"“Although he failed to fully evaluate the State Department’s role in advancing the debunked Russian collusion investigation, those shortcomings do not waive the President’s responsibility to provide details to Congress when removing an IG."

The deep state coup attempt is obviously no big deal to rino grassley.

“Although he failed to fully evaluate the State Department’s role in advancing the debunked Russian collusion investigation, those shortcomings do not waive the President’s responsibility to provide details to Congress when removing an IG. As I’ve said before, Congress requires written reasons justifying an IG’s removal. A general lack of confidence simply is not sufficient detail to satisfy Congress.”

The American People demand a written justification from the Senate as to why you, Senator Grassley, are abetting a (previous) US President from spying on multiple American citizens in advance of a political agenda and to bring down a duly elected US President. Are you complicit in sedition?

Did the earlier one step down when bush left office or did Obama fire him?

I know that Obama left the position open until Hillary was out of office.

Imma going to say this just once, Chuck. The President don't need to give no steenking explanations to nobody.
All executive power is vested in the president. He can sack whoever he wants to in the executive department.

I vaguely remember Obama firing dozens of Inspectors General and/or whistle-blowers, but I may be wrong.

Bullshitz, he serves at the Potus’ discretion. There’s 3 branches of government. You better study a little. Trump can fire all of them, if he gets a woody. I wish he would. Don’t vote for him I intend to vote at least twice.

Funny how people like Grassley are such sticklers for the rules when it’s a Republican president.

That is duly noted Chuck.

The Senate gets to hire folks.
The President gets to fire folks.

The President has the stronger power
