Good for him.
If Holder is not going to uphold the laws of this land, perhaps by investigating Barry’s illegal firing of this IG, then perhaps a trial lawyer and judge can do what is not.
Since when did Obama care about the law. He can’t even produce a valid birth certificate.
I do know that the firing generated quite a bit of interest over at the FBI, and they have opened an investigation into all of Walpin’s claims. Ironic that this had only been a civil matter, but now has progressed into a criminal investigation.
--------------------------------------------------
Short version: Walpin was investigating Obama cronys involvement in an AmeriCorps-related scandal involving misappropriation of funding. Case was settled, to the mild detriment of crony*. Walpin disagreed with settlement. Complaint made against him. So far, this is all he-said, he-said.
Then the White House tried to force out Walpin; Walpin, well aware of his rights, made them go through the process. At this point, Senator Charles Grassley - Republican - stepped in, as IG issues are one of his interests. Grassley would also like to know if the First Ladys office is involved in this somehow, given that her CoS is going over to run the Corporation for National and Community Service, who Walpin was also responsible for oversight over. Meanwhile, Senator Claire McCaskill - Democrat - has also stepped in, as she too is usually associated with IG protection. That makes this officially a matter of bipartisan concern, which means that the White House of course is doing everything it can to address said concerns seriously.
Im kidding, of course. No, what the White House is actually doing, of course, is trying to imply that Walpins senile:
WASHINGTON Responding to criticism from a Senate Democratic ally, President Obama explained why he fired the Inspector General of the AmeriCorps without the 30-day notification required by law, calling Gerald Walpin so confused and disoriented that there was reason to question his capacity to serve.
As Ed Morrissey noted, believing that this was the White Houses primary motive requires that you believe that the administrations instinctive, immediate reaction to seeing an employee come down with a debilitating disease is to fire them. Yes. That is precisely the thing that one does when one wishes to maintain a reputation for empathy and tolerance. I cant say that I have as much difficulty as Michelle Malkin reconciling the allegation of Walpins mental diminished capacity with his public appearances (see the video above), mostly because neither I nor Ms. Malkin can take it at all seriously
Moe Lane - Let us recap the Gerald Walpin situation.
