GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley and a bipartisan group of fellow senators are calling on President Trump to provide a "detailed" written explanation for his decision to remove the intelligence community inspector general from his post, in an effort to protect watchdog independence.
In a letter to Trump, Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sens. Mitt Romney, R-Utah; Susan Collins, R-Maine; Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Mark Warner, D-Va.; Jon Tester, D-Mont.; Ron Wyden, D-Ore.; and Gary Peters, D-Mich., raised concerns over Trump’s recent firing of ICIG Michael Atkinson, who played a key role in the impeachment saga.

Short answer, “because.”
God help us all if just one government worker loses his job.
Not as short of a short answer, but “Noneofyabusiness!”
What detail is required? He was involved in the impeachment thing and Trump fired him.

I’ll take...Backstabbing Pricks for $800.00, Alex.
Disgusting.
Deep state hiding something?
MAGA
When Trump gets reelected in the coming landslide in November, I hope he starts from day one a scorched earth policy to rid the country of the deep state . . . not a single minute to waste. Git ‘R’ Dun!
So I guess no other President has ever fired an IG?
Grassley is inadvertently proving once again that the ongoing coup against POTUS is “bipartisan” in nature.
A suggestion for Mr. Grassley - Why don’t you investigate how/why this IG changed the rules just prior to Ukrainegate?
Do you not find the timing of this as well as hiding the identity of the whistleblower in contravention to established rules curious? Are you not concerned that his (the IG) own testimony before congress has been hidden even during the impeachment trial?
The GOPe never fails.
What a useless tool.
How many senators sent Obama or Clinton letters when the rat presidents fired personnel? Hum? We know the answer. None!
He serves at the pleasure of the President.
At least they can’t blame THIS useless tool on California.

I suggest:
Dear Senator Grassley,
None of your effing business.
Sincerely,
Donald Trump
Just think what could be accomplished by our dear President if all these individuals envious of him and his family would have their mouths super-glued. Keep praying everyone to the Master of the Universe, the Lord God Almighty . . . for His Grace and Mercy. . He is the One in charge!
