An updated investigation report on the scandal known as "Walpingate" adds fuel to the suspicion that President Obama may have fired Gerald Walpin, an independent inspector general, as an illegal act of political cronyism and revenge.
"Throughout our investigation of Mr. Walpin's removal, the White House has repeatedly communicated that the president was not motivated by inappropriate political reasons," said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., one of the authors of the updated report. "The fact is Gerald Walpin led an aggressive investigation of a political ally of President Obama that successfully recovered taxpayer dollars.

Impeach Zer0.
He took lessons from Hillary.....its the first thing Dems do ...fire the competent

This scandal was a far worse abuse of power than anything Nixon did in Watergate. But the press was silent, and obviously the Justice Department is not about to act. Nor its subordinate agency, the FBI. Nor is congress.
Only an honest press can deal with it. I’m afraid that the lid isn’t blown off if no one reports on it but WorldNetDaily.
Maybe that might change if the Republicans take over congress in November? The Republicans should not let this slide if they ever get a chance to run the hearings.
Walpin should consider himself lucky he wasn’t Fosterized.

Sure to be on the front page of the nyt tomorrow.
Issa seems to be a good one.
Could they start impeachment proceedings already? How much more do they need?
Sheesh.
As evidence I submit Ron Brown's murder. How about Vince Foster? If you are the right party, there are no consequences!
The “news” media are certainly not going to make this the big story it should be. Republicans should make it an issue by running ads about 0’s corruption this fall. But whether it will stick or come across as unfair partisan sniping remains to be seen.

Until I see real action...
WND is just a bunch of bs.

Sounds to me like the Repubs have been letting it slide for a while.
Actually, it seems like the Repubs let many things slide.
