The media and other Democrats are having a collective cow because supposedly independent inspectors general have been canned.
According to USA Today:
President Donald Trump fired over a dozen inspectors general across federal agencies late Friday night, one of the fired officials confirmed to USA TODAY.
As many as 17 were let go without notice by email, despite federal law requiring 30 days notice to Congress to remove an inspector general. The inspectors general are independent watchdogs within agencies who investigate and disclose waste, fraud and abuse.
Where is the independence in D.C?Here are some of the agencies in D.C. that are supposedly independent.
Start with the FCC, FEC, SEC, FDIC, NLRB, IRS, Justice Department, SBA, FBI, CFPB, EPA, Federal Reserve, EEOC, etc.
These agencies are all supposedly independent, yet they all fell in line on DEI, and climate change and anything else. They did exactly what they were told.
The purpose of an I.G.'s office is good. They are supposed to be independent and root out waste, abuse, and fraud.
So where are the results?
I see none. There is massive fraud, waste, and abuse throughout government but where are the reports of what the I.G.s have achieved? I see none. Federal spending has gone up from $4.4 trillion in fiscal 2019 to around $7 trillion today. It's up over 50% in five years, so where are the reports from the I.G.s on waste?
The reason the Founding Fathers gave the media such power in the First Amendment was to hold the powerful to account. It was good.
They would be turning over in their graves today if they could see what is happening. They are as useful to America as the I.G.s have been.
~Snip~
What we have are I.G.s, journalists, and others who are willing to push the radical Democrat agenda no matter how many lies they have to tell and no matter how many people they have to destroy in the process.
Indoctrination is dangerous and the media and other Democrats are working hard to indoctrinate instead of educate. They don't care how much destruction they cause as long as Democrats are in power. Results and facts haven't mattered for a long time.
Commentary:
Kudo's to Jack on an excellent opinion piece.
Draining the swamp in 4 years is a monumental task, Beginning with the replacing the I.G's is a good step.
We have see n that even the Media has taken a step back from their bias
All the Department of the Government are part of the Executive Branch and the President alone has the power to dismiss people., yet Congress demands 30 days notice.as a an attempt by Congress to usurp the power of the President.
