“A congressman is seeking a Defense Department Inspector General investigation of a civilian employee with the National Guard who allegedly sent an email to troops asking them to lobby for an Army program.

Duncan Hunter’s legislative effort to scrap a maligned intelligence network program, the Distributed Common Ground System-Army. The email addresses are redacted but Hunter’s chief of staff Joe Kasper identified the sender as Micheal R. Hall, an intelligence specialist who works on plans and policy for the National Guard Bureau.

National Guard spokesman Maj. Earl Brown said that the Guard initiated its own investigation prior to receiving word of Hunter’s call to the DoD IG. Brown declined further comment, citing the ongoing investigation.”
