AmeriCorps Inspector General Shredded White House Documents at Request of Agency’s Spokeswoman Thursday, November 12, 2009 By Fred Lucas, Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) – The acting inspector general of AmeriCorps said he shredded White House documents at the request of an agency press spokeswoman that pertained to the controversial firing of the previous inspector general, who was ousted after investigating a political ally of President Obama.
The e-mail message from agency spokeswoman Ranit Schmelzer seemed urgent, as she wrote: “WH documents were sent in error. Can you please destroy them? And can you confirm you receive this e-mail?” Acting IG Kenneth Bach responded 13 minutes later writing, “Confirmed, documents were shredded.”
The email exchanges between Bach and Schmelzer, as well as other documents pertaining to the firing of the AmeriCorps inspector general, were obtained by CNSNews.com through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The documents referenced in the Bach-Schmelzer email exchange included a draft of a letter to be signed by President Obama that would be sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to inform her that Obama was firing Gerald Walpin as inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), which runs AmeriCorps, and also a set of talking points to be used in explaining to the media why Walpin was being fired.

Somewhat Nixonian I say! He may be the first POTUS to serve jail time in the long run.
I guess they interpret it as "Nothing to see here...."
Its just like having the Clintons back only scarier.
‘Nachum’ should be a word. To nachum someone is to document actions and events so as to preserve their existence, in the face of all attempts to erase such evidence as could be brought to bear as an actual history of occurrences not whitewashed by revisionism and politically correct rhetoric.
Nachum,
Consider yourself nachumed.
Hopefully, the truth shall set us free. :)
OLD TIME BUMP.
