Trump to Grassley: He worked for me and I didn’t trust him so I fired him. If you have a problem with that, change the Constitution!

Who will cover the story? If Trump lays it out, who is going to cover it? The lame stream media? What planet are you from?

Congress needs to get the Federal Debt and entitlements under control before they expend any of their lack of energy on bashing Trump further.

The deep state coup attempt is obviously no big deal to rino grassley.


Unsurprisingly, Grassley never “demanded answers” of the coupist IC IG during the Ukraine hoax that lead to the impeachment of a GOP POTUS.

Who needs Democrats with Republicans like Grassley?

I suspect the reason Pompeo fired this guy is that the coupists have launched another op in the State Dept for campaign season.

Interestingly, POTUS has no statutory obligation to provide details to Congress when firing an IG.

Yet Grassley claims he does.

I am sick of these “namby pamby” senators. Our country is “going to hell in a hand basket”. And also this is not the time for pastors in this country to be “rolling over and playing dead” and dear little children not learning about Jesus. . .the Savior of the World.

Well, Trump did well in the Midterms, adding two Senate seats. Most Presidents do far worse.

He serves at the pleasure of the president. His service no longer pleases the president. That’s the only explanation you are owed.

Why didn’t Grassley demand answers from Obama as to why there was no permanent IG while Hillary was Secretary of State. George W. Bush’s appointee left when Obama was inaugurated, and he never nominated anyone until after Hillary left. This Linick guy came in when Kerry took over.
