Stay up to date on the developing stories making headlines.has fired the State Department’s inspector general, an Obama administration appointee whose office was critical of alleged political bias in the agency’s management. The ouster is the latest in a series of moves against independent executive branch watchdogs who have found fault with the Trump administration.
“This firing is the outrageous act of a president trying to protect one of his most loyal supporters, the secretary of state, from accountability,” Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said in a statement. “I have learned that the Office of the Inspector General had opened an investigation into Secretary Pompeo. Mr. Linick’s firing amid such a probe strongly suggests that this is an unlawful act of retaliation.”
"The president must cease his pattern of reprisal and retaliation against the public servants who are working to keep Americans safe, particularly during this time of global emergency.”
We deserve better than this presidency.
Another midnight firing
Total Bullshit
Is 'critical of Pres. Trump' code for treasonous POS who basically worked for Iran and tried to pass off a comic book as a basis for using the most powerful surveillance weapon in the world against a presidential candidate AND a sitting president? Coup FakeNews
Cannot be critical to dear leader, are we still a republic or dictatorship?
GOOD!! Oversight does not include their droll, biased, liberal zealot opinions! They RAN for no office. NO ONE elected them to anything. They are career trolls, rats in the swamp that think they know what's best for America! They work for the President! He doesn't work for them!
It's a slow-motion Saturday massacre. He fired all the watchdogs,one by one with some breaks between those fired. Now he is returning all those criminals who helped him cheat in the 2016 elections to help him prepare the theft plan in the 2020 elections because no chance to win.
And still supposed good people DO nothing. Don't you cry when the day comes you awake to king donny.
An action that epitomizes the republican fear of truth or disagreement or difference of opinion. How much longer must we suffer this buffoon-in-chief?!?
Not yet. Americans have 30 days to make their displeasure known.
Please talk to waltshaub . He says you’re making a mistake by reporting that he’s been fired.
Are you saying no other President (or his advisors ) have removed someone from a post? This is only news because you don't like Trump. Boring.
Maybe because of this?
Medal of honour to be fired by Trump.
I cannot wait to see white tears again when President Trump wins reelection.
Power move. Glad to see these democrat hippy lunatics get the boot. Much deserved and they should be prosecuted for treason
Drain the swamp
Cleaning out the swamp
Pompeo or Barr both Trump’s “Ass Lickers “ They will become the “Most Disgraced “ Appointees of the Trump Administration ! History will not be kind to All Involved to Trump ! The USA UNDER TRUMP HAS BECOME THE MOST INSANE GOVERNMENT IN OUR LIFETIME !
This just gets more and more hilarious. So predictable. I'm trying to find out just how many employees are left on Trump's payroll. Most have been fired. And, per usual, Trump the coward gets his sycophants to do HIS dirty work.
Good!!
Oh gee, what a surprise!!!!!! He gets closer to a dictator every day
Why wasn't this idiot fired 3 years ago? He was a Obama's holdover and everyone knew he would work against the president !
Good
And also was investigating misconduct by Pompeo himself
Good
Not just critical of Trump apparently 👇🏻
Drain the swamp.
Good. It was about his mishandling of classified information.
This shit is bonkers
This is just one more example of President Donald Trump's administration support of keeping America great... again.
Typical pattern. Speak out against our dear Marshall Trump and you get fired.
VOTE!
Smell a rat yet?
Drain that swamp! 😂😂😂
'critical of Pres. Trump moves.' is irrelevant, seed planting manipulators
All resistance is futile.
Republicans always wine about things being fair and balanced but not a single person critical of Trump is allowed to work for him.
If you don't think Trump is paving the way for Russia to hack this election, as easily as they did the last time, you just aren't paying attention
Mother Russia sits back and laughs VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
At this rate, I'm surprised Trump has any staff remaining 🤔
