At least Grassley's not letting this go. It's too bad that ABC News is only covering this on Jake Tapper's blog, and not on their World News broadcast.

Didn’t something like this happen with the Clinton’s in the beginning of their administration?
Expect the same results.

Grassley, haven’t you heard? Obama was elected as king and that naturally makes his wife Queen./s

I stopped reading at “Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, demanded.”
All for show. The right is barely putting on a pretentious fight.
This will also go the way of “PelosieGate” and all the other corrupted crappers.

Looks like the President fired Walpin so he could make a deal with St Hope so they wouldn’t have to return the stolen funds.
To: Big_Monkey
So Walpin does his job in investigating fraud and fired for doing his job. Typical dimocRAT administration.
To: Big_Monkey
I think we need to be careful about this one - it's easy to look at this as retribution for Walpin's investigation of Obama's buddy Johnson, but (from what I've read about the situation), Walpin is not entirely in the right here. He made accusatory public comments about a candidate for public office (Johnson), weeks before a contested election. That's a
big no-no for government investigators/inspectors/officials.
Of course, we should go after Obama on this - it sure looks like he violated the IG Reform Act, and MO's involvement certainly seems suspect - but we need to be aware that Walpin's hands are not clean here. Given the (near-criminal) MSM bias/Obama-protectionism, we need to be aware going in of the likely response, so we can get out ahead of the curve and attack Obama on things that cannot be defended (i.e., even if it was proper to fire Walpin, Obama did it in a clearly illegal way).

IMPEACH!!!This is a major violation of law and is what got Nixon out office. A President interfering with law enforcement is a major crime!
