Fired by Trump, an Inspector General Writes a Book on Why the Job Matters

I wanted to explain the important role of inspectors general to encourage people to support the role. I think they make government more honest.

We live in a more polarized time, so IG reports sometimes get viewed through that lens. I also think IGs are asked to do more and more.

IGs are nonpartisan, they are challenged by every administration, and they are not popular in any administration.

Their work is valued by both parties, but the resources to do it in a timely way don't always follow.
