The Department of Homeland Securitys inspector general wants you to know he has the credentials to hold accountable a 240,000-person department responsible for keeping the country safe. Until Thursday, Joseph Cuffaris official government bio stated, Dr. Cuffari earned a Ph.D. in philosophy.
That isnt true.
Cuffaris PhD from California Coast University is in management, and it was conferred by a school that was unaccredited at the time. In 2004, two years after Cuffari received the degree, the Government Accountability Office prominently featured California Coast University in a report on unaccredited diploma mills that required no classroom instruction and issued degrees for low flat fees.
Despite all this, Cuffari has regularly signed letters to Congress and the head of DHS as Joseph V. Cuffari, Ph.D.

I'm glad he's being outed as a fraud. But that's probably a job requirement to work in this administration.

Trump loves those who can't pass a background check.
Trump loves criminals.
All of this is intentional.
His goal is to destroy the federal government and pack the courts.
All that is required is supporting Trump and his agendas 100%.
It is a cult.
An evil cult.
