The article violates BLP and NPOV by failing to mention Kevin Johnson, Walpin's side of the story in his firing, the Congressional demands for investigation into Walpin's firing, and the reasoning behind the district court's dismissal of the lawsuit, all of which lead to an unfair assessment of Walpin.

Well, I'm making a new argument, and I further note that the recent elections have changed the notability of the issue--nothing in the archive reflects recent November 2010 press coverage. Reduce the section to four or five sentences: (paraphrasing) 1) Walpin was appointed to the IG position by Bush, and dismissed by Obama. 2) Walpin claimed that the firing was politically motivated because of his investigation of Kevin Johnson; Republicans called for an investigation, and have stated that one will take place in 2011; the Obama administration denied any wrongdoing. 3) An investigation of a complaint by the US attorney against Walpin that the Obama administration cited as a reason for the dismissal cleared Walpin of any wrongdoing. 4) Walpin sued over his dismissal, and a district court ruled that the law did not permit judicial review of the executive decision.
I fail to see why any of that is problematic: it's more concise, it's more neutral, it's more fair to Walpin, it conveys more information, and it more accurately conveys what the cited secondary sources (and more recent secondary sources from November 2010) say.

Walpin was a prominent litigator for decades who received nationwide press coverage, but the majority of the article is about the Obama administration's smear of Walpin (without fairly indicating that it was a smear). THF (talk) 02:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
