"President Barack Obama says he has lost confidence in the inspector general who investigates AmeriCorps and other national service programs and has told Congress he is removing him from the position."
"Here’s the latest blow to the lawless Democrat-Socialist party and their tired media machine.
"President Trump fired 17 controversial Inspectors General in a Friday night purge to punctuate the end of his first week in office.
"Real Clear Politics reporter Susan Crabtree explained that many of these IGs, who are in a position to identify and clean up waste and abuse, have long histories of whitewashing reports and playing politics.
"Trump did keep current Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari Jr., who is conducting multiple investigations into the Secret Service failures that led to two assassination attempts on President Trump’s life." . . .
. . . "However, there appears to be a precedent for firing Inspector Generals, and it goes back to Barack Obama.
"Barack Obama fired an Inspector General without any pushback from the legacy media.
"In 2009, Barack Obama fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin after the IG identified millions of dollars in AmeriCorps funds that were wasted or misspent.
"The man in charge of AmeriCorps was a top Obama supporter and friend, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson.
"Mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama supporter, used AmeriCorps grants to pay volunteers to engage in school board political activities, run personal errands for Johnson, and even wash his car." . . .
