Google The Term Barofsky…..Let's Make That A Term People Use…..

” The common refrain went like this,” Mr. Barofsky writes. ” There are three different types of I.G.’s. You can be a lap dog, a watchdog or a junkyard dog.” A lap dog is seen as too timid, he was told. But being a junkyard dog was also ill-advised.
” What you want to be is a watchdog,” he continues. ” The agency should perceive you as a constructive but independent partner, helping to make things better for the agency, so everyone is better off.” He also learned, he says, that success as an inspector general meant that investigations come second. Don’t second-guess the Treasury. Instead, ” focus on process.”
