Walpin vindicated, will demand job back

by Ed Morrissey, HOT AIR:

In June, the White House fired Gerald Walpin as Inspector-General of the Corporation for National and Community Service after he objected to an unusually-favorable settlement of fraud charges against a Barack Obama ally in Sacramento. The Obama administration insisted that Walpin got fired for instability and strongly hinted that Walpin was senile, but a series of actions against IGs seemed to show that Obama had decided to attack their independence. Yesterday, the IGs struck back by clearing Walpin of the White House’s allegations through their professional board, and now Walpin wants his job back:

[...]

The IGs have not been fooled.  In an administration that has czars bursting out of its seams, IGs represent a threat to their power.  They have given the Obama administration a bloody nose, and Walpin that much more ammunition for a court case Obama would be well advised to settle at any cost now.

 

I still remember Beck interviewing him. It was hilarious. Made the WH look dreadful. Good for him. Hope he sues.
