The Daily Outrage: They put lawyers on the honor system?!

Who: Treasury Department Office of Financial Stability What: OFS paid “$91,482 in ineligible fees and expenses” to a law firm working on issues related to the Troubled Asset Relief Program, according to the special inspector general for TARP.

Why it’s an outrage: OFS should have known the fees were ineligible because they were specifically disallowed under the contract with the law firm.

Where to vent: Call the Office of Financial Stability at 202-622-2000.
