Trump fires Linick - appoints Pence lackey. Will Pompeo probe continue ?

Steve Linick: State Department official investigating Pompeo is fired

Latest move against independent executive branch watchdogs who have found fault with Trump administration

www.theguardian.com

Linick is not the first inspector general to be fired late on a Friday night. On 3 April this year Trump dismissed the intelligence community inspector general, Michael Atkinson, who had first deemed credible a whistleblower complaint expressing concern about Trump’s call last summer to his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, which ultimately triggered impeachment proceedings against the president.

On 1 May Trump dismissed the principal deputy inspector general at the department of health and human services, Christi Grimm, who had published a report about shortage of medical supplies at hospitals around the country in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

More banana republic politics. No doubt his sycophantic fan base will cheer like crazy. The braying of a jackass chorus will drown out the thoughts of those patriotic Americans and the US gets dragged further into the gutter.

Trump Fires State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, Leftists Meltdown. There’s More To The Story. | The Daily Wire

www.dailywire.com

Daily Caller News Foundation reported:

Two sources familiar with Linick’s ouster told the DCNF that while they were not certain of the precise reason that the watchdog was fired, he was under investigation last year by the Department of Defense’s inspector general for mishandling sensitive material.
The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Linick attempted to play a role in the impeachment of President Donald Trump last year by approaching Congress with information that he appeared to think was relevant—it was not.

Roll Call reported that lawmakers said that Linick delivered a dossier to them of unknown origins that was essentially filled with conspiracy theories.

Political strategist Arthur Schwartz responded to the news by writing on Twitter, “Good riddance. This guy was the Peter Strzok of the State Department.”

It is unwise to countermand an executive order, sir. It's so unwise you could lose your job.

Another Obama lackey who should have been fired Trump's first day in office.

Yes he is getting more fascist as days go by.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

All these people Trump has been firing have been Obama appointments. That means Obama must have replaced Bush or someone else's appointments with these dweebs. But I don't recall the uproar for him doing that. Double standard? In the end, this is a good illustration of our government being far too big. There are a lot of snakes in the grass hiding among the hoards of our overcrowded government.

Nope. It's a sign of an administration finally clearing out the enemy houseplants of the previous.

That was the easiest prediction to make. Just the depths of imbecility and mendacity they'd reach in their subservience to the Dear Leader, wasn't.

Just kidding, that was also well known in advance.

Moron...the only ones using the state to supress the opposition was obama using the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and the State Department to spy on Trump and his people....you doofus......

Name one thing Trump has done that has actually been fascist.......come on, we will wait.....

Meanwhile.....explain the actions of the democrat governors and mayors and their actual fascist actions.....

Yes, thanks, Nostradamus. It's easy to make these predictions just as firing State Department obstructionist
and Obamaaaa loyalist Steve Linick was easy to predict.
It's what presidents do when they consolidate their position, just as Obama did when he removed all his predecessors appointments.
'The question is what took Trump so long.

You are quite the braying jackass yourself.

Preet Bharara 'Fired': A Phony Scandal Created by an Obama Appointee

It should come as no surprise that an Obama political appointee (with the cooperation of the media) would try to create a phony scandal out of a routine event. With every new administration, the incoming president asks all U.S. attorneys appointed by the prior administration to resign. After...

www.heritage.org

This is a common practice, getting rid of dead wood appointed by the preceding administration, that ALL
presidents practice, even the great Obamaaa.
He fired and replaced ALL Bush people when he took over.
It's only hypocritical and whiny leftists that seem to cry crocodile tears when this happens.

I would double your diaper rash medication.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Even Democrats, who were chomping at the bit to impeach and remove the president, said that Linick was unhelpful.

“It raises more questions than it answers. The inspector general had no idea where it came from,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said. “There’s nothing in here that I think is directly relevant to the president’s impeachable conduct.” Trump Fires State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, Leftists Meltdown. There’s More To The Story.

And I defend Obama's decision to do that....he knew that he was bringing a radical agenda and also knew that he would run into interference with the Bush holdovers.....It was his right to set up his administration to accomplish his goals.....I didn't agree with his goals....but I defend his right to hire his own people......it just makes too much sense to criticize it. I'm guessing it was Axelrod who made that call.....the best Presidential Advisor that ever occupied that position in DC bar none....he was a lunatic lefty but he was one hell of a sharp blade when it came to making the moves. Best ever IMO.

Of course it won't. That's the whole reason why he was removed.

Which is illegal BTW.
