Trump Fires Inspector General

Good to see the Administration marches on despite a global pandemic. :dubious:

Trump notified Congress he’s fired Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who passed along the whistle-blower’s concern about the Ukraine shakedown that ultimately led to impeachment.

I guess we all wish we could turn the clock back to 2019.

I’m sure Susan Collins is shaking her head, her brow furrowed.

I know just the guy for the job. None other than Jared Kushner. He has been such an unbelievable, strong, powerful, tremendous success at this other jobs, this one should be a cinch.

I heard some talking head suggest that perhaps it’s not just revenge, and that Atkinson may have a bunch of ‘we told you so, and you did nothing’ information about COVID, and Trump is trying to stifle it.

Don’t see how it would do any good, but that’s Trumps ‘business’ model. Fuck people over so they can’t fight.

And going “tsk, tsk”.

Anything from keeping Atkinson from speaking freely? If Trump asserts Executive Privilege, can anyone be punished for speaking voluntarily anyway?

Oops. Double post.

I’m setting mine to 2016.

Maybe trump should have him cloned, then he could fill every Cabinet post AND any Supreme Court vacancies that come up.

How much more stuff can there be? He’s already been found out to have slashed all the reforms Obama did post Ebola.

No, that’s just how she looks normally.
