Hot Air on Obama’s firing of Inspector General Walpin: There is no need to worry that IG-Gate will disappear. It has grown legs.
IG-GATE GROWS LEGS
However, despite the shocking news from Iran - and President Obama’s HuffPo press conference - for a solid week Grassley’s investigation of the fired inspectors general produced extensive news coverage, as I noted June 19 in my first Pajamas Media report on IG-Gate:
- Byron York of the Washington Examiner has filed multiple reports on Walpin and the Grassley investigation; . . .
- Walpin was interviewed by Glenn Beck on Fox News and by Lou Dobbs on CNN;
- ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper reported on the conflict between Barofsky and Geithner;
- Top talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh did a long segment about the Walpin caseduring his Thursday show, citing accounts by York, Matthew Vadum of theAmerican Spectator, bloggers Dan Riehl, John Hinderaker, and others;
- The Washington Times interviewed a witness who contradicted White House claims that Walpin was “confused and disoriented” during a May meeting; and
- The Chicago Tribune, the Sacramento Bee and the Washington Post, among other newspapers, have produced major stories about the case.
