  1. These are criminals running CBP they have an office in Herndon VA that is used for promotions of well connected supervisors. These people are on AUO overtime daily and get bonuses regularly for doing nothing more than ordering reports on current events in the news. They then claim they had a hand in an arrest opr seizure that they had nothing to do with. Thay all had flat screens put in each office and are looking at moving to a larger building, they are currently paying over 3 million a year for the Worldgate Dr office and they are padding the supervisors to get a promotion for the director.Close this office.
