KeithOlbermann Will they be repaying American taxpayers for the illegal salaries they've been collecting?

Goodbye, Chad!

KeithOlbermann

What's new? The administration is in violation. Look at what these two are specifically doing?! It's awful

Make them pay back their salaries.

How does this frigging happen? They ordered the beatings and kidnapping of protesters and they never had the authority in the first place. So disgusted. What the hell is the purpose of having a government when no one does their job?!!!

Oh please, we all know that is an opinion and not a legal response

So when exactly are they kicked out, and by whom?

Trump’s secret police installed illegally.
