Dismissals at Justice Dept. Would Bypass Civil Service and Whistle-Blower Laws​

The Justice Department is accelerating its efforts to undo decades of civil service protections intended to insulate the work of law enforcement officials from political interference, according to current and former officials, ramping up a wave of firings in recent days.

A new batch of more than 20 career employees at the department and its component agencies were fired on Friday, including the attorney general’s own ethics adviser, Joseph W. Tirrell. Others who were dismissed included a handful of senior officials at the U.S. Marshals Service, as well as prosecutors and support staff who once worked for Jack Smith when he was a special counsel prosecuting Donald J. Trump.

On the surface, the various groups have little in common. Justice Department veterans, however, see an overarching pattern: a quickening effort by the Trump administration to ignore and eventually demolish longstanding civil service legal precedents meant to keep politics out of law enforcement work, and to give more leeway to the president’s loyalists.

The latest round of dismissals appears to have picked up steam after the Supreme Court last week allowed, for the time being, the administration to go forward with mass layoffs of federal workers. The decision gave the president more legal leeway to fire people en masse, at least for now.

It's a reoccuring theme. The attempt to expand power. In this case in order to avoid accountability for unethical/illegal acts in pursuit of a corrupt agenda.

The recurring theme is democrats are in a panic over their forever government jobs shielding them from accountability.

Tulsi is making claims about the intel agency's findings, Mueller's findings, and the findings of the Senate Intel Comm. that are lies.

Tulsi has the documents to back up what she is saying... now the American people will see how corrupt Obama was and still is... his influence is toast at least and could be prosecuted if America is still a just nation and a nation of laws...

You understand the reason they are there, right? To provide a check on presidential power. To make sure things are being done legally and in the interests of the country, not the regime. Which is exactly why trump wanted them gone.

That's a lie.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed President Trump to fire the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, a five-member group that monitors the safety of items like toys, cribs and electronics.

The court’s brief order was unsigned, which is typical when the justices act on emergency applications, though the court’s three liberal justices dissented. The order cited as its reasoning a previous decision involving the leaders of two other independent agencies, who the court ruled in May could be removed by Mr. Trump in a similar fashion, at least temporarily.

The order is not the last word in the case, which is pending in an appeals court and may return to the justices.

There is no legal rationale for allowing Dotard to fire those folks so the ruling goes unsigned and unexplained.

You know nothing of how this country and its government is organized. IG's are there to provide oversight over the executive branch. Loosen your turban. It's cutting off the circulation to your unusually small brain.
