If someone vandalized $900K worth of gov't property, they'd sure as hell be getting more than this crap sentence.

Wait....
A longtime senior official at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency admitted to accepting almost $900,000 in pay and benefits for work he didn’t do by pretending he was away on missions for the CIA.
From 2000 to 2013, Beale was absent from his EPA job for a total of about two and a half years, during which he drew salary and benefits...

900k in pay and benefits, for 2.5 years? $360k/year?
It's not me, it's someone else.
