Pic above is from June 17, 2009: Letter from board members Solomont, Goldsmith, Im, Palmer, Soloway, Tanenblatt, Ward to Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) regarding their concerns with Walpin's tenure. "Over an extended period of time, we observed how Gerald Walpin's effectiveness asInspector General significantly diminished," they wrote.
TPM:
There are 33 separate documents, meaning there's a lot in there. So if you're up for it, take a look at them and let us know -- via comments or email -- what jumps out, in terms of information that further explains how and why Walpin appeared to lose the confidence of CNCS, and whether the White House acted reasonably in firing him.
On a a side note: Here was the June 11, 2009 Obama letter to Pelosi on why he fired IG Walpin. Click here. I noticed that Senator Grassley never mentioned or questioned to the media the board members' letter to him six days after Obama's letter to Congress concerning Walpin.
