After being briefed today on President Obama’s firing last week of Gerald Walpin, Inspector General of the Corporation for National and Community Service, Sen.

Remember, it was not the Zero who made the call, it was some special counsel shill. If this gets too close to him, the counsel goes under the bus for doing something he was not supposed to do.

I can’t find a single article on Walpin-gate on cnn’s website.

CNN transcipts 06/09/2009: GERALD WALPIN, FORMER INSPECTOR GENERAL: IG's are supposed to be independent and not subject to political pressure. By firing me, they're telling other IG's be careful that you don't touch anything that we don't like.

Remember, it was not the Zero who made the call, it was special counsel Craig, a former shill for Hillary. If this gets too close to him, the counsel goes under the bus for doing something he was not supposed to do.
