Schweitzer Ignored Inspector General’s Report

As Montana governor, Brian Schweitzer (D) said “he threw away the 2010 U.S. Army inspector general’s report concluding that Adj. Gen. and now Lt. Gov. John Walsh had improperly used his position in the Montana National Guard for personal gain,” the Helena Independent Record reports.

Said Schweitzer: “I treated it with the respect it deserved. I put it in the round file.”

Walsh is one of three Democrats running for the U.S. Senate in 2014 and the disclosure of the investigative report is being used by his opponents.
