Is there an end game to all the illegal firings?

Hey dumbass, you were wrong again

From the article:





Weintraub's six-year term expired in April 2007, but according to FEC rules, that didn't mean she had to leave the commission.

"Commissioners serving expired terms may choose to remain until they are replaced," FEC rules state. The president appoints FEC commissioners, who must then be confirmed by the Senate. However, there is no written provision or language that limits if a president can replace an FEC commissioner before a replacement is appointed.

Weintraub told CBS News that access to her FEC email, computer and cellphone stopped on Friday. She is now listed as a past commissioner on the FEC website.
Sally you ignorant slut… the President cannot fire anyone on the FEC Board

Once their term is expired he can nominate a successor but until he does that and that nominee is confirmed by Congress… they remain
He has not done so

HER TERM EXPIRED IN 2007
 
Here's another to add to the growing list.

Democratic FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub says Trump fired her. She says it's not legal.

Ellen Weintraub, the current Federal Election Commission Chair and one of three Democratic members on the committee, posted a letter on X Thursday night from President Trump that says she has been removed as an FEC member.

The brief letter, dated January 31, 2025, reads, "You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission."

On Thursday night, Weintraub alleged her firing was not legal.

"There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it," she wrote in her social media post. "I've been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon."


I just watched her be interviewed about the "firing." She notes the legal way to remove a FEC board member is to replace him or her after their term has expired. In its 50 year history no prez has tried to illegally fired a board member as trump has.

Weintraub's is not the only example of a government official being illegally fired. The list is actually quite long. In most instances they aren't really close calls. The legislative acts creating the agencies established the ways in which members cab be removed. trump is not following those procedures.

So, the end game is..........? I would say trump is attempting to take over all government functions by installing loyalists in all the key positions, while removing anyone who might object to his agenda. The FEC is primarily the agency monitoring campaign contributions. The motivation for having friendly board members seems clear enough. Its mandate calls for the 6 member board to have 3 Repubs and 3 Dems with a D and R rotating as chairman each year. It's designed to be apolitical and therefore is antithetical to Don's desire to politicize everything. Should he get away with it just because he won an election?

The rules governing the replacement of FEC board members has not been a problem for 50 years. They wouldn't be a problem now if trump followed them.
Trump is following the rules.
He has the right to choose the chair of the FEC board.
Her term ended in 2007.
She has no right to stay in her position.



 
SO.

FREAKING.

WHAT.
Take solace in knowing you aren't the first trumple to admit you have absolutely no problem with trump's illegal behavior. I guess that should have been obvious by your support of him even though he has broken state and federal statutes with abandon.
 
That's just a silly lie from a silly boy.
Yeah....facts don't matter to some.

I followed the links the story provided.....and it shows that she has no right to complain. But this is a pattern we've seen from all of these Democrats who think they're untouchable.

They must figure that everyone won't do a background check of the facts.

They start bellowing that Trump is breaking the law.....only to discover that he's not.

The links and text show what trump did is illegal. Grow up.
 
ENTITLED arrogant government workers are getting fired and they don't like it? Meh.
