Top congressional Democrats on Tuesday accused the Department of Homeland Security’s Trump-appointed inspector general of stonewalling their efforts at accountability, and revealed a letter, sent last week, in which he refused to cooperate with their demands.
Just subpoena the bitch already, then make the criminal referral. Sending scathing letters back and forth is playing pattycake.
“I dare you to fire me.”
The churn factor once again. Keep the ball in play. Well more like a balloon being bounced across that field, drifting back again to be pummeled once more. But by gawd keep that balloon in the air so no one can get a good look at it.
Trumpers make me sick.
Trapped behind enemy lines, Corporal Cuffari continues a doomed one-man guerilla war.
Doomed? What price is he going to pay between now and the end of next year?
NONE.
Can he be fired? Who has that authority? What do you think the upshot would be?
What was it Trump said about the “Deep State”?
I believe he can be fired for cause. And it would seem to me there is plenty.
ETA
The president may dismiss an inspector general, but is required to give Congress 30 days’ notice and an explanation of the reason for removing them.
I must have missed this one. I hope he knows that these bulky men in dark suits do not have a sense of humor.
I got a feeling Navarro may try an insanity plea…
Ffs. I do believe Biden has the authority to fire him—and certainly cause, given his FU response here. More nauseating stench of Trump corruption.
Maybe you don’t fire Cuffari so you can really punish him. Once he is out of office maybe you can’t nail him as hard?
Not only should he recuse himself, we should get rid of the whole department.
DHS was birthed in the hysteria of 9/11 and we now know our bigger threat is from within.
He’s double daring us to do something about it. I’d take that dare in a New York minute.
“His claims are meritless.” heh heh
I’m not sure. I guess while still an employee he might be entitled to tax-payer funded legal defense, so the opposite might apply. Maybe the idea is to leave him in place until he unequivocally lies to congress, then hammer him.
I recall Trump is fond of nicknames. How about Joseph “Cuffed & Stuffed” Cuffari?
And I’m sure Congress can waive the 30 days notice.
Get this motherfucker out of there yesterday.
