WASHINGTON DC – The Obama administration formally announced that inspectors general will have to get permission from their agency heads to gain access to grand jury, wiretap and fair credit information — an action that severely limits the watchdogs’ oversight capabilities, independence and power to uncover fraud.
An opinion, issued by the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel, says the Inspector General Act of 1978 — which was written by Congress to create the government watchdogs in order to help maintain integrity within their agencies — does not have the authority to override nondisclosure provisions in other laws, most notably in regard to grand jury, wiretap or fair credit information.

Is there anyplace else left for Obama's corruption. It seems to be everywhere.

The hard part is acting surprised when the Chicago Mob came to DC and acted just like they do in Illinois.

This started early. In 2009, an IG, Gerald Walpin, was investigating fraud by Sacramento Mayor and ex-NBA star Kevin "KJ" Johnson. We know how Obama loves black basketball stars.
The Obama administration quashed the investigation and fired Walpin for being old and incompetent. Early in... smelled a bit funny, but hard to tell the truth. Now we know. Obama doesn't want any unfettered, independent investigations into his corruptions.
Here's the link about the Johnson investigation: Obama quashes KJ investigation

The Obama cartel continues on...surprise surprise!

We can't even have the smallest notion that any attempt is made for truth in this regime. Welcome to Russia everyone, Lenin and Stalin would be proud.

Nope, they don’t care. Too busy stuffing their pockets with cash and boozing it up with interns/hookers.

Combine Walpin’s firing with forcing J. Christian Adams out at DOJ Civil rights division and it was clear, very early on, to anyone paying attention that Chicago Politics had relocated to Pennsylvania Ave.

Why bother?
We pretty much know the story.
Problem is, most people refuse to believe it. Too late now.
