IG fired, while Pil-low-see sticks her big witch nose in again....

The Senate Homeland Security Committee chairman Ron Johnson said the decision was well within the president’s right.

UPDATED 11:12 AM PT — Monday, May 18, 2020
Republicans are defending President Trump’s decision to let Inspector General Steve Linick go. This comes as the Dim-Moe-Rats claim the State Department watchdog may have been investigating potential misconduct by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo prior to the firing. (the never ending Witch hunt continues unabated)

According to (the partisan Dim-Moe-Rats) House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Elliot Engel, Linick was investigating Pompeo’s decision to fast-track an $8 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia. The inspector general was also reportedly looking into whether Pompeo had a staffer run personal errands for him.

The always partisan Dim-Moe-rats have said the Secretary of State recommended the President fire Linick. The (always partisan Dim-Moe-Rat) House Foreign Relations Committee and (their partisan Dim-Moe-Rat) colleagues in the Senate launched yet another official probe into the matter on Saturday.

President Trump sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pil-low-see last Friday stating that he would exercise his power as president to remove Linick The president noted that inspector generals have a vital role in promoting the nation’s economy and effectiveness of federal programs, but that he does not have full confidence in Linick.

“There are inspector generals that bring a political agenda as well as those that do a phenomenal job,” he stated. “So they’re not all equal, but in the end they serve at the pleasure of the President and he’s got the authority to hire and terminate.”

Johnson said he’s spoken with senior officials in the State Department and he understands their reasoning for the decision.

However, Nancy Pil-low-see believes that she can subvert any proper executive decision that's made by Trump, while she has full rein and the prerogative to protect her crew of corrupt political operatives and any fake partisan whistle-blower.

Team Obama’s Unmasking Dodge

“The media are mostly ignoring the news that 39 Obama officials sought to read the transcripts of Michael Flynn’s conversations with foreigners, but here and there they’ve asked a question. The unpersuasive answers suggest there’s more to learn,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.

The left’s assumption seems to be that “it’s OK to eavesdrop on your political opponents if you’re curious about their conversations with foreigners. We doubt that justification would have played well had the George W. Bush Administration spied on Barack Obama’s incoming team.”

“Let’s be clear: A crime was committed in the Michael Flynn case. But that crime was committed not by the retired general, but by someone who leaked the classified details of his conversations with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak,” American Enterprise Institute Resident Fellow Marc Thiessen writes in The Washington Post.

“This year, as the deadly COVID-19 pandemic continues to sweep through our country, Police Week went virtual in order to mitigate the risk of further spread. The fact that we couldn’t be together physically was an important reminder for Americans to pay thanks to the men and women who wear the uniform each day, risking their own health and safety to protect our communities,” Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf writes for Fox News.

Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue visited a Maryland food wholesaler on Friday to launch a $3 billion “Farmers to Families Food Box” program. This effort, part of President Trump’s $2.2 trillion Coronavirus relief package, ensures that certain distributors allocate food from small farms to nonprofits and faith-based groups, Audrey Conklin reports for Fox Business.

More Pub hypocrisy.



When White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows first joined Congress in 2013, he said he did not even know what inspectors general were. By the following year, though, he fashioned himself as their fierce defender, accusing the Obama administration of undermining them.

“Under this Administration, inspectors general have encountered unprecedented hindrance to their oversight efforts,” Meadows said in 2014 while pitching a bill to empower them. “This important legislation will ensure that IGs, who provide impartial insight into the conduct and management of federal agencies, will not be politically stonewalled.”

Meadows became White House chief of staff seven weeks ago. In that time, President Trump has controversially replaced five inspectors general. Three of the removals carry readily apparent retaliatory motivations, while the other two had been named to a committee tasked with oversight of the coronavirus response.

The guy fired was IG of SD...The IG of DOD filled a complaint on him for "mishandling" info. Now DOD and SD are often at cross purposes and SD is full of arabist and other less desirables when it comes to national interest/defense. DOD got him whacked. Pompeo is former military and was a member of the conservative constitutional caucus. He is now head of SD and probably at cross purposes with careerist in his own dept. SD needs a cleaning and it should start with arabists. Oh and to translate for the liberals and leftists, he was leaking sensitive if not classified info. Usually that is a crime. I will side with DOD over SD every time!
