Systematic Destruction of Government Oversight

IGNET.gov has been removed from the internet.

Oversight.gov with its thousands of IG reports and oversight documentation
has been removed.

This article discusses how at least 15 of Inspector General websites have
been removed, but more than two dozen IG sites and whistleblower hotlines
across the federal government are now gone.
