It’s hard to take a man seriously who complains like this about his own employees that he has the authority to fire.
Maybe he just hopes that, this being systemic, this will be a warning shot across the bow.
Um, have you read Trump’s twitter feed of late?
Trump can fire political appointees with ease. Or not have hired them in the first place.
But Barr is a smooth criminal hack, talking a good game while doing exactly the opposite of good AGing.
Have you ever tried to fire a government union employee? It’s not that easy. You need 3 documented acts of malfeasance in a 6 month period, an action plan for employee correction, an opportunity for the employee to correct, documentation the employee did not correct, and even then you will spend years defending the firing in court (at great expense). More than likely the employee will be granted a settlement. Yes there are instances of egregious behavior that require immediate dismissal, but those are few and far between and you can count on it being fought in court.
