On Tuesday night, Real Clear Politics’ Susan Crabtree reported her sources have confirmed that President Trump is firing seven inspectors general “in one fell swoop.” She believes the group will include IGs who were appointed by either President Obama or a previous administration. She wrote that the President “wants his own people in those positions now” and noted that, during his briefing on Tuesday afternoon, he said he had “put in seven names.” [Tweet]
Crabtree indicated this group includes Intelligence Community IG Michael Atkinson, who received the whistleblower complaint last August. After the acting DNI, the general counsel of the DNI and the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel

Can he get rid of Fauci and Birx at the same time? Get rid or all of them.

Actually, I am very sorry to see this. Not the President's action, but that it was needed. I had hoped there were some people at such a high level of impartial inspection that party affiliation didn't meant nothing. I was disappointed yet again by the persons posing as or governors.

YEEEHHHAAA!! Looks like he has a really big Broom and knows how to use it. It took a while for him to figure out if he's going to get anything done, he is going to have to have Real Conservatives in his Administration. Looks like he's looking ahead to the next four years! Made my day!!

Trump know that he has to dump all those Obama holdovers, who are just waiting for a wink and a nod from Democrat operatives to stab him in the back with more bogus whistleblower complaints.

If there's a DJT failing, it's trusting everyone. It's been almost 4 years.

Fire them all and start over. With outside the beltway folks.
In the lyrics of Alice Cooper:
I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me and I'm getting real shot down
And I'm feeling mean
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me and I'm getting real shot down
And I'm, I'm gettin' mean
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene
My dog bit me on leg today
My cat clawed my eyes (clawed my eye)
Mom's been thrown out of the social circle
And dad has to hide
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smithy
He recognized me
And punched me in the nose
He said no more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
He said you're sick, you're obscene
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice guy
He said you're sick, you're obscene

IF I were Pres, I would do that with all prior admin appointments the first day...and that would include all civil service stooges that were hired by the prior appointees (easy, delete their positions, they are GONE).
Drain the Swamp, Hades, I'd drain the entire Ocean!

One thing about working for the president...You wont need a retirement plan. I don't think I would sign a lease or even get the phone hooked up either.

#3 - The writing is on the wall. Trump did say WHO was so wrong and needs to be held accountable. When the dust settles on COVID results in USA, the numbers being predicted by Fauci and Birx and used to halt the economy will not be any where near what actually occurred. "Hold my pouch", as the new saying goes. They will be sacked.

They don't have subpoena power, they cannot interview anyone who has left their job, they only make recommendations. Now give Birx & Fauci a new job in Siberia. I've actually heard people say they will not give $$ to the RNC until Birx & Fauci are gone....they are extremely depressing.

Getting rid of these saboteurs is good but there are many government criminals that need to be charged and tried in court or nothing really changes.

Love Trumps timing. He is gutting th Swamps most effective insider postions and doing it when the Kneepad is so absorbed swallowing Como's vile platitudes. And the usual blame Trump Kneepad mantra is on the back burner. The Kneepads are so focused on the Get Trump on Covid that they will miss the real leadership decisions that affect the goobernment.

IGs are in a unique and powerful position to protect the Deep State from any inquiries into their corruption and treason. Outside-of-agency investigators and prosecutors should be employed to pursue Deep State corruption. IGs are smokescreens.

About time!! Congressional leftists will likely make a stink, but this needs to be done now and, IMHO, should have been done in January 2017.
