A former associate administrator at the U.S. General Services Administration had sex with a White House staffer in his government office and on the roof of the agency's northwest D.C. headquarters, an internal investigation reveals.

The investigation also revealed the official drank from a bottle of vodka in his office "after normal business hours."

The report details multiple violations of federal policies prohibiting or limiting alcohol consumption in federal offices, by high ranking officials of the GSA in 2017. The GSA is the independent federal agency which oversees federal office spaces and public buildings.  ...

According to the inspector general report, former associate GSA administrator Brennan Hart escorted a White House staffer into the agency's F Street headquarters on July 1, 2017. The report said Hart acknowledged he then poured drinks from the bottle of vodka he kept in his desk. According to the report, "He said their sexual activity began in the Administrator suite area and culminated with oral sex on the rooftop of the Central Office." The report said the official "stated this occurred on only one occasion."  ... The report redacted the name of the White House staffer involved.  ...

Next to the Department of State, The GSA is the most corrupt agency in Washington and nothing that occurs there would surprise me.

MacFarlane broke the story. Here's more from the Washington Examiner:

...  Hart stopped work with the GSA in March 2018, around the same time the report was sent to then-White House counsel Don McGahn.

Former acting GSA administrator Timothy Horne, who led the agency in 2017, told investigators that he also drank alcohol after work hours and “when no one else was around.” He reportedly acknowledged he violated federal rules by doing so.

The current administrator, Emily Murphy, told investigators in 2018 that she allowed immediate staff to consume alcohol in her office after business hours on Fridays, but that she was unaware of the government’s formal approval process allowing alcohol consumption.  ...

Sounds like one of those Peyton Places to me!

When I worked for a brief time at HEW a long time ago, the employees smoked pot and had sex in the stairwells. They took four hour lunches and hung up on the grantees they were supposed to be serving, just picked up a ringing phone and dropped in back in the cradle. My sense of self-worth made me quit.

That was forty years ago, I cannot imagine the shenanigans now.

Hopefully the "White House staffer" is also handing out resumes' as well.

That's pretty darn bad, even by "close enough for gubmint work" standards.
