Veterans Affairs Secretary Tried to Discredit Aide’s Sex-Assault Claim
By Rachel Olding/Breaking News Editor/The Daily Beast
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert Wilkie tried to dig up damaging information on a congressional aide who reported a sexual assault, according to ProPublica.
Andrea Goldstein, a Navy Reserve intelligence officer and senior policy adviser for a House committee on female veterans, told The New York Times last year she was accosted by a man in a VA medical center cafeteria, who pressed against her and said, “You look like you could use a good time.”
She notified the department, which started an investigation. However, Wilkie then initiated his own investigation into Goldstein’s credibility, according to an anonymous complaint obtained by ProPublica. He repeatedly shared information he’d gathered on Goldstein with his staff and suggested using it to discredit her.
When federal prosecutors declined to bring charges, he called the assault allegation “unsubstantiated,” even though an independent investigation found it was not.

Donald Adolph Hitler has been President now for almost 4 years. He has read all the secret government reports that Israel did 9/11/01 aided by outlaws Bush, Cheney and some four star generals, the main purpose of which was to instill fear in the population to induce them to surrender their basic Constitutional Rights, that the Sandy Hook Shooting was a staged hoax to fool people into gun control as are most of these fake school shooting events. He knows that the corrupt U.S. Supreme Court, not the electorate, elected the lying cheater George Bush president with an outrageous fraudulent ruling on the Florida ballot count dispute. George Bush was a worthless coward traitor just like Donald Adolph is. He knows the Boston Bombing was totally fake. He knows all the criminal mistreatment of Palestinians by Mafia thugs in Israel and more. Yet he remains deafeningly silent about all these massive crimes against the U.S. Citizens and the World. What would be an appropriate description, without using obscenities, of our totally worthless piece of human garbage from New York President? Oh, and after all these years he suddenly decides to convert to the religion of Israel which uses Mafia tactics to kill innocent people to have it way in the world.
The government and Israel crimes of 9/11/01 led to the corrupt Congress passing the totally illegal and unconstitutional Patriot Act, the name of which is a blatant lie, which gang rapes the 4th and 5th Amendment rights of all Americans at airports thousands of times a day with impunity and no punishment for the government outlaws carrying out these crimes against all Americans. Also air passengers are being forcibly exposed to unknown amounts of dangerous cancer causing radiation without any disclosure or proper consent. Even the smallest amount of radiation has a non zero probability of initiating cancer. Watch the video of former Marine Ken O’keefe at LAX in 2016. Our government and country are shameful disgraces today to themselves and to the world.
Thank you for this helpful article.
It is unimaginable that someone running for re-election as President would do nothing to correct this injustice.
