TRUMP: Why fire inspector generals?

| May 18, 2025 1:00 AM

Why does a president fire “Inspector Generals;” especially an IG for the departments of Defense, Interior and the VA Administration? Plus several others. They are independent and prevent and detect fraud, waste and abuse in those departments.

Why does a president give “amnesty” to 1,500 followers for attacking the Capitol? This included the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, plus others. Five people lost their lives plus danger to Congress members and the Vice President (“hang Mike Pence”).

Why does the president fire “FBI” agents working on the case; just doing their job investigating the attack on the Capitol. For those that were involved in the attack on the Capitol. This is America, why would anyone think of doing such a thing if not told by the president to “fight like hell.” Now, they want to cut over $500 million from the FBI?

Inspector Generals are confirmed by the Senate! So, how are the new IG’s going to respond to what is going on now? Remember when Trump said to Russia “if you’re listening, look into Hillary Clinton’s emails?” Nothing was found that showed any wrongdoing. We don’t need a president that does not follow the laws of the “Constitution” of America! Now, Judges are being threatened? What’s happening?
