Via Dan Riehl and Ed Morrissey comes the news that the Obama administration is under investigation for the firing of not one, but three IGs.
The third incident came last week at the International Trade Commission, where Judith Gwynne worked independent of the White House, and which will be a critical position as Obama reshapes trade arrangements around the world. An ITC employee earlier this year “forcibly removed” paperwork from Gwynne. Rather than back the IG after Grassley wrote a letter demanding answers, the political appointees at the ITC dumped her.
As I argued yesterday, it somewhat defeats the purpose of an IG to make the investigator have to report to the corporate chiefs of an organization. I wonder whether the Obama administration can be sued under RICO.
Sister Toldjah's on the story, too, as is Moe Lane, and now the Chicago Tribune--which probably knows what to look for.
