights of US citizens.
If I would have told you in 1980 that one day there will be a country that will install hundreds of thousands of surveillance cameras all over the country and track the movements of its citizens, pass laws that allow the government to hold its citizens indefinitely without access to legal council or other due process rights, pass laws that allow the government to target its citizens for execution with no charges or trial, fly unmanned aircraft across the country tracking who knows what....
You would have said, "well that's the kind of thing that happens in Russia". Only it's not happening in Russia - it's happening right here in the US.
In the end Bin Laden might get what he was looking for after all - to bring us down from within.
Thanks DHS you're doing a great job - NOT!!!!
Julkie,
Unfounded allegations? Like Romney not paying taxes for the last decade? Such as Romney being responsible for the death of a wife of a steelworker here in Kansas City 5 years after the steel plant closed and, oh, wait, she was not on her husband's health insurance but on her own? Like that?
My favorite lie is that Obama is qualified to be president. Even now, after almost 4 years, he is STILL NOT qualified to be president.
Yep, it is the political season. How wonderful it would be to have both sides just sticking to the facts and stop the attacks unless actually warranted.
I'll wait until more facts are disclosed before forming my opinion. If she's guilty, then she should be punished (just like a man would be punished if the roles were reversed). If she's not guilty, he should be punished for false claims.
Wow what a dilemma, a blow job or a million dollar sexual harassment law suit?
My question is, is she being paid for this leave?
Well, have to expect the barbarians to have their say. . . but I would hope that a sexual harassment allegation is treated with the same seriousness, and subject to the same proper examination of the facts, regardless of the gender of the parties. I would assume leave is paid for some period of time while facts are being determined.
SR MsMahon,
You know the word assume breaks down to spell ass u me
The Obama Administration is running a culture or corruption. Sexual harassment in DHS, his AG helped smuggle guns to the Mexican Cartels and his covering up the crime with the help of Obama! Poverty is higher than ever. The EPA is destroying the US power grid. Dang. Is Osama bin Laden in the White House?
@ Jamie
After looking at your past and present posts, you seem to want to blame everything on Obama. You should try to read the articles you post on rather then post some arbitrary comment linking it to Obama.
All the facts that he has stated in this post are all true. I don't see the reason for you scorning his post. There have been way more scandals in this administration's first 4 years than there were in the previous one. You can't deny that.
@ Juan
Yes I can deny it. My guess is you base you scandals comment on watching Fox news.
Have a great day !
As this is a very serious charge perhaps Napalitano should place herself on administrative leave as well. It makes a mockery of what women have achieved over the past few decades when those at the top act so irresponsibly.
Actually, it's easily denied. Mostly because it's not true. President Bush started off his presidency with the largest scandal of American history. His incompetence and refusal to heed warnings led to the deaths of thousands of Americans. From there is was all down hill. He lied to get us into two wars, costing even more lives. Blunder after blunder defined the entire Bush presidency.
Why should she? These are the alleged actions (no jury has said "guilty" yet) of a person underneath her. She has nothing to do with it.
Hey Roger, just out of curiosity who do you think appointed Napolitano to the head of the DHS? I figured with such a high-profile position Obama would choose someone with scruples in hiring and ethics would be in order, no?
I know, that is where I go wrong, assuming this President actually knows what he is doing.
@ TexasT
That is a rather subjective statement don't you think ?
Assuming anyone knows what their doing is generally a bad idea, especially if it is Mitt Romney.
Jamie Alvarez,
Turn off Limbaugh, turn off Faux News, do your own research.
You were probably a free thinking American at one point in your life, right?
Try it again, being a free thinking American is not bad at all.
Believe it or not, if you rely only on Limbaugh, Faux, or the many other sorry excuses for news outlets for your news, your not getting news at all.
You are only listening to the scripted Kock Brothers, tea bagger, et el, anti-American propaganda program.
Your comment above casts you as an uninformed individual who has no clue as to what is going on around you politically and more importantly no clue as to American political history and facts.
Stop allowing yourself to be spoon fed what to see, think, feel and believe politically.
Think free - Live free!
Accordoing to Napolitano, it is all a result of liquor left in desks by the Bush people.
Virginia Democrat...
Because discrimination and retaliation are very serious charges. Because, for several decades we women have been demanding equality in the workplace. I suppose if she stands her post we can believe that discrimination and retaliation are to be accepted and women should be required to continue to work in a hostile environment while business gets sorted. If she doesn't stand down and Holder doesn't give due consideration to this case of aledged discrimination and retaliation then it will be the beginning of the break down of equal right in lieu of special rights.
from the article...
Now as for the skank that couldn't get permission for sex acts, yes our government hard at work,....She seriously looks like a shemale . Can you blame a guy or however many guys for turning down the offer. I would imagine she was working on the odds of some sort of average that someone would allow her to touch them. The only way it could have been a worse proposition is if she were looking for a three way that included Napalitano...
Richard that is probably it....liquor was probably the proposition. So do you suppose she also offered them a blindfold or that she would put a bag on her head?
It's all Bushes fault.
Wow, txmom, way to set us back in the equality struggle. "She has to sexually harrass her employees because she's ugly"......classy.
Richard-2714364....."Accordoing to Napolitano, it is all a result of liquor left in desks by the Bush people."
Nah, it was liquor left over by Ex-Speaker of the House, Pelosi, which was obtained after cleaning out her "private Federal jet".
Just think what will be found in the White House closets when Mr. Obama is voted out of office after only One Term. Oh, that is where all the Republican legislation was hidden by Mr. "Party of 1 NO" Reid.
Roger Z.
Or maybe just blame everything on President Bush? Sound familiar?
Nope...Osama Bin Ladin is dead...remember? You're going to have to find another clever response because that one just doesn't work anyymore.
Or are you trying to claim that Bin Ladin isn't really dead and it was all just a big hoax?
@ Tracey
Your point is well taken Tracey, truly I understand. In my own defense, I have not spoken of Bush, nor will I.
Thanks for your comment, have a great day.
Richard-2714364, According to the other Obama people the Bush people didn't leave any desks or toilet paper!
Thats because, like when I was in the Army, Government civilians and military alike, not all but most, DO NOT respect the office of the presidency under Obama.
The military said the same thing regarding Clinton.........! Look at the respect Bill enjoys today!
Give it a rest Jamie.
Actually Lady Coast Guard Clinton is not really respected by most intelligent people. Obama lets Bubba do what he wants because he needs him to keep the faithful Dems in the fold because they would desert him.
Tracey-664791
Know your facts before you speak. 'Mr. Obama, You did not kill that man, The Seals Killed that man!' And then he and his cronies RATTED them out and many of them wound up DEAD.
If you would like the FACTS on that I would be more then happy to give them to you.
So Obama can blame Bush for everything from the first day of his office and that is acceptable to you?
So it looks as thou she got the urge, well you cant express your personal urges when you are on the clock, seems as though the Obama administration is in keeping with the Clintons administration only difference is Obama is not on the receiving end or is he? Are all Democrats so sexually dependent? to bad it wasn't a gay/lesbian encounter Obama could have manipulated that and guaranteed the LGBTP vote.
There is more action going on with EEO compliants than ANY other kind of work in the federal government. There is more he said, she said, and vice versa, going on since federal wages and promotions were frozen because it is the easiest way to get ahead. The federal government encourages the compliants. A Commander fixing to retire is as easy target, they can not retire if there are any EEO complaints against them. So, in order to retire the commander, the government settles, which spurs more compliants. It is not the government, it is the people "gaming" the system.
Roger-
Just get on you knees and go over and blow Obama. You seem to be gagging for it.
admitting it is the first step. From reading your posts you are a Fanboy of Obama's.......
My Bironas..
Exactly how have I set "us" back by suggesting that her subordinates don't wish to her her man hands allover them as a condition of employment or promotion? At no point in my life have I every felt compelled to sexually harass anyone. I knew long before I ever worked that you don't @!$%# where you eat. This shemale probably hand no choice as she was starving.
Ladies, welcome to the responsibilities of equality, harassment is just as guilty in any direction, and you are going to pay for it in court.
She could offer to pay me for letting her go down, I'd still say no.
Woof.
They are more dangerous because they are just getting started.
As I said this is not Chicago. Whats wrong with Washington? Trashy !!
The problem I have here is why wait til he got passed over. He and his two buddies, IF found were Lying and I was in charge, I would have to let all 3 go.
Not buying it. Worked with thousands of women over the years...not one created a "frat house" environment to intimidate male workers. Seen it the other way around...but this guy is looking for money. Nothing else.
"There are two edges to the sword". I certainly have worked with several females who made many blush, including any males in the area. Workplace Harassment goes both ways with either gender, up and down the chain. Regardless of creating a "Frat House" or not, it only takes a few words. If the investigation proves sexual harassment, she might as well retire.
NOT necessarily uno, >>> as it JUST depends who'zzzz she is/wuz sukkkking uno, = RELEVANCY!!!
Hekk, ... SHE might even get PRO-moted 2. >>> mebbe to a 4 starrr General orrrr a Admiral!!!
God. Creatures like you do exist, denko...who knew.
I am not saying that I have never seen a woman who made someone blush. I am saying I never saw a single one try to intimidate a man sexually.
Buffaloes Roam maybe you should look in the mirror and use deodorant once in a while! Woman like sex too and they can be very raunchy! I say your a little envious.
So just because you've never seen it, it never happens? That's a pretty arrogant statement. And wow, you've worked with thousands of women, out of the 3.5 billion. Are you like Santa Clause, do you see me when I'm sleeping? Do you check your list twice? Sorry to burst your bubble, but harassment goes both ways.
You never worked in the Obama administration. hell, you probably have never worked at all with that ignorant comment.
AHHHH, since its a male,he's only looking for money! Males can only do wrong and never be wronged! What a bunch of sexist crap!
Verno,Verno,Verno............Don't attack other opinions in a personal way. Just because Obama and buffalo do it. We have to stay above ignorant statements!!!!!
One of the biggest shocks I had when I became a bartender was not the men cheating on their wives, but of all the married women cheating on their husbands. I knew some of them from scouts and little league. Yep, so called pillars of the community. This type of behavior does go on everywhere and women are just as guilty as men.
It will be interesting in the next few months to see what unfolds (or will we ever know as the media tends to not follow up on these types of stories). Another smoke screen to make our mind stray and take it off all the other stuff going on in Washington perhaps?
what you're missing here is that it's a frat-house atmosphere of lesbians, not just a bunch of hetero women... the lesbians (like Napolitano) are trying to intimidate the men. It's a power thing. You know, much like spray-painting 'tastes like hate' on the side of a Chick Fil A.
Buffaloes Roam:
Would you please enlighten us all with the Real True Facts. From you response, I can only come to the conclusion that you know more then any of us.
When do you think you will be subpoena to give your EYE WITNESS Account?
I was over forty years in business. I saw women flirt. I saw them have affairs. I saw them crack raunchy jokes. I even jumped into a few pools with them. That said, I will say it again, since it seems to amuse you. I never saw a woman try to sexually intimidate a man. I never saw one say "come across, or you won't get a promotion". Never saw a woman threaten violence against a man in a sexual manner. Never saw a woman treat a man like an object (although they ripped some men to shreds). In your fevered imaginations, maybe that happens all the time. I never saw it. I am not even sure how that would work.
Buffaloes Roam
And you have never been in the Military either have you.
@Buffaloes, Havent worked for 40 years with women. Can't equate the time, have had to fire female employees for sexual harrassment. Have also had to fire employees who felt their work, and paid break time was back room bang time.
The quality of female employees 40 years ago were probably the same and you were just not aware of the office sexual politics. It seems to me that the women were more free spirited 60s and early 70s of free love, peace and anti-Nam protesting at that time. A time where the women through away the bra's.
There are old sayings, The office Whore sleeps with everyone, The office Bi#$h sleeps with everyone but you. Those sayings started somewhere. While Male to Female harrassment dominates most cases, If you take a few moments to google, or research, you will see quite a shock from Female to Male harassment, and Same Sex Harassment. Harassment is an equal oportunity LOSER Situation.
@Jeepers peepers, I guess that you live in one of those small town/good size towns where almost nobody leaves? Although this happens where you work, what goes on there is customers. Let's have a few and have a good time. It's not the same work enviroment for the people in the article.
I fired one female employee for sexual harrassment. She kept calling a guy she had dated. Multiple times per day. She was not trying to intimidate him. For chrissake...the article says intimidate and that is what I am saying. She did not try to frighten him into a certain behaviour.
Wow it only took MSNBC three days.
We've known about this since Monday, the allegations and law suit being filed against DHS. This is why we watch Fox news so we can see what MSNBC will finally report after , two, three, five days, a month later, or not at all.
So David, if you love Fox so damn much....go back and watch it and stay the hell away from here, if you don't like the delays. See how easy that is??
@ Verno
Great Post. Well said.
David - I too watch Fox, as well as CNN and MSNBC - the delays are expected when it comes to reporting anything negative on a liberal progressive democrat - sometimes the reporters don't even claim to know about a national news event... But, you are right!
David MSNBC probably needed permission from the DNC to run the story.
They have to delay. If they could get around not reporting it at all they would. However, knowing the story is going to break anyway MSNBC tries to get out front and cover for the administration. They skew the facts, drop the core of the article and water down the story to make it seem irrelevant.
It is no secret that MSNBC, ABC and CNN are in the bag for obama. Its as if they are part of the White House Press Staff.
Great call David--This has been in the news for days and not just on Fox. It is amazing the lengths the Obama media will go to hide things. Only when it becomes old news do they decided to report on it.
Unlike Fox, MSNBC actually looked into the allegations first.
MSDNC tried to hold it until Friday but they couldn't.
@proudamericanveteran; documentation, please?
"Everybody knows" and "It's no secret that" do not qualify as documentation.
Centurion--It looks like Fox just reported about the law suit filed against "The Administration". How much "looking into the allegations" does NBC need to do? A law suit was filed and it appears that Fox reported on the details of the law suit which is public information. NBC news just decides to hide information from the already uninformed.
It cracks me up how you guys spout how great FOX news is....I have no doubt that MSNBC and CNN are more liberal...but FOX is waaaaay to the right....therefore, NONE of these guys give "fair and balanced news"... so none is better than the other.... you guys just like FOX better because you also are waaaaaay to the right.
Take away all your fun? Who would you have to call "Racist", "Homophobes", "Tin Hat Wearing", "Troglodytes", "Right wing nitwits", "Neanderthals", "Religious Zealots", "Extremists", "Idiots", "Uneducated", "Intellectually Dishonest", etc., if we don't come in here and simply present viewpoints you don't like?
Tx we watch fox news because we want to hear both sides of an issue not just the "Lefts". Some people would call that an "Informed Voter", or a 'Moderate, or "Independent".
Here I am listening to your side of the argument.
Maybe if the Left didn't call every that doesn't agree with them derogatory terms they would be more open to hearing what you have to say?
Everybody knows Napolitano has paid no taxes for 10 years. Got that straight from Reid.
David, please tell me WHEN Faux Noise has EVER presented more that ONE viewpoint other than one that it either racist, sexist, mysogynistic, uninformed, or promulgated by a tinfoil hat wearing religious zealot who believes in a 6000 year old flat earth.
verno and Roger can't take the negativity going toward the Obama administration. The truth hurts doesn't it/
Whoa Nelly David... since when did faux snooze ever present issues in a fair and balanced way? By now even Faux' own anchors disagree with you. At some point you are allowed to turn the channel.
Why is it so many right winged shills lack the common sense not to read MSNBC, decide they feel its leftist, yet still get an account, read threads and post whining its leftist. I never go to right winged media outlets, let alone bother to get an account then like a complete idiot, complain.
Righties remind me of the spoiled milk skit from SNL. Once you learn the milk is spoiled, why take another sip and then offer it to others for confirmation?
lemur lady...my guess is you never watch Fox, just repeat what you've been told to say. I too watch several sources and can give you a very good example. When the professor was arrested by the cop which led to the famous beer summit, I watched an edited version of the tape that "captured what happened" on MSNBC and thought the Professor might have a case. I then turned to Fox and got the hear the complete tape, unedited, and realized that I had almost been duped.
It's funny how I keep hearing the term "Faux News" whenever something is reported that liberals don't want you to know. If false news was being presented, the FCC would certainly crack down and pull their license. Perhaps some of you have trouble understanding news programs from opionion programs. But that is understandable if all you ever watch is MSNBC.
That is so funny Kevin i was thinking along those lines. Poor whiny righties.
One day, all of you "blamers" may just realize that watching ANY alleged "news" channel has turned you into VIDIOTS.
Kill the TV and Radio and start reading from many sources. Don't be lazy! Start to think for yourselves.
roger- get on your knees and give Verno a blow job while you are at it.
MSNBC is Very slow to report anything negative about their boy.
It is a free country and David's post has a good question- what did take MSNBC 3 extra days from the other networks to run this story?
sometimes the truth hurts...... Obama truly sucks at trying to be a president........he should go back to Chicago and do community organizing some more....
I don't believe it for a second. She clearly does not like men. Oh wait, that picture is an old stock photo of Chastity Bono... isn't it?
Sheat runs downhill - if this is what you have at the top, is there any wonder that the TSA is a bunch of child and woman molesters?
When
I was young, good looking and married for less than a year in the late 80's, I
had several female bosses to grope me. I was trapped in the mailroom once and
proposition on one job. I was trapped in my cube three times on another job. I
never filed a complaint and I wasn't insulted or felt violated. All the women
were good looking and from different races. Some were married and/or had
boyfriends. I’m sure there is more to
the story…
It's not about being groped idiot, it's about being passed over several times by the "feminazi's" in charge at the DHS.
Yes, it does happen and some women think all man appreciate the attention.
They are wrong. Any coercion by superiors against subordinates is wrong.
Richard.....you are right on.....I, for one, was NEVER afraid to simply say no......and, for standing firm, I've received about $60,000 - even recently.
ALL from the idiots who sexually harassed me...! (I never thought I'd have to make my living doing this.....!)
LadyCoastGuard said for "standing firm" she received 60k............. obvious pun. I am standing firm thinking about the jokes possible with those two words. Huh Huh huh huh (my best Beavis laugh)
If you read the whole story, the men were passed up for promotions because neapolitano likes her lesbian friends more
Then why do they go to lunch at Chic-fil-A?
LGBTs at their finest! LMAO! [:-)]
A woman is accused of sexually harassing a man...where exactly is the LGBT connection? Oh right, if you don't find a woman attractive, she must be a lesbian.
He might be implying, a woman can really only harrass gay men.
LGBT connection is this.....imagine her in a flannel shirt. Just like Larry The Cable Guy.
she looks like she could use a good stiff one up her pizz-A-O
What's new with this pathetic administration. It's one scandal after another, one "gaffe" after another and one trillion dollars after another wasted.
You've just described every administration since WWII, and some might say since the beginning of this country.
First things first....send her through a metal detector, full body scan for explosives, and full body pat down before things get out of control.
I didn't realize that the guys at ICE were a bunch of girls, man up guys.
Are you sure they are girls?
Dude must have been on his period and did not want his mangina touched. Hard to believe no one thinks the timing of this accusation is just a little dubious.
Nothing new here folks just bureaucrats doing what they do best and that is feed off the trough of government money with no oversight and little responsibility. Try doing this in the private sector and your out of a job so fast.
William, the private sector did plenty of feeding from the trough of everyone's 401k, savings, and home values when they crashed the market. No one has been punished for any of that, and they were arrogant enough to ask the government for a bailout, while they accused anyone of needing help of being on the government tit while they took all the corporate welfare they could.
Lemur lady,
Your facts need a little checking. Try reading about Frank, and Dodd and see how they screwed up the banking regulations and ignored the toxic mortgage melt down back when action on their part could have saved us from the current situation. If you can't read try watching public comments made during the day...it is enough to make you sick. Remember the banks and insurance companies were to big to fail but not to big to steal from the American tax payer. Remember all the big payouts to the executives compliments of President Obama? Selective memory? Too much truth for your progressive agenda? The government gave the banks and insurance industry the green light to steal compliments of Frank and Dodd. Then legislation was passed requiring banks to lend to unqualified lenders...I remember the flood of sub-prime offers arriving in the mail everyday...I tossed them all. The legislation was a gift from the Democrats to the unqualified borrowers and look where it took us. Nice huh?
Where were you when Mitt
needed a running mate.
Heey, ... cud'ja hold-up the corner of thaa carpet,... fer a few hours, ... SOS we kin get ALL'A thizz DIRT, swepp under it.
This guy is a puss!
Wait...I didn't think Janet N. said anything... It was S. barr that was acting like an animal....Idk...Will do some more research on this...
Janet N. Was stepping down/aside cause her dept is getting sued.......
Wow..I think I may step down from the out and out LIES I am being fed.... Watching the news is bad for me....BLEH
She offers to perform on him and he runs and tells? I would have flopped it out and let her have at it!
Thnking with your dick! Typical of the liberals these days!
Yes Tony he must be liberal he likes people of the opposite sex.
This story doesn't hold water.
Tony its too bad you are unable to think with your dick since he left office in 08........ouch!! Bet you are hoping the rich guy and the russian athiest love child takes charge of your thoughts soon.
Cappy............I'm sure you would. Man. woman, child????/
Not a liberal or conservative. Just a guy who likes a BJ every now and then! LIGHTEN UP, PEOPLE!! They are just jokes!
Forget politics. Most men would be grateful.
I repeat: The guy is a puss!
Skipper,
If brains were taxed you would get a rebate.
No this guy has no desire to be with a SLUT !!!
TC no guy but you wants to be with your wife........ again.
Hayes files a gender discrimination suit because he was ousted from a top job. That's going to be a tough one to prove ("All us men are discriminated against"). Meanwhile his suit has probably ruined Suzanne Barr's career, or at the very least any prospects for promotion.
And all you goofs can do with that is rail against Obama. Ponder a moment your own future(s) if someone filed an unjustified sexual harrassment suit against you. But it's politics so, hey, character assassination is justified, as long as it gives you a stick to beat your political opposite with.
Umm Alan? There are more than one person corroborating the events as described in the lawsuit via affadavits. Now what? Are they all lying and this is one giant conspiracy to get some inexperienced Napolitano crony out of the department?
Yeah, I don't think that one is flying for me.
Her career of coercion needs to be disrupted. Definitely a two bagger - not enough bourbon in Tennessee.
@TexasT; "The affidavits alleged that Barr created a "frat-house type atmosphere" at ICE "that is targeted to humiliate and intimidate male employees."
That one doesn't fly with me. Sounds more like a synopsis for a bad R-rated comedy. I do feel, however, for all those poor humiliated and especially the intimidated male employees. C'mon now.
The affadavits relate to Barr's supposed sexual habits. They do not address what Hayes claims is gender discrimination, and I fail to see how they corroborate his case. Suzanne Hayes is sexually active, therefore I lost my position (pun not intended). I really think Hayes's lawyers are going to have a tough time proving his case.
Alan Dean Foster.......my thoughts - exactly!
Alan, Unjustified? I think your answer will change soon and yes its time to rag on Obama when we are FINALLY seeing what type of administration he has. Leadership at its worst.
She may very well deserve to have her career destoyed. Harrasment is not about sex, it's about power and right now women have more power, especially in this agency. Unemployment has hit men particularly hard and with the push to hire women and minorities, there is no sense of "fairness" that the left has supposedly wanted all these years. They just wanted the power handed to them, not a fair chance.
TC....... I haven't seen any leadership from Obama but his dog has shown some leadership.
Brenda........ I support your statement!!!!!!!
Huba Huba what's good for the Goose.....Gets shoved up the Gander!
Big Sister Janet will just "Disappear" them all into Indefinite Detention for an all expense paid Vacation to Guantanamo Bay as a matter of National Security!
Come on "Guys" you'd better "Spill the Frijoles" about what's been happening at DHS quick before your Chorizo gets fried!
You of all People know......Big Sis watches US all and this is just the "Beginning"!
This was Napolitano's hand picked flunky that she appointed over a more experienced and deserving employee. Now...scandal, nothing new for the Obama Administration, in fact it is the norm it seems. These are the leaders, the examples, that the people in full charge of our country's security are suppose to look for leadership from. This is also the "department" that says illegal immigration is under control and there are no problems at the border. And Napolitano answers to who-yeah that's what I thought. My opinion. This goes beyond (along with Holder) corruption. This is conspiracy. But that is ok we have plenty of home brew. And they do inhale.
There will need to be some "probing" questions asked so that we all can get to the "bottom" of the allegations. We sure wouldn't want anyone to get the "shaft". Nor would it be a good thing for anyone to find themselves in a "box" they couldn't find their way out of.
She was just doing her job, she wanted to see if he had a big "joint"!
