DISGUSTING: Obama Punishing Judicial Watch For Exposing His Corruption

September 30, 2016| by Robert Gehl

Political operatives within the Obama administration wrongly punished conservative legal group Judicial Watch, stripping it of “media” status and trying to force it to pay higher fees for its open records requests, the General Services Administration inspector general said in a letter released Thursday.

The GSA botched several high-profile open records requests, delaying them for months while political appointees got involved, Inspector General Carol F. Ochoasaid. The findings were released while the administration was facing charges of slow-walking open records requests for Hillary Clinton’s emails, as well as other requests, The Washington Times is reporting.
In the case of Judicial Watch, the order to strip it of media status came from political operatives with long ties to Democratic causes — and even from the White House.

The inspector general said the decision came at the behest of Gregory Mecher, a former Democratic campaign fundraiser who at the time was liaison to theWhite House. He is married to Jen Psaki, a longtime spokeswoman with the Obama administration and its election campaigns.

Sadly enough the entire government is riddled with people who will continue to do the dem's dirty work long after the current occupant of the white hut has gone on to doing his dirty work outside the government.

Someone needs to clean out the bureaucratic cesspool.

The politicization of the Federal government will continue until it is faced by an organized opposition party.

I agree,and since the vast majority of those people have no actual job skills or experience beyond family connections that got them political appointments,I can't wait to see how these lefties like living in da hood in gubbermint housing and on welfare and food stamps. I gotta wonder how simpatico they are with the ghetto rats after a couple of weeks of living there.

A central tenant of the Trump candidacy is the desire to reform the federal government.

The fact that 25% of federal employees have said they'd quit if Trump wins is encouraging.

"Black sheep" is racist!

Judicial Watch has been almost alone in exposing much of the corruption and malfeasance within the government lately.  Some very brave people there.

If you not donating to them, you might want to consider doing so.

No he isn't.  But it is certainly reasonable to believe that he -- and particularly the Republicans he appoints to his Cabinet -- will be a hell of a lot more likely to clean out the bureaucratic cesspool to at least some extent than will be a Hillary Clinton Administration.

This is actually one of the strongest argument to vote for Trump. As unappealing as he is personally to many of us, the people he brings with him into the Administration are going to be infinitely preferable to what Hillary would bring.  Not only in terms of the regulatory environment, but in terms corruption in things like the Justice Department, etc.

Chris Christie isn't a popular guy, but I'd take him 10/10 as Attorney General over another leftist stooge like Loretta Lynch.

BS, ain't ever gonna happen.  Just a bunch of petulant whining by teat feeders attempting to sway peoples positions through emoting. 

Just like the celebutards who keep threatening to leave but are still hanging around like a bad toe fungus.
