BHM says, "I will tell you what happened, the IG's were not independent and with their reports, as well as their very employment, are subject to the whims of the agencies they audit. ...So I am all for a beefy team of IG's that can actually audit and have their results heard without redaction or censorship."

You are factually in error. People here have told you this, multiple times, but you persist. You could take 30 seconds to google the facts yourself.

<<Are IGs independent?

Yes, IGs are independent. While by law, IG's are under the general supervision of the agency head or deputy, neither the agency head nor the deputy can prevent or prohibit an IG from conducting an audit or investigation.

The IGs are authorized to:

have direct access to all records and information of the agency,
have ready access to the agency head,
conduct such investigations and issue such reports as the IG thinks appropriate (with limited national security and law enforcement exceptions),
issue subpoenas for information and documents outside the agency (with same limited exceptions),
administer oaths for taking testimony, and
hire and control their own staff and contract resources.>>

Also, IG reports are public documents. You could read them yourself. For example:

The "sources" of what you believe to be true are lying to you. The facts are likely to be uncomfortable to you, at first. Your choice.
