t ,....and the republicans said nothing , NOTHING

t fired 17 inspector generals across numerous agencies. IG’s are the people who look for fraud. Republicans LIKE what is essentially removing bank guards from banks. Democrats need to throw this back in their face, often.

I served for 25 years with an IG (DHHS). They are essential to promoting a degree of independent oversight and insuring the integrity of departmental programs. Not only have they essentially neutered the IGs, but also any other governmental entities that monitor ethics and corruption by political appointees.
