Inspectors General Refuse Trumps Illegal Firing Order

[Marener]

He just did, Moroner.

Tic....toc.....

Prove he did.

crickets

 

[Marener]

How long are holdouts in WaPo going to continue to attack the President? Characterizing politics as usual as "illegal" tips the hand of the biased media.

Firing all the IGs is not politics as usual. These are people who are supposed to be a check on excessive use of power by the executive, not another empty suit to be filled by a loyalist hack.

 

[BackAgain]

Just because Trump says something, doesn’t make it true, sheepy.

Just because you deny something, you fucking idiot, doesn’t mean that it is false.

And I don’t recall Trumpnsaying that the law question unconstitutional. I say that.

And I’m correct.

 

[Nostra]

Prove he did.

crickets

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Then they all need to be fired.

Well that makes no sense. Now you blame the IGs for the national debt? Maybe blame the sitting president who will cutting revenue and increasing spending, like he did for 4 years the last time.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Doesn’t the president appoint cabinet-level OIG’s with consent of the Senste?

 

[martybegan]

In 2024, the IG's office recovered a staggering 7.13 billion dollars in fraud.

It should be self-evident to even the biggest fool why Trump wants to do away with the IG's office...and it is not to weed out fraud.

That funds the government for less than half a day.

Each IG is supposed to check on conduct within their agency, not the executive as a whole.

Or if the are, someone was nappin’on the job during the Biden years.

collectively, they cover basically all the executive. The fact that the firings covered such a swath is telling.

 

[Meister]

I wonder which area of the government the IG's were from? I'm betting these oversight goons were not
oversighting very well, probably from the the DOJ.

Link us up to Trump cutting revenue for 4 years.

Betcha can't.

GO!

 

[BluesLegend]

Trump's done a lot of homework, you can tell.

Trump has hit the ground running like no other POTUS in my lifetime. In a manner of days he's arrested over 1,000 CRIMINAL illegals, taking them off our streets. Where the F was Joe Biden the last 4 years while these illegal bastards RAPED and MURDERED our citizens??

 

[BluesLegend]

Translation, Dems are severely butthurt and humiliated by God emperor Trump.

 

[Seymour Flops]

What does the swath tell?

What did they do collectively or as individuals to stop things like the CIA hiding the fact that COVID originated in a Chinese lab?

Or stop the 8 years of federal investigation of Trump that did not lead to so much as a federal parking ticket?

Or to stop the executive from pardoning his own family members for their participation in crimes that the independent council decided Biden was too old and forgetful to be put on trial for?

Wow, gibberish. The CIA hides everything. They’re the goddamn CIA. And it’s not a fact, it’s a low confidence guess.

Or stop the 8 years of federal investigation of Trump that did not lead to so much as a federal parking ticket?

Those were very appropriate investigations. They resulted in a long list of federal charges.

Or to stop the executive from pardoning his own family members for their participation in crimes that the independent council decided Biden was too old and forgetful to be put on trial for?

The special counsel didn’t suggest his family members had any part in any “crime”. The pardons were perfectly constitutional anyway

 

[Seymour Flops]

Wow, gibberish. The CIA hides everything. They’re the goddamn CIA. And it’s not a fact, it’s a low confidence guess.

Then why do we have it now? Should the IOG investigate the CIA for NOT hiding it?

Right, because Biden was president and IGs don’t have oversight of the executive.

Sounds like you want IGs that carry out the political will of the Democrats. If true, Trump was perfectly right to fire those dudes. If they can insist on hanging around for another 30 days, so be it.

But, they are gone pecans!

 

[Marener]

Then why do we have it now? Should the IOG investigate the CIA for NOT hiding it?

Because a political hack is in charge and releasing information to create a narrative. The release of the report was political. The IG should investigate that.

sounds like you want IGS that carry out the political will of the Democrats. If true, Trump was perfectly right to fire those dudes. If they could hang around for another 30 days, so be it.

Nope. You’re a political hack, a MAGA cultist, who thinks that everting you don’t like is political persecution when in reality, Trump is a piece of shit.

 

[berg80]

I get that your pea sized brain can't comprehend, it's cool!

Last chance. Come up with a question you didn't pull out of your ass and I'd be glad to disabuse you of any trumpist belief you hold tight.

Therein lies their confusion. trump said it is routine, so they believe him without doing any research.

The dismissals, handed out less than a week after Trump took office for his second term, appeared to violate federal law, the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency said in a letter to the White House on Friday.

The law requires a president to give Congress “substantive rationale, including detailed and case specific reasons” for the dismissals 30 days in advance, the council said in the letter to Sergio Gor, White House personnel director.

Gor’s Friday email to the fired inspectors cited “changing priorities” as a reason for the firings, according to the letter, reported by Politico.

“At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General,” said Council Chair Hannibal Ware, suggesting Gor consult with the White House counsel.

Congress gave the FBI director the same kind of protection from politically motivated firings by giving the position a 10 year term only to be ended early for cause.

Anyone waiting for authoritarian governance to arrive need not wait any longer, it already has.

 

[Clipper]

The cult TDS gives me something to look forward to every day.

Today it is.

TRUMP IS TRYING TO GET THE USA OUT OF ITS 36 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT AND ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY GOVERNMENT JOBS!!!

ORANGE MAN BAD!

They're not unnecessary jobs. They're there to root out corruption, abuse etc, ColonelAnus. That's what scares the beegesus out of the orange felon & why that gangster wants to get rid of them.
