The scandal brewing in Washington
regarding the firing of an Inspector General who was in the process of
investigating one of Barack Hussein Obama’s cronies is threatening to
rock the very foundation of his presidency.
Gerald Walpin, who until recently was the chief watchdog for
Americorps and other service programs, was terminated because he
exposed misuse of federal grant money by Kevin Johnson, the mayor of
Sacramento and a close friend of Obama’s who heads a non-profit
education group. Johnson also misused Americorps volunteers for
personal purposes by having them work in political campaigns and wash
his car.
In a lengthy interview on my radio program, Walpin said he was fired
for doing his job, and that the reasons that have been given for his
dismissal, that he was incoherent and disoriented, are baseless.
Some prominent Republicans, including Senator Charles Grassley of
Iowa and Representative Darrell Issa of California are calling for a
more complete explanation. Grassley wants to know what role if any
Michelle Obama may have played in Walpin’s firing. Senators Mike Enzi
of Wyoming and Orrin Hatch of Utah sent a letter to the White House
requesting more information. The protocol surrounding the termination
of Inspectors General was not even followed.
For an administration that promised transparency and open
government, the lack of full disclosure regarding Walpin’s firing reeks
of a personal vendetta and a subsequent cover-up.
Nothing short of a full congressional investigation is called for in
this case. But with the Democrats controlling the House and the
Senate…good luck.
