Trump uses mass firing to remove independent inspectors general at a series of agencies

[SiSePuede419]

So what?

These toothless beauracrats did nothing to stop him last time.

 

"Concerns were raised"

 

What a <deleted> joke. 😂

 

concerns were raised about foreign governments booking rooms or hosting events at Trump properties, potentially benefiting him financially.

That's right.

 

Most of the American political system is based on the "honor system"

 

It assumes that for the most part politicians are honorable people who want to do the right thing.

 

The system wasn't prepared for a person whose philosophy was to act dishonorably and then use the court system to protect him from accountability.

 

Do you have any idea how much Trump spends on legal fees every year to fight any accountability for his despicable dishonest and vulgar pussy grabbing actions? 😂

 

Determining the exact amount former President Donald Trump spends annually on legal fees is challenging, as such financial details are typically private and not publicly disclosed. However, several reports provide insights into the substantial legal expenses he has incurred over the years:

 

1. Campaign and Political Committees:

According to Federal Election Commission filings, Trump's campaign and associated political committees have allocated significant funds to legal expenses. For instance, in the first half of 2021, the "Save America" political action committee reportedly spent over $8 million on legal fees.

 

2. Personal Legal Battles:

Beyond political committees, Trump has faced numerous personal legal challenges, including investigations into his business practices, defamation lawsuits, and other civil cases. While exact figures are not publicly available, it's widely reported that these legal battles have resulted in millions of dollars in legal fees.

 

3. Legal Defense Funds:

To manage mounting legal costs, Trump has established legal defense funds and solicited donations from supporters. These funds are used to cover expenses related to various investigations and lawsuits.

 

It's important to note that these figures are estimates based on available public records and reports. The actual amounts may vary, and without access to comprehensive financial disclosures, providing a precise annual total is not feasible.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Everybody who wants democracy should support "independent inspectors".

If Trump can show that they didn't do their job, then obviously he should fire them.

And then he should make sure he hires new independent inspectors, and not just people who rubberstamp Trump's action.

Moving to the Political Soapbox forum. 

[Walker88]

Imitating their master by being willfully ignorant, MAGAs have no clue what the job of Inspector General is, and the LAW in place that outlines the procedure for dismissing them. Even Lindsey admitted the President broke the law, but Lindsey said "so what".

 

After Nixon, the IG positions were established to monitor activity in their agency, making sure proper rules and procedures are followed. For example, if an agency grants a contract to an outside firm, the IG checks it over to make sure there are no payments or sweetheart deals, with bloated contracts being handed to favored parties who offer kickbacks to agency managers.

 

Obviously that sort of thing gets in the way of how 47 wants to run government. If he cannot be corrupt---as courts have determined he has been in everything from running a charity, a fake university, dealing with banks and insurers---I guess he doesn't want the job.

Because most of them had been appointed by Trump?
