President Donald Trump dismissed 17 independent inspectors general from various federal agencies, including Defense, State, Energy, and Housing and Urban Development, in a move that some observers have called a “massacre.”
The firings, announced via email, bypassed the 30-day congressional notification required by law, raising questions about legality.
Inspectors general are tasked with investigating government waste and misconduct, operating independently across administrations. The firings are seen by some as part of Trump’s broader effort to consolidate power and replace independent officials with loyalists. The White House has not commented on the matter.
Yes because they have been doing such a great job……
When you look at the levels of corruption in the US political system, which can only be described as stratospheric, I’m amazed this has not happened sooner…..
This is what swamp draining looks like.
