The offices of Schulman & Mathias, which represents the high profile former investigator at the State Department's Office of the Inspector General, Aurelia Fedenisn, was broken into last weekend.
Fedenisn captured headlines after exposing wrongdoings on the part of the State Department and its contractors ranging from illicit drug use, soliciting sexual favors from minors and prostitutes
and sexual harassment.She also exposed that investigations were " "influenced, manipulated, or simply called off several investigations into misconduct," within State Department ranks.
The offices of a Dallas law firm representing a high-profile State Department whistleblower were broken into last weekend. Burglars stole three computers and broke into the firm's file cabinets. But silver bars, video equipment and other valuables were left untouched, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW, which aired security camera footage of the suspected burglars entering and leaving the offices around the time of the incident.
State Department spokeswoman denies any involvement in the incident. "Any allegation that the Department of State authorized someone to break into Mr. Schulman's law firm is false and baseless," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
Jim Treacher over at DC Crawler definitely earns quote of the day with his response to Psaki's denials:
And there you have it. If Psaki denies it, that’s the end of it. Everybody knows that the word of a State Department spokesperson is as good as pyrite.
Also, John Kerry absolutely wasn’t on his yacht as Egypt exploded into chaos last week, and it doesn’t matter that he was on his yacht because he can work from there. Oh, and the Benghazi attack was caused by a YouTube video, which had nothing to do with it and they never said it did, and it’s okay that they said it did, because it was the best information they had at the time, even though everybody knows that’s not true.
Got it? Now shut up.
Last month, her lawyers told The Cable that the department tried to intimidate her into silence. "They had law enforcement officers camp out in front of her house, harass her children and attempt to incriminate herself," claimed Schulman.
Quite the coincidence that the law office was broken into, yet expensive items were left untouched while computers and files were stolen, meaning someone was after information, not financial gain.
