James Lankford actually said...

"This Congress is very dependent on very independent, very gifted, and tenacious Inspectors General."

"Good afternoon. Today we will consider the nomination of Carol Ochoa for the position of Inspector General (IG) of the General Services Administration (GSA)."

"if it is just about making the agency run smoother and not about protecting the taxpayer or the long-term vision of it, then we have lost focus somewhat."

"We have to be better at this."
