Michael Atkinson, intelligence community watchdog fired by Trump, says he was just doing his job

Michael Atkinson broke his silence Sunday saying he's "disappointed and saddened" at President Trump's late-night decision just a day earlier to fire him from his watchdog post in the intelligence community.

"It is hard not to think that the president's loss of confidence in me derives from my having faithfully discharged my legal obligations as an independent and impartial inspector general, and from my commitment to continue to do so," Atkinson wrote in a two-page statement.

The watchdog had alerted Congress to concerns about a Trump phone call with the president of Ukraine – a matter that led to the president’s impeachment last year.

His job was just shilling for the deep state and Hillary, just as the MSM’s real job is getting people to believe lies.

I don’t know of anyone who would take a know political atvists and liars word for something that they admitted was at least second hand hearsay information and then was not certain what was said.

But then again, I am not deep state with the goal of an administrative coup against the president.

Good luck and I’m sure your puppet masters will find something for you to do that will make you a very wealthy man.

Clean out your desk and security will walk you to the door.

Yes, Michael Atkinson was “just doing his job” like Lois Lerner and thousands of other Deep Staters were just doing their jobs - CORRUPTLY!

HAH! The man is a lying piece of putrid meat. He changed the reporting form after Schiff was ‘consulted’, the fraudulent ‘whistleblower’ went to Schiff before he put in a report. The ICIG was an integral part of a coup attempt, using a blatant lie, which the ICIG did not reject AFTER the transcript of the call was made public. The man is a filthy liar!

BS, he broke the rules by accepting a “whistleblower report” not based on firsthand knowledge but instead based on unsupported hearsay. A report that turned out to be without basis.

He ignored complaints about the State Dept and NSC cases of People working to thwart the President of the United States.

What he blocked is as big as what he promoted.

He was doing his job as defined by his personal “deep state” activism.

There are simply too many leftists in government, folks. Leftists who want to control you and use the threat of government force to keep you in line.

This is all that these stay at home orders are about. They are about controlling people and slowly increasing the control lever so that one day we all wake up and we are literally living in a society as described in the book “1984”.
