Trump's firing of Inspector Generals and Trump's coverups.

Where is the accountability?

Remember the Friday night massacres?

THREAD

1) Intelligence Community Inspector General

Michael Atkinson.

Reason Trump fired him: Atkinson was fired because he passed a whistle-blower complaint to Congress.

This whistle-blower complaint led to Trump’s impeachment.

See: 2020

2) Acting Defense Department IG

Glenn Fine

Reason Trump fired him: So Fine would not be able to be chair of a Pandemic Response Accountability Committee to monitor how the $2 trillion coronavirus package to fight the pandemic’s effects were spent.

See : #PPEGate & #PPPscam.

3) State Department Inspector General

Steve Linick

Reason Trump fired him: Linick was investigating Pompeo and how the State Department pushed through a $7 billion Saudi arms deal over congressional objections.
