AmeriCorps Inspector General shredded White House documents that pertained to Gerald Walpin’s firing
Does the name Gerald Walpin sound familiar to you? Probably not so I will refresh your memory. Gerald Walpin was an inspector general who was fired by Barack Obama. Barack Obama claimed that he had lost faith in Walpin but he did not provide the specific details on the firing to the senate as was required by law. And to top it off, Obama illegally fired Walpin with a one hour notice instead of the 30 day notice required by the Inspector General Reform Act of 2008.
It turned out that Gerald Walpin was investigating Sacramento Mayor, and Barack Obama friend, Kevin Johnson and AmeriCorps for the misuse of funds when he was fired. Gerald Walpin uncovered the abuse of funds in an organization that Barack Obama holds dear and instead of being credited with saving the taxpayers money and exposing corruption he was fired for it.
Today this story took another turn, the acting inspector general of AmeriCorps admitted that he shredded documents that pertained to Walpin’s firing at the request of an AmeriCorps spokeswoman.
The shredded documents included the draft of a letter from Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi that informed her that Gerald Walpin was fired as well as talking points that were to be sent to the media.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is investigating the Walpin firing and with this news that some of the documents pertaining to this firing were destroyed we can easily assume that there is something that the administration is trying to hide.
The president fired Gerald Walpin because he was investigating and found fraud at AmeriCrops, which just happened to be run by a friend of Barack Obama, this is fairly obvious. The administration is now trying to cover this up by destroying evidence.

Good to see that Walpin is not laying down on this one. One more nail in Obama’s 2012 coffin.
He is still trying to get his job back, I hope that he doesn’t give up.
Yes, I recall this case, but had forgotten about it. Seems like the IG was on Beck at least one time. Those in government will do anything to cover their butts. There is little honesty or honor left in Washington and thats a shame.
Honestly, I had forgotten about it also. But Walpin didn’t and neither did the committee investigating this matter.
Glad to hear this is still active. There is just so much going on that it is easy to forget.I’m sure there are a lot of things that Oba-Mao wishes he could forget.
I didn’t know it was, I thought it was swept under the rug but Walpin is suing to get his job back.
Why is it that every time the Democrats are in power, we seem to have these shredding parties!? Geesh! I hope Walpin kicks their elite butts!
I guess it is their version of a ticker tape parade.
