If nobody hears about it, it didn't happen.

Congressman carries out mass firing of investigative staff. Powerful House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-CA), who is currently under federal investigation for corruption charges, has “fired 60 investigators who had worked for his committee rooting out fraud, waste and abuse, effective immediately.” According to Congressional Quarterly, “The investigators were contract workers, brought on to handle the extraordinary level of fraud investigations facing the panel.”

Extraordinary level of fraud....Take a good look. That's the Republicans let loose in the trough for six years.
