NBC News ^ | May 16, 2020 | Dennis Romero

President Donald Trump on Friday removed a watchdog critical of personnel moves in the State Department.

Trump informed Congress of the move in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, in which he gave no specific reason for firing State Department Inspector General Steve Linick.

Trump wrote he “no longer” had full confidence in the State Department's inspector general.

You don’t have to be the sharpest pencil to know that Pompeo works for Trump.

You do know that, right?

I mean you could almost be the dullest pencil in the bunch and still know that Trump decided this.

And I believe that you’re Almost the dullest pencil but not the dullest :)

buona notte!

Politically he was naive.

Look at the atrocious appointments he made early on...

Sessions, Priebus, Bannon, Scaramucci, Mattis, Rex Tillerson... People that stabbed him in the back.

He has done a much better job with personnel later on.

BTW - I like Trump a lot, but reality is reality. I got a feeling he himself would agree that his early picks were a disaster - they had no loyalty to him and leaked like sieves.

You can pretend otherwise, but facts are facts.

[President Trump should have started a massive purge in January 2017.]

Exactly. It’s what I would have done. Any Obama holdover and/or anyone who expressed support for the Lying Kenyan would have been out.

He didn't have people waiting to join him. He had/has to take and try to work with what was/is given to him.

President Obama's greatest accomplishment in eight years was placing partisan Democrats at every position in government. From the bosses in the top officers to the folks at the bottom sweeping the floors, and every manager, worker, and intern between them. Every paying and non-paying position within the U.S. government was filled by partisan Democrat hacks. Obama was so successful that in the process, he was able to flip Virginia blue solely due to the massive influx of swamp dwellers.

And people here thought he was lazy.

No, they should have been on the gallows at sun rise.

AND strip their security clearance. Too many leaks. Too much subversive cross agency networking.

...State Department ...
_____________
My suspicion is they colluded with China, the globalists and the international Deep State. That may be redundant.

I think you’re dead on. My perception of the State Department has been that it represents anyone but the United States. It needs a thorough house cleaning.

“He didn’t have people waiting to join him. He had/has to take and try to work with what was/is given to him.

Get a clue!”

*****

Bingo. Unfortunately, those Freepers who type “Trump SHOULD HAVE done it 1st day” have NEVER run a business.

1) There are more than 50,000 govt rats working who lean left and where exactly are we gonna get 50,000 rightwingers to fill in those slots? Are they Trumpers? The logistics alone is mind-boggling. I cant even replace the faggot in our company bec. everyone on paper is not qualified so Im stuck with this twink..

2) Those who Trump fired will get back at after retirement while those same Freepers stay behind their keyboards in hiding, not gonna do sh*t to help Trump. Talk is cheap.
