President Trump to Fire Several Deep State IGs at Once
TheGatewayPundit ^ | April 7 2020 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 04/08/2020 3:51:05 AM PDT by SmokingJoe

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

Recently fired ICIG Michael Atkinson is part of the 7.

Trump is looking to fire the CIA IG and others at the Department of Education.

🚨 More info.: Trump changing a total of 7 IGs rt now — more changes may come later. Replacements include those for several IGs who were operating in acting positions, including Fine, and the CIA IG. Others were at Dept. of Ed. and Tennessee Valley Auth. Atkinson is part of 7

1. Search for any Obama appointees
2. Remove all of them

This seems like a very simple procedure. Maybe he’s been facing mighty resistance executing step two. But if that were true, why can he do it now, but not 3 1/2 years ago?

It’s a Medusa’s head, but in lieu of hacking it off at the neck, 7 snakes is certainly an effective haircut.

This is the perfect time to clean house. With the media obsessed with COVID, they will have little time to attack President Trump. Plus, their viewers won’t remember it the next day.

The president really did goive the all a chance to put America first above their deep state weaponization against the People,

After 3 years President Trump sees that they will not change, and so, OUT THEY GO!

Steve Bannon advized President Trump to get rid of all Obama appointees in the beginning, but the President wanted to establish continuity of tasking.His own people giot the experience needed and now the treasonous ba$tards must go.

Very good Mr. President.

“With the media obsessed with COVID, they will have little time to attack President Trump.”

And if he’s aggressive and productive enough, they may eventually get a clue and cease from the panic mongering. Win-win.

I would expect the Health & Human services IG to be fired/resign next after she released a report yesterday from two weeks ago to attempt to blacken the Trump response to COVID-19

Also this week, the president blasted the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, Christi Grimm, for her Monday report that revealed severe shortages of testing supplies and extended waits for results at hospitals across the nation; widespread shortages of PPE which put staff and patients at risk; difficulty maintaining adequate staffing; and shortages of critical supplies, like hand sanitizer, facemasks, toilet paper, linen, disinfectant cleaning supplies and more, as well as materials and logistics support.

“Why didn’t the I.G., who spent 8 years with the Obama Administration (Did she Report on the failed H1N1 Swine Flu debacle where 17,000 people died?), want to talk to the Admirals, Generals, V.P. & others in charge, before doing her report,” Trump tweeted Tuesday. “Another Fake Dossier!”
