Specifically to your question, Acting Treasury Inspector General Richard K. Delmar, who continues in that office today.
The fault for all of this is Trump.
Until late 2019, Trump retained Obama’s IGs at State, FBI, DOJ, Treasury, Intelligence Community, CIA, Defense, IRS, Homeland Security (Immigration), and just about everywhere else that mattered politically.
Total incompetence or total negligence on Trump's part.
Trump needed to fire EVERYONE who was appointed by Obama and leave all the positions vacant if the Senate refused to approve verifiable Conservatives.
If a leaderless department or agency needed an executive decision, tell them to make an appointment with the president, explain the issue, and the president will decide.

The “oh shit” moment might be related to the requests for trump tax returns. I think I would have said that. being caught in the middle is not good. He might have to get off the fence post and choose a side or did choose.
The “nothing happened” might not be true. We don’t know what happened. This might be the start of something happening.
Bkmk
So it takes a podunk newspaper out of Columbus to being this to light. Our disgusting sycophantic national media wouldn’t touch this with a 10-foot pole.
Delmar, the deputy inspector general who issued the ruling, functioned as the department’s acting inspector general since June 2019 because nobody was appointed as Treasury’s inspector general. Delmar has worked as an attorney in the Treasury inspector general’s office since July 1999. He was previously a trial attorney in the Department of Justice’s tax division, as well as a tax litigator and criminal tax program manager with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel. He said in an interview Friday that the has no partisan affiliations.
IRS is part of Treasury....did you forget the Lois Lerner criminality in blocking conservative groups from forming 401c(3) organizations in the years before the 2012 Obama re-election?
I’m wondering if this reporter saw something that was in the briefcase file that broke free from Grenell recently. (Is that the right name? I’m meaning the person who got Schiff to release all that testimony where none of the people questioned in Congress had any evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion, but were constantly on camera saying they did.)
Yes, isn’t that what Maxine Waters was referring to years ago?
Damn, I wish this could result in some high-level prosecutions... if we had a real justice system in this country, it would.
You always seem to, with laser like precision, find a way to get back to blaming President Trump.
You are an unusual Freeper. And for me to notice such a thing is testament to the fact.
I guess you have your reasons.
This surveillance program was run out of Treasury’s Office of Intelligence Analysis, which was then under the leadership of S. Leslie Ireland. Ireland came to OIA in 2010 after a long tenure at the Central Intelligence Agency and a one-year stint as Obama’s daily in-person intelligence briefer.
The other possibility for keeping them in place, is to begin to expose the amount of corruption that is in DC. How would we ever know if they were just fired? Trump has shown me just how large and deep the cesspool is in that place. It’s more than just congress and it’s more than just FBI and CIA and intelligence agencies. It’s damn near everyone in the whole place.
And I am reading about this 3 years later in a small local paper why? The Joseph Goebbels Propaganda machine will never touch this one!
Interesting background on the author:

McCabe is a public affairs NCO in the Army Reserve and he deployed for 15 months to Iraq as a combat historian.
Whistle blowing needs to be transmuted into firing squading.
Those American traitors can be allowed to live
I kinda feel bad for the black community in that instead of moving the cause of “so-called” equality forward, Obama and his cronies set back that cause decades.
The old saying goes, “you can take the boy outta the ghetto, but’cha can't take the ghetto outta the boy.”
This country will not see another black president for decades...if ever. Good going Obama. Way to represent the black community. Thuggery on display. Ya might as well pull on a hoodie, get’cha seff a gold tewff grill, pull yo jeans down pass yo @$$ and sport a 9.
A little cleaner look that suit your wearing, you seem articulate, smart, but in the end...you're a thug.
What if Barr knows who it is?
He was a neighborhood organizer. Enough said
That answers my question why so many Treasury department people were on the list that Grassley and Johnson released. These people are not investigators, who can legitimately request unmasking; they are consumers of the unmasked intelligence product. This is getting good. Time for all whistleblowers to come forward.
Here’s the deal..Trump is a GOOD man ...GOOD people dont think all DEMOCRATS are out to do BAD.....he’s learning and he has more on his plate than 3 PRESIDENTS combined!
