Convicted felon attempts to cover up more crimes.

He should keep in mind that the immunity ruling from SCOTUS only covers official acts relating to his duties of the office. It does not cover any crimes not part of those official duties.

Exactly

This is a common liberal tactic

Delay upon delay

But 30 days will pass by very fast

So will 24 months when the Dems win back the House.

When funding dries up for everything Trump has put into place.

Dare to dream your delusional dream, skrewy.

Those IG's better their records are beyond spotless.

At a rate of "finding waste and fraud" at a total of less than .001% of the total federal spending, they're beyond useless.

Didn't you say something like this ^^^ prior to Nov. 5? I think you need another crystal ball.

 

[BluesLegend]

Calm yourselves Dem TDS'ers. There are 73 IG's, Trump only fired the 17 lazy do nothing hacks. If you are a lazy do nothing well you may get fired.

Why do leftists worship unelected bureaucrats? Is it a throwback to your worship of Soviet Union Party apparatchiks?

Why do you worship an uneducated plutocrat?!

 

[konradv]

They can sue for back pay, unless back pay is automatically given to them.

You damn sure aren't a lawyer...lol

There can be punitive damages.

 

[konradv]

What is unlawful about them?

Didn’t follow the law for dismissal. They’re civil servants, not political appointees. That was settled after Garfield was shot by a disappointed office seeker.

That “law” is facially constitutional.

Stand by.

This news is just breaking:

The fired IG’s are still fired.

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

The most the government can be on the hook for here is the 30 days notice.

They should consider President Trump's firing of them the notice to them as well as Congress.

That isn't how it works.

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.

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!

Yet, Trump has made no significant dent in the debt or deficit.

In 2022, Congress strengthened protections for inspectors general, making it harder to replace them with hand-picked officials and requiring additional explanations from a president for their removal.
