President Trump recently fired Intel Community IG Michael Atkinson and he’s reportedly gearing up to fire several more Deep State IGs in one fell swoop.
The IGs Trump is looking to fire were appointed by Barack Obama or beforehand.
“President Trump wants his own people in those positions now.”
Breaking: Trump is firing 7 IGs in one fell swoop, sources confirm to @RealClearNews. Most likely will be the IGs that were appointed by Pres. Obama or beforehand. He wants his own people in those positions now. Trump during his briefing said he has “put in 7 names” for IGs.

Real Clear Politics reporter Susan Crabtree said it could include Brian Miller, senior White House associate counsel, as special inspector general for pandemic recovery at the Treasury Department. Trump appointed Miller to the special IG post last Friday
Also — some of these are likely replacements for IGs who have been serving in only acting roles (not Senate confirmed )– but at least some of whom were first put in their position by Pres. Obama

I just read that Reagan fired ALL the IGs on his first day in office.
We had better hope so.
Of course I am right. ou need to read his statements from the time President Trump started promoting Chloroquine.
He is a doctor and thus, he can say it shows promise etc. but he has to base his decisions on proper scientific studies.
Which just so happens not to be his job.
He is not the FDA. It's not his business to approve or disapprove drugs. The FDA, who's job it is to approve or disapprove drugs, has already given provisional approval for Chloroquine to be used for coronavirus.
Fauci has ZERO experience in treating anybody with coronavirus. He needs to shut up already about the approval of drugs for coronavirus.
And a very good thing too.
Maybe its one of the reasons he won 49 states in 1984.
Better late than never, keep it coming.
No. You are wrong. Quit misleading people.
On Free Republic, you are the joker
Having a right does not remove the ignorance
Go President Trump! So many government “workers” at all levels are politically-biased, seditious moles slow-walking or undermining anything good.
“Then stated he would be very strong on future funding of the incompetent WHO. Dr. Fauci and Dr. Bix, WE are looking at you and your preditions/recommendations.”
YES. Our POTUS has learned and is learning much about the DC cesspool.
(A swamp is a natural thing, provides habitat and cleans the waters; a cesspool is a man-made pit for chit).
Bannon was right of course. But what he advised should have been obvious.
Deep State could not believe their good fortune and Trump’s foolishness.
I have no idea how you got on to the topic of border walls.
As I have indicated, there is a large task force of various people including the doctors. They debate and provide advice to the president and they president makes the decision.
Fauci is but one person on that task force who provides advice. So far he has supported Trump’s decisions and is highly respected by Trump.
In this battle, I support Trump and his task force.
So you are wrong and have a nice day.
You brought up the Fauci "advising President Trump to close the borders to fight coronavrus"
Again, I ask, how do you close a 2,000 mile border that has had illegals streaming in for decades, without a border wall?
Who has been fighting to build a border wall since day one, long before coronavirus? President Trump, not Fauci.
It sounds like your saying President Trump was naive?
Stop...think...remember.
Well, post-impeachment, the anti-Trumpists are seriously low on ammunition. They’re reduced to shooting spit-balls (tin foil hat aside). But still, if he just replaced all of them on Day 1, what’s the worst that could have happened? A bogus impeachment? Seems kind of inevitable.
How soon we forget.
"Shut up," he explained.
I have a different standard to suggest...make the case for the economic carnage being done in the name of "erring on the side of caution."
And...if you aren't willing, at least acknowledge it's an open question.
