The Sacremento Bee notes:
Gerald Walpin, the AmeriCorps inspector general fired by the White House in July during his probe of Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, has been cleared of a complaint by the acting U.S. attorney in Sacramento that he had acted improperly.
Now, he says, he wants his job back.
“It takes away any basis belatedly set forth by the White House as a reason for my termination,” Walpin said this morning in an interview from his home in New York. “So I am certainly looking forward to a final determination by the court and to be reinstated.”
Stay tuned for what happens next – things could get interesting.
I’m a cop, a detective, and have been one for over 33 years and I feel his pain. If he doesn’t get his job back then it absolutely means that his removal was a result of corruption and as a result of him actually doing his job to the best of his abilities despite outside interferences and pressure. For years, detectives have been protected by the courts more than even the patrol officers simply because of the nature of their jobs and what is required of them to do it properly with integrity. I believe the same should apply here. Every detective in the entire country, perhaps in the world will understand what I’m saying. If he doesn’t get his job back forthwith, then it necessarily means there is corruption, there was corruption, and his removal from his duties was a result of same. Any procrastination of returning him to his duties is more evidence that something is rotten and must be investigated. Where is the MSM? What the hell happened? Our last line of defense against tyranny is sorely lacking in guts and a sense of what is right and wrong to the point of being almost treasonous.
