Why is Judicial Watch doing this? The government should be all over it
It takes a private sector to investigate the government now... And I bet the IRS is investigating them right back

Few people know that the inspector general is not an outside body. It is an INTERNAL organization that is subject to political pressures. I believe that many of the people who work in those offices do try to root out problems but agencies don’t want their dirty laundry exposed, especially at the national level. So, while perform a useful service, their effectiveness is geared toward lower level problems not high profile ones. In effect, they are constrained by political considerations.
The GAO on the other hand is congress’s watchdog. That’s the investigative weapon that needs to be all over this mess.
