WASHINGTON DC – The Obama administration formally announced that inspectors general will have to get permission from their agency heads to gain access to grand jury, wiretap and fair credit information — an action that severely limits the watchdogs’ oversight capabilities, independence and power to uncover fraud.
An opinion, issued by the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel, says the Inspector General Act of 1978 — which was written by Congress to create the government watchdogs in order to help maintain integrity within their agencies — does not have the authority to override nondisclosure provisions in other laws, most notably in regard to grand jury, wiretap or fair credit information.

The Hillbilly Whorehopper, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton fired ALL Attorneys General as soon as he was inaugurated. Hillbilly Clinton made sure all the IGs were his appointments. When George W. Bush fired 8 or so IGs, for incompetence and lawlessness, the Libs & media had a #@%T Fit.
My guess is the corruption we hear about is the tip of an iceberg and when Obama leaves office we will see a lot of his associates leave the country because of fear of being prosecuted for there crimes while he was in office.
“For the right price, all that info can be purchased from the Chinese.”
This is not a joke. I wonder if anyone has asked. They might let it go cheap.
“Why bother to investigate? Just shut ‘em down.”
Just change the door locks on the White House while he is away!

Obama is LAWLESS because Republican leaders are BALLLESS!!!
It’s about time to appoint independent counsels to investigate and prosecute Hillary, the State Department and the IRS.
The most transparent administration ever.
Obama akbar!
I recall back when Holder was going to prosecute the Bush CIA agents. I recall thinking that the W Administration was over and that it would be bad form to (to say nothing of the lack of righteousness) chase down those that were doing the leader’s bidding. But this Obama administration isn’t just political, it’s completely lawless. Lawless from top to bottom, inside to out, political employees to civil service buro’s. This is going to have to be rooted out. We’ll get nowhere with a disloyal (I mean that in the broadest sense of American Patriotism) 5th column foiling everything from within, forever. The damage to the country from this crowd is literally incalculable.
