Leading House Democrats demanded Thursday that fired State Department Inspector General Steve Linick be reinstated, and that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo turn over a tranche of new documents related to the firing.
Is there an official/legal way in which the House can nullify Trump’s firing of Linick? Trump just keeps expanding his dictatorial commands without any solid legal resistance. That needs to change . . . and we cannot wait until November, much less January.
Yeah, good luck with that. Pardon me if I don’t hold my breath …
I don’t think Putin will allow that.
We need a serious, comprehensive effort to “future-Trump-proof” the federal government once the Democrats are back in charge, so this sort of corrupt, renegade administration can NEVER happen again.
Is anybody else going to watch the president at the Ford plant in about 10 minutes?
“This environment could severely chill whistleblower disclosures to the Office of Inspector General because whistleblowers might fear that their identity could become known to an official still reporting to you.”
Chiselin’ Trump and Pompeo, in unison: “Correct. And that’s exactly the way we want it.”
Who else in his cabinet is thinking “why didn’t I think of that?” I was originally thinking Dr. Carson because of the dining table for his office scandal. But then, I thought why single him out, because I bet you that more then one of them has done similar. Thinking of the use of certain branded facilities on the government’s (our) dime.
No. But, updates would be nice.
I could have sworn I read “House calls for
Articles of Impeachment.”
His ratings would really go through the roof if he plotzed on the assembly line.
House Dems Call For IG Reinstatement, Demand Pompeo Docs
Man, those Democrats are slow learners, how many times the Supreme Court has to tell them that the Administration doesn’t need to provide shit as long as it’s run by republicans?
I bet a big strong autoworker, big guy, union guy, will approach him with tears in his eyes and say “Sir! We’re so glad you got us our jobs back!”
I just want to see if he’s wearing a mask or not.
He’s 15 minutes late now, but with a tour and other people to consider, that’s not too bad.
I wonder how he does a tour and then a rally/speech without stepping into a bathroom for a quick snort.
He’s late because he’s still taking part of the “listening session” with African American leaders. He actually just said that he’ll “take some questions from the Fake News”
He pretends to listen while sorting out belittling ways to rephrase their names if called on to answer.
It’s an area of expertise in which he prides himself.
One of his few.
And you would tell the Democrats, just 253 in number in the House plus a minority in the senate who have no voice, to do what exactly? We’re struck with PP and his corrupt cabinet for a little while longer, but it’s how he got to be prez that we should never forget: DEMOCRATS DIDN’T TURN OUT TO VOTE.
Paint drying, dryer lint removal, navel gazing all higher on my list.
