TechCrunch has written about the FCCs pre-emptive reaction to the new inspector general report regarding an alleged attack on the FCC comment system last year which the FCC had long alluded to concerning the net neutrality debate. The FCC now admits that the attacks never actually took place, after a report from its inspector general found a lack of evidence supporting the idea. Chairman Ajit Pai immediately turned around and blamed both the previous CIO and ... wait for it ... Obama.
Pai's statement was issued before the OIG publicized its report, as one does when a report is imminent that essentially says your agency has been clueless at best or deliberately untruthful at worst, and for more than a year. To be clear, the report is still unpublished, though its broader conclusions are clear from Pai's statement. In it he slathers Bray with the partisan brush and asserts that the report exonerates his office
TechCrunch is still waiting to hear back from the FCC and its Office of the Inspector General for more information, including the report itself.

We only get fake outrage because the politicians that would be actually outraged were voted out of office in the last cycle because they refused to take part in the latest hack of the political process.
This is not intended to be partisan, but a general statement affecting all politicians that should be equally applicable regardless of who is in power. This shit is worse at the primary level anyway.
If there isn't at least one reference or primary source, it's not +1 Informative. Maybe the underused +1 Interesting?
