The Office of Special Counsel says its investigation found that former U.S. attorney Rachel Paulose retaliated against John Marti. Marti reported Paulose to Justice Department officials for leaving classified homeland security reports out in the open in her office.
The investigation found that Paulose retaliated by moving to remove Marti as her first assistant U.S. attorney. Marti accepted a demotion and returned to being an assistant U.S. attorney.
Under the settlement, Marti will get back pay and a lump sum payment and any negative references will be removed from his personnel records.
During the investigation, Paulose was reassigned to a Justice Department position in Washington.
I didn't have time to check the comments - I imagine this will bring the wingnuts out in force.
