Plus an earlier thread one of the Americorps Board members has now admitted that Walpin was fired to prevent a democrat scandal.
The comment I read is not in support of Walpin, nor is it even a hint of admission that the board was trying to prevent or bury a democrat scandal. In fact, it's the opposite. The general tenor is a self-serving, anti-Walpin sentiment, "he's wrongly attempting to keep old news of a properly settled issue alive, and we want to look ahead."
AmeriCorps Board Member--Walpin Was Fired For Political Reasons
"Right now, when there is such a great emphasis on service, we did not need any press out there on this St. HOPE matter, which was already settled," the board member told [Byron York]. "We thought he was going to use the press ... He had an issue with the fact that a settlement was reached ... and he was doing everything he could to continue to keep the issue at the forefront." ...But there is no doubt that, whatever the other reasons, the board feared that a revival of a scandal they thought was in the past would be embarrassing to the newly-prominent AmeriCorps.
The AmeriCorps board of directors is a problem here. So is the US Attorney's Office. I think this is typical when a politician (here; Johnson) is embroiled in the controversy. All these people serve at the pleasure of a politician, and they know which side their bread is buttered on. As far as I'm concerned, the whole lot of them is completely corrupt. GUILTY. Hiding something.
