It took three years for the Office of the Inspector General to investigate and then issue a non public report on the problems within toma. Only took [the Office of the Inspector General] a couple months to write and make public a report that retaliated against the whistleblowers of the problems with the TOMAH VA system. That's why these positions are so incredibly important. That's why we need people of integrity that will be independent, that will be transparent, so the agencies within this federal government are held accountable. (04:43–04:50)
