Meanwhile, the investigation of Bush’s executive privilege of firing 9 politically apppointed states’ attorneys is still ongoing...

Michelle Obama's Connection to AmeriCorps

" Gerald Walpin, the former AmeriCorps inspector general who was fired after appearing confused at a meeting, has some pretty important friends coming to his defense. Some 145 of them, including political foes, have written Congress and the White House to refute attacks on his integrity in the controversy over why he was fired by the Obama administration.

"We have never seen Mr. Walpin to be 'confused, disoriented, [or] unable to answer questions,' " wrote the 145, who include former federal judges and even Democrats like Bernie Nussbaum, former President Clinton's first White House counsel ".

Even Political Foes Cheer on Fired AmeriCorps Inspector General Walpin

READ THE LETTER written defending Gerald Walpin that even political foes endorse.

Secrecy is transparency.

Another Orwellian prophecy that has come true in Chairman Obama’s reign.

Key Republicans in both the House and the Senate are accusing the White House of giving "incomplete and misleading" information to investigators probing the president's abrupt firing of AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin. In return, the White House is hinting that documents concerning its actions in the Walpin affair may be protected by executive privilege.

Here we go again.

Scumbag in Chief wants to cover his tracks, so he claims EP on a matter that has nothing whatsoever to do with the concept.

The leftist media will pretend none of it is happening.

It's the UNYC investigation that triggers something in my gut....Is the CA incident just an excuse so we don't look at the other investigation Walpin was conducting?

Who in the administration does it point to? Can't seem to find much information on that part of the investigation.

I went to the official WH website to check his orders and found this. It has nothing to do with Walpin but it sure sounds like he is making The White House Council on Automotive Communities and Workers.

How far will this man be allowed to take over and be in charge of all? Czars and all?

You're correct, not a peep in details about this investigation.

Strange.

He doesn’t need to lose the mole on his nose.
It just needs to move to his forhead.

Maybe I should have made it travel...
