I hope he is also removed from the CIA and his off-shore accounts are seized.

Good, but this is like throwing a pebble into the Atlantic ocean. It won’t be noticed much.

IIRC, Atkinson bent the normal rule on ‘whistleblower’ to create the subsequent mess, which led to Congress impeachment inquiry turned impeachment of president Trump.

No wonder Trump lost confidence in this IG.

However the Ukraine mess did not /could not compare to the Russian Collusion hoax. I have yet to see anybody pay a price for it.

This is the guy who changed the whistleblower form to allow hearsay. For that he ought to have all of his credentials removed.

“... received a complaint from an individual....”

and we know who the individual is. That individual is a well-known anti-Trump activist and should never have been classified as a “whistleblower.”

Whoever recommended Atkinson to the President for the appointment may need to go.

“The first guy to know after Trump and a flunky is the IT guy who locks accounts and shuts off crackberries.”

As a former IT guy and Network Admin I can tell you most people would be shocked at the kind of access IT people have to everyone’s info. To do their jobs these folks need to be able to access everyone’s home directories, shared directories, e-mail etc. Otherwise really smart people think nothing of putting all kinds of stuff in those places. If an enterprise was out to eliminate someone a deep dive could probably find “something” deemed inappropriate by some standard. Could be something as small as an attachment you opened in 2016 because nothing ever dies in the network. It may sitting in a backup tape archive but it’s there.

I thought they were both frog-marched out.

Deep State operatives need to be treated like the Wuhan virus.

Spray them head to foot with bleach.

All excellent ideas, SecAmndmmt-!

Wait 'til we see how long it takes them to get the unemployment rate down to anywhere near under 10% again.

Yes .... just another ugly example of how ill our nation remains.

There seems no real turning around. Congresscritters stay in their positions forever, they almost all steal to keep their jobs.......... and we are the victims.

It is not changing at all.

I’m watching Pres. Trump’s daily coronavirus news conference. A reporter just asked “Wasn’t Atkinson just doing his job?” (paraphrasing).

Yes, that's the dem/Chinese/media talking point. (I include China because the dems and media here are doing just what China wants)

Leftists all over the 'news,' twitter and most of the www are using that smear of Trump.

Yes he was doing his job.

But his job, because his handlers are the Deep State/Soros/Pelosi/Schumer et al, is and was to bring Trump down in any way possible.

Even if it means millions of Americans die.

The media are in lockstep with those that want to destroy our Constitutional Republic.
