managers at the Interior Department for inappropriate conduct, including

Intimidation, harassment and discrimination is a cancer to any

And how about those vaunted law enforcement officers at Interior? We already know about Dan Love. Now we find out about this:
At least one Interior employee accused of harassment has been named in an inspector general report published in February.
Tim Lynn was the director of the agency's law enforcement office and
was investigated for his behavior after an employee who worked for him
said he was "touchy-feely" and and would sometimes touch her arms or
hair and at least once talked about watching porn when they were alone
in the office. Lynn denied the allegations but the IG's office found
five other women who said he had acted unprofessionally toward them,
including touching, hugging, personal text messages and flirtatious
comments. The Washington Post reported that Lynn retired in May.
