But I really have to say I find it hard to believe that if President Obama had gotten rid of four inspector generals, inspectors general in six weeks, that you would have the same attitude that you seem to have right now, Jake. Again, Two of those inspector generals under President Obama resigned under the scrutiny of my oversight. So, again, I'm not going to speak specifically to this case with, you know, quite honestly, with this inspector general. Both Senator Grassley and I have had a real problem with his responsiveness to, in particular, one oversight request. (03:46–03:52)
