Inspector General Walpin Firing Scandal Update

Here is a more in depth article regarding Obama’s latest scandal involving the illegal firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin.  Spoiler alert: he wasn’t fired for not paying his taxes…

To review: Walpin discovered taxpayer funds being misused by a political supporter of the president, questioned the validity of another large program funded with AmeriCorps dollars, and criticized the oversight of the CNCS board, which is chaired by one of the president’s largest contributors. The president then, without a meaningful explanation or other justification, fired Walpin.

Under such circumstances, the summary termination of an IG appears to any reasonable observer to be political revenge at best — and possibly worse, if it’s intended to prevent further investigation, cover up wrongdoing, or signal other would-be investigators to watch their backs. As is true with the Justice Department’s unexplained dismissal of the suit it had won against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation in Philadelphia, the administration’s silence is telling.

And Libs got upset when Bush fired a few prosecutors?
