Trump Retaliates Against Another Figure from Impeachment
This time he has fired the Inspector General of the intelligence community who made sure the whistleblower’s complaint made it to Congress.
President Donald Trump has fired Michael Atkinson, the Intelligence Community Inspector General, who brought forward the whistleblower complaint in light of President Donald Trump’s Ukraine call which led to the impeachment proceedings.
The news comes late Friday night, in a letter obtained by CNN, which states Atkinson is set to be booted in 30 days from his post.
It’s nothing new. Just the same old corruption. How I long for him to be gone already.
I don’t even want to hear from the people who think this is just great. No comments. Have a nice weekend.
UPDATE: University of Texas law professor Steve Vladeck:
And not for nothing, but waiting until 10 p.m. on a Friday night in the middle of an unrelated national emergency so that the move wouldn’t receive as much attention is the act of a coward. https://t.co/bLANaPZnzR
