It’d be great to see this come back and bite Zer0.

It is interesting how the MSM kept driving at the lawyer firings by the Bush admin to be investigated. But with this obviously political firing by Obama, the MSM tries to paint it like fringe groups are the only ones pushing for an investigation.

America has lost. We, as conservatives and (appearantly) the only defenders of this once great nation, need to see what can be salvaged from our eventual collapse from the rule of the ‘great’ telepromptor and the state-run media.

-- A bipartisan group of 145 current and former public officials ... --

Good. That changes the complexion from "he said / he said" as between Walpin & Brown, and as to the Corporation Board.

Yep! Zer0 is in for a surprise, anyone speaking out against this stuff in Chicago gets their leg broke but not in Washington.

Some may end up in the Potomic wearing cement boots. He has installed his hoods in this administration.

Plus an earlier thread one of the Americorps Board members has now admitted that Walpin was fired to prevent a democrat scandal.

-- an earlier thread one of the Americorps Board members has now admitted that Walpin was fired to prevent a democrat scandal --

The comment I read is not in support of Walpin, nor is it even a hint of admission that the board was trying to prevent or bury a democrat scandal. In fact, it's the opposite. The general tenor is a self-serving, anti-Walpin sentiment, "he's wrongly attempting to keep old news of a properly settled issue alive, and we want to look ahead."

AmeriCorps Board Member--Walpin Was Fired For Political Reasons

"Right now, when there is such a great emphasis on service, we did not need any press out there on this St. HOPE matter, which was already settled," the board member told [Byron York]. "We thought he was going to use the press ... He had an issue with the fact that a settlement was reached ... and he was doing everything he could to continue to keep the issue at the forefront." ...

But there is no doubt that, whatever the other reasons, the board feared that a revival of a scandal they thought was in the past would be embarrassing to the newly-prominent AmeriCorps.

The AmeriCorps board of directors is a problem here. So is the US Attorney's Office. I think this is typical when a politician (here; Johnson) is embroiled in the controversy. All these people serve at the pleasure of a politician, and they know which side their bread is buttered on. As far as I'm concerned, the whole lot of them is completely corrupt. GUILTY. Hiding something.
