I believe strongly, Anderson, that when it comes to V.A. and national security, we can't make this a political issue.
VA OIG reports 'must be accurate,' 'must be fair,' and 'must be objective.' This report is none of those things.
I think the way the findings were used -- were used in a political way. Not by the inspector general, but by the political appointees within V.A.
Slowing down and pausing to see what the consequences are, even if they are unintended consequences, is important to do.
