Settle at any cost now? Hell, the Obama administration will probably “double down” and go to even greater lengths to destroy Walpin. If I were him, I’d purchase a Kevlar vest ASAP.

Nothing happened. You people are imagining things.

NYT, WP, CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR etc etc etc… ad infinitum.

Not one member of the so-called MSM will make an issue of this, except Fox.

If Inspector Walpin gets his job back, inspectors general everywhere in the country will be emboldened.

Shades of Travelgate. Except that Obama, like a rank amateur, tried to dirty the name of an Inspector General, while Clinton was smart enough — though sleazy enough — to smear a few lowly civil service employees without the means to fight back.

This is a guy who is a bit of a hero to me. The story isn’t a big one. It would have been easy enough to just walk away.

But he didn’t. He stuck to his guns, for the good of the country and for his own record.

This ain’t Chicago Barry. If it were you could use some of Dailey’s muscle to rough up the old guy. Now he has a chance to get your dribbling friend in Sacramento and expose you and your on-the-dole wife.

[...] Ed Morrissey summarizes the series of events that began this summer: In June, the White House fired Gerald Walpin as Inspector-General of the Corporation for National and Community Service after he objected to an unusually-favorable settlement of fraud charges against a Barack Obama ally in Sacramento. The Obama administration insisted that Walpin got fired for instability and strongly hinted that Walpin was senile, but a series of actions against IGs seemed to show that Obama had decided to attack their independence. Yesterday, the IGs struck back by clearing Walpin of the White House’s allegations through their professional board, and now Walpin wants his job back…. [...]

BarryBoy has a lot of parallels in his temperament and governance. All that is missing so far is the physical detention or execution of perceived enemies and forced labor to meet economic goals. The ego, icon-making, and PR machine are in place.

The only reason Stalin could get away with it was because his political enemies didn’t have guns.

If Obama’s enemies weren’t a bunch of right wing, bible thumping, gun toting radicals, I’m convinced he’d be rounding us up and herding us into re-education camps.

For some reason Walpin reminds me of John Bolton.
