DailyCaller: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) executive Thomas Burch, who ran a sketchy charity that provided him with lavish trips, will nevertheless retire with full benefits.
Burch, a lawyer for the VA, is set to retire on Nov. 30 with full benefits, despite investigations by the VA and New York Attorney General’s office finding that he used his veterans’ charity for personal gain, CNN reports.
CNN first exposed Burch’s involvement with the National Vietnam Veterans Foundation in May. Prior to that point, the VA claimed no knowledge of Burch’s activities.
As part of his work with the National Vietnam Veterans Foundation, Burch raised more than $29 million in four years.
The reason the charity has attracted so much negative attention is because only 2 percent of donations actually went to veterans.
Just because this fool will get full retirement does not mean he is off the hook. The entire VA needs to be flushed repeatedly until all the sheets are gone.
Well qualified for a position with the Clinton Family Foundation.
I’m guessing he planned on going to work for the Clinton Administration. I’m sure they could have tapped the VA’s funds for a signing bonus !
