Senate Committee Report: Waste & Mismanagement at the Department of Justice

Justice Denied: Waste & Mismanagement at the Department of Justice, United States Senate, 110th Congress, Office of Senator Tom Coburn, M.D., Ranking Member Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services, and International Security, October 2008

  • “As the central agency for the enforcement of federal laws, the Department of Justice (DOJ) performs the essential duty of keeping the public safe and ensuring justice. Congress appropriates more than $23 billion annually to fully equip law enforcement and civilian services to uphold these principles. Law enforcement personnel know that a coordinated, informed, and well-run operation is essential to success. Yet, billions of taxpayer dollars at DOJ are funneled into programs that duplicate existing government projects, lack clearly defined goals, are non-essential and/or operate without any form of measurability or accountability.”
