Yes, Trump Fires Another IG

[Ray From Cleveland]

When he gets up to 30, let us know. That way we'll be happier with the job he's doing.

Putin would be glad to see you wrote that since Trump is the means by which Vlad wants to take down our democracy. The thing you mock when you support Trump.

That's good that Russia thinks we have a democracy in this country. We are not a democracy, we are a republic. What Russia would love to see is a destruction of capitalism in this country and being flooded with illegals putting us in the direction to becoming a third-world country ourselves. He can't wait for the Democrats to take charge and greatly weakening our military like Hussein did.

Vlad doesn't like a strong United States, and Democrats are guaranteed to give him that if they ever get power again.

 

[eddiew]

crooks in our wh and scum that support them

House Democrats have discovered that the fired IG had mostly completed an investigation into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s widely criticized decision to skirt Congress with an emergency declaration to approve billions of dollars in arms sales to Saudi Arabia last year, aides on the Foreign Affairs Committee tell me.

The coup circle resist America Mongers all admit there is no Russia connection, and they created the hoax you keep spewing. Are you living under a rock not to know this gig was up and goose was cooked by now or just in serious denial?
Take off your tin foil hat Russia conspiracy suit, it's ok to live normal again, there is no Russians under your bed you damn Xenophobe.

So he should keep corrupt officials in office?

Trump and Pompeo are the ones who are corrupt.

Pompeo even lied about asking for Linick to be fired.

"Never heard of him. But they asked me to terminate him" -- Trump says he was asked to fire the State Department inspector general by Mike Pompeo. He then confused what he's talking about and says, "I did suggest in pretty much all cases you get rid of the attorney generals"

As Trump admits Pompeo asked him to fire State Dept. IG, some major news outlets ignore the story

Friday night dump. Another one fired. An Inspector General. Again.

He will be replaced by Ambassador Stephen Akard, who previously headed the State Department’s Office of Foreign Missions.

In recent months, Trump has fired several inspectors general, particularly those who have been involved in investigating misconduct accusations against his administration, sparking fears of retaliation.

"On Friday, Politico reported that Steve Linick, the inspector general of the State Department, has been fired.
Linick, a former official of the Justice Department, was appointed to the inspector general position by President Barack Obama in 2013. According to Politico, “he played a minor role in the House of Representatives’ impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, ferrying a trove of documents to lawmakers that had been provided to the State Department by Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer.”

The pathetic responses to how Trump fucks this country over is worse.

From YOUR article:

"Linick, a former official of the Justice Department, was appointed to the inspector general position by President Barack Obama in 2013"

That is my response to your pointless post, nothing illegal about the firing at all.

Trumphumpers get it one way. Pointless. I know what I posted.

Your reply is pointless, you still fail to make a case over it, I merely pointed out that there is nothing illegal about it, for your information, I didn't vote for Trump.

STFU. I could care less if it was illegal or not. It's how he goes after anyone who speaks their mind. Especially when true.

Ha ha ha, losing your cool over my reasonable comment.

It is clear that you have no point to make at all, just huff and puff against Trump anyway you can.

Don't you think to point out that Trump seems to systematically fires those who's job it is to hold him to account is a valid point?

Better than anyone who goes against a Clinton. They seem to commit suicide.

Suicide? Kinda like those who went against LBJ.

Another democrat?

The POS is up to 4 firings now WTF is happening to our country?? This low life POS thinks he's a king and anyone investigating him or his scum cabinet must be fired I pray you ah's get it back in spades

How many IGs did Barry fire?

Joe is Senile. Here is the plan. In Dem Minds,that is. Joe wins ,and then abdicates ,giving the Dems the first Woman president. Isn't that PC of them. I see several women qualified to be President. But they are all Repubs. Those screamin' Lib idiots on the Dem side are not fit to be Secretaries.

Mike is skillfully employing the art of deflection.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday lashed out at Democrats investigating him, particularly Sen. Bob Menendez, as he defended his recommendation to President Donald Trump to fire the State Department’s internal watchdog.

Pompeo has come under intense scrutiny since Trump followed through on his Cabinet official’s urging to fire Inspector General Steve Linick.

“This is all coming through the office of Senator Menendez,” Pompeo said at his first on-camera press briefing since Trump fired Linick on Friday night. “I don’t get my ethics guidance from a man who was criminally prosecuted,” he said of Menendez before abruptly ending the briefing.

Pompeo admits to answering questions in investigation as reporters ask him about IG firing

Inspector General Steve Linick was fired late Friday night at Pompeo's urging by Trump, who said in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he lost "confidence" in the watchdog without further explanation.
