“Watchdogs or Lapdogs? When Oversight Becomes a Loyalty Test”
What happens when the person hired to investigate government corruption… just came from inside the leadership team?
This week, we discuss Cheryl Mason's appointment as VA Inspector General and why it should be a warning flag for every agency in America. I also share my personal experience as a Veteran and former VA employee who was targeted — with no justice, no recourse, and no help from the very office that was supposed to protect me.
This is about structural conflict. About justice that should be blind. And about the rules we need to fix so oversight means something again.
