Looks like Obama’s stooping pretty low in this case!

Gerald Walpin has filed a lawsuit over his ‘wrongful termination’ and dismissal as Inspector General of AmeriCorps—Prez Obama may have illegally removed him to save one of his political backer friends. This case continues to have legs even if Congress or most of the MSM is ‘uninterested’ and refuses to cover it.

From the Washington Examiner article:

“Gerald Walpin, the AmeriCorps inspector general who was summarily fired in June amid controversy over his investigation of a politically-connected supporter of President Obama, has filed suit alleging that the firing was “unlawful,” “politically driven,” “procedurally defective” and “a transparent and clumsily-conducted effort to circumvent the protections” given to inspectors general under the Inspectors General Reform Act of 2008.”   …

“Walpin charges that the White House, in its eagerness to remove him for political purposes, never investigated the reasons it cited for the firing. “In the haste to remove Mr. Walpin from his post, not only were there…failures to comply with the statutorily-mandated procedures to preserve the integrity of the Inspector General post from politically motivated job actions,” the suit says, “no investigation was made into the facts alleged as the basis for Mr. Walpin’s termination.”
