This isn’t a bit surprising for those that know what an IG is for, and what the office’s limits are.
“”This isn’t a bit surprising for those that know what an IG is for, and what the office’s limits are.””
As far as I’ve ever been able to tell, they are there to collect paychecks. I think the whole idea of IG’s should be abolished. I continue to say they are like the TV commercials - they don’t do anything, they just monitor!
If they DO DO anything useful and step on the wrong toes, they get fired - ie Walpin when he investigated an Academy in Sacramento that obozo’s basketball buddy had links to. I think if I remember right, that poor man lost his job and a few years later was hit and killed by a vehicle in NYC.
::After its May 20, 2009 meeting that discussed Walpin’s report criticizing the St. HOPE Academy settlement agreement and Walpin’s forthcoming report questioning the validity of the largest AmeriCorps program—the Research Foundation of City University of New York (RFCUNY) New York City Teaching Fellows program, the bipartisan CNCS Board of Directors unanimously requested that the White House review Walpin’s conduct as Inspector General.[7][8]
Removal and lawsuit[edit]
Walpin was suspended with pay on June 11, 2009 by President Barack Obama, who on the same day advised the U.S. Congress that he would remove Walpin from office, effective 30 days from then, because he no longer had “the fullest confidence in” Walpin as Inspector General,[9][10] and on June 16, 2009, the White House submitted a letter with additional information on the reasons Walpin was removed.[7]::
IG’s are there to do investigations and audits, and then turn their findings over. Its how it works out. Usually their corrective measures mean loss of funding if they are not resolved, so agencies usually try to meet them.
“This isn’t a bit surprising for those that know what an IG is for, and what the office’s limits are.”
correct. but it’s way more fun for too many ignorant FReeeprs and assorted trolls here to rant and rave about shite they know nothing about.
Ordering Horowitz to investigate the Dem/Obama campaign spying is a good first step for investigating these peccadilloes. The paper trail is all still there as are many existing FedGov employees who CAN be made to testify about both former and existing employees.
When criminal activity IS found by the IG, THEN he refers to ACTUAL law enforcement officials who DO have broad subpoena power, as was the case with the criminal referral of McCabe.
And I fully expect that’s what we’re going to see with the upcoming release of the Clinton report, as well as several others that Horowitz still has in the works. People here forget that Horowitz announced several months ago that there were going to multiple reports, each one dealing with an different issue.
Thank you. Issuing subpoenas is not what the IG does, and I learned that on FR.
Fair and impartial, independent and honorable, are all aspects of the ultimate IG. Knowing Trump is the head of the Agency Directory, I am sure this IG is going to report his findings to the appropriate people. I have complete faith that this IG will deliver. There is no room for a committee like in congress or the senate where the two party system splits their membership - the IG is independent of those concerns and the rule of law will weigh heavily upon comparing activities and determining their legality.

Rosencriminal should be forced to recuse himself by the President.
