    Let me get this straight. The first DHS IG, Clark Kent Ervin was sacked because he was honest about the Department being a mess. Richard Skinner was appointed in his place and I'm sure he was warned, either implicitly by Mr. Ervin's sacking or verbally by the Administration, not to do the same thing. And now Mr. Skinner has been put in a position whete he might end up criticizing the Department? How can anyone expect DHS to police itself after such an obvious, politically motivated act such as getting rid of a man because he did his job? And how can anyone expect Mr. Skinner or Mr. Matthew Janacki to perform a fair assessment? Get ready for a major political spin coming from the DHS IG.
