Inspectors General Nutuered
More circling of the wagons and insulating the corruption in the District of Criminals.

Obama administration restricts investigative powers of inspectors general
By Kelly Riddell - The Washington Times - Thursday, July 23, 2015
The Obama administration formally announced that inspectors general will have to get permission from their agency heads to gain access to grand jury, wiretap and fair credit information — an action that severely limits the watchdogs' oversight capabilities, independence and power to uncover fraud.
An opinion, issued by the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel, says the Inspector General Act of 1978 — which was written by Congress to create the government watchdogs in order to help maintain integrity within their agencies — does not have the authority to override nondisclosure provisions in other laws, most notably in regard to grand jury, wiretap or fair credit information.
"In reaching these conclusions, our Office's role has not been to decide what access [inspectors general] should receive as a matter of policy. Rather, we have endeavored to determine as a matter of law, using established tools of statutory construction, how best to reconcile the strong privacy protections ... with the interest in access reflected in ... the IG Act," states the legal counsel's opinion, which was dated Monday and released Thursday.

Brought to you by the most transparent administration in history, and the Democrats.

The system of checks and balances should be close to extinction towards the third quarter of 2016.

What a coincidence.

That long?  I seriously doubt whether most citizens of FreeStuff USA understand the concept, or have any sense as to why it should be in place. All they need to know is in 140 characters or less.
