Only in Government World....

 This story has two parts.  It demonstrates how taxpayers get ripped off every.  damn.  time.

Part One:

 Former acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe gave himself a senior leadership “performance” bonus around the holidays in December after previously serving as the second in command of the agency, leading up to the two assassination attempts against President Trump last year, according to multiple knowledgeable sources....

Because Rowe was the acting director at the time, he moved forward with giving himself a bonus and then continued to remain on the payroll listed as a “senior advisor” for nearly half of this year...

 

He was a "leadership figure" when the agency blew its coverage of Trump TWICE, once near-fatal in PA., then in FL.

 

And he gets a bonus.

 

Part Two:

 

 ... the first quarterly installment of promised retention bonuses for agents who agreed not to jump ship to another government law enforcement job or retire in the aftermath of the morale-sinking assassination attempts has been delayed for weeks. On Wednesday, USSS leaders once again reassured agents in an email that their promised retention bonuses are coming and would be paid by the end of August....

 

Seems to me that if the taxpayers really have to pay out those 'retention bonuses', the money should be found by clawing back Rowe's bonus--which he paid himself after his huge f**kups.

 

Prove me wrong.
