Uh Oh: Whistleblower Obama Fired Had Uncovered Pay-Offs For Sexual Abuse Involving Supporter
Last night I posted about a report indicating that the Obama administration had “scrambled” to find a reason to fire government inspector Gerald Walpin after they’d fired him for uncovering scandal and corruption involving Americorps and Obama supporter (and former NBA star) Kevin Johnson.
Today comes more news about the uncovered scandal, including pay-offs with tax dollars to underage girls Johnson had either had sex with or had propositioned for sex.
Sexual abuse accusations by St. HOPE Academy students against Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson were apparently covered up, possibly with “hush money,” according to a 61-page report issued by congressional investigators.
Failure of school officials to report sexual abuse of minors violates California state law, investigative staff of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) noted in their report on the June firing of AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin.
The allegations investigated by Walpin’s office were “very serious,” Grassley said in a statement, saying that evidence indicates a political motive for the IG’s firing. “It seems a lot of people might have been interested in protecting the AmeriCorps program and the Mayor of Sacramento from an IG who was discovering some unpleasant facts.” …
Walpin pressed for criminal prosecution of Johnson, an Obama supporter. Instead, a deal that allowed the mayor to avoid prosecution and repay federal grant money was approved by Alan Solomont, a major Democratic fundraiser who is chairman of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the federal agency that oversees the AmeriCorps volunteer program.
So Johnson got caught using taxpayer dollars as hush money to keep the a sex scandal quiet. Walpin and other government investigators wanted him to be prosecuted. The Obama administration allowed the matter to be covered up, with Johnson only being required to pay back the money.
When Walpin raised a stink, he was fired with the Obama administration scrambling to justify the firing with questions about his competence.
This is ugly business. Misappropriation of public funds. Cronyism. Corruption. A cover-up. And underaged sex. And it was all covered up by the Obama administration.
Hope for change.
