Just the Man for the Work Pension Bureau probe taints Republican favors
The Pension Bureau under Commissioner Dudley is accused of massive corruption aiding the Republican campaign. Congressional investigators cite expenses rising from 500000 to about 3 million in the election year, with the Special Examiners division allegedly diverting funds.
