The Underground Conservative

Guess what happens when you are a federal investigator and you dare do your job by investigating a crony of Our Lord and Savior? You get fired.

An inspector general looking into corruption in the AmeriCorps program had just that happen to him, fired by Barack Hussein Obama for investigating potential fraud on the part of Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a crony of The Christos.

WASHINGTON (al-AP) – An inspector general fired by President Barack Obama said Friday he acted “with the highest integrity” in investigating AmeriCorps and other government-funded national service programs. Gerald Walpin said in an interview with The Associated Press that he reported facts and conclusions “in an honest and full way” while serving as inspector general at the Corporation for National and Community Service.

In a letter to Congress on Thursday, Obama said he had lost confidence in Walpin and was removing him from the position.

Walpin defended his work on Friday. “I know that I and my office acted with the highest integrity as an independent inspector general should act,” he said.

Obama’s move follows an investigation by Walpin finding misuse of federal grants by a nonprofit education group led by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who is an Obama supporter and former NBA basketball star. Johnson and a nonprofit education academy he founded ultimately agree to repay half of $847,000 in grants it had received from AmeriCorps.

Imagine if this had been George W. Bush who had fired an investigator looking into fraud at, say, Halliburton, a word that makes liberals’ statists’ heads spin around like Linda Blair in The Exorcist as well as foam at the mouth. The state-run media would have this story day after day, just as they did with the legitimate firing of all U.S. attorneys by President Bush.

But just go ahead and investigate corruption on anyone who is close to the dictator and, just like in any other country run by a thug, and you are the one who’s targeted for retribution.

Walpin is lucky to be alive. He could have just disappeared or had an “accident.”
