"The purported firings violated unambiguous federal statutes -- each enacted by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law by the President -- to protect Inspectors General from precisely this sort of interference with the discharge of their critical, non-partisan oversight duties," they said in the lawsuit."

That video in #1 is the best 5 mins on this entire subject I've seen... Rep Casar of Texas is a dynamic advocate for democracy, and his is a tour de force taking down every excuse the Republicans are making.

Which is mostly the Red Herring that 'someone needs to look into Gov waste', which is of course a distraction from the FACT that the guy doing it is getting 8 million dollars a day in Gov contracts.

Could be that if they wrestle actually doing their jobs the fraud waste and abuse that fell under them should have been found/Identified by them and rectified.

"Could be that if they wrestle [sic] actually doing their jobs the fraud waste and abuse that fell under them should have been found/Identified by them and rectified."

Could it be that you are just a hateful idiot regurgitating more of Trump's hateful lies? How about some evidence of all this alleged criminal activity. No? Just more lies and vague references to fraud waste and abuse?

The work of the inspectors general has led to more than 4,000 prosecutions and identified nearly $93.1bn in potential savings.

GFY ... the lies you are spreading border on treason.
