President Trump Fires 17 Inspectors General in Friday Night Purge

This is directly related to Bondi being delayed. In this X thread it is discussed that a new AG must wait 120 days to fire people. This makes since, so there isn't a purge every time admins change. However...

They found a LOOPHOLE to make this stick.

Federal regulations generally protect career employees from being reassigned for at least 120 days after new leadership takes over.

But Pam Bondi hasn't been confirmed yet. The firings come from the ACTING AG 🤯

And who is the interim AG? STOP THE STEAL organizer Ed Martin. The Acting AG is James R. McHenry III, who happens to be very aligned with Trump policy - especially on immigration. I'm thinking Garland was forced to resign early so this could happen.
