“The firings of multiple Inspectors General is unprecedented; doing so without good cause chills the independence essential to their purpose. It is a threat to accountable democracy and a fissure in the constitutional balance of power,” Romney wrote on Twitter Saturday.

So the firings, lucky for us, are NOT a threat to our REPUBLIC! FFS mittens. Take a history/civics lesson. When you don't do the job you're hired for at the level the boss expects, you get the boot.

Mitt Romney is a P.O.S.

I thought the State of Utah had more common sense, but the idiots elected this compromised jerk.

Romney is a worm, of course. However, he’s a fairly insignificant and petty worm who has done remarkably little over the course of his political life to affect the country one way or another.

The Federal Government has a revolving employment door.
Somebody else can easily be installed in these empty IG positions
even if it is for a short time as a temporary position holder.

Acting IG! No threat to anything. Give it a rest, butt hurt boy.

The threat to democracy was that Trump did not fire them all immediately.

Period.

It’s not a threat to democracy, it’s a threat to the deep state.

They hate it.

Look at Inspector General vs Active Inspector General
I won't even bother with Assistant Inspector General who is usually tapped into a vacated position.

The Chief Executive is not accountable to anybody in the executive branch. Mitt Romney's understanding of the Constitution is a threat to our Constitutional Republic.

The Chief Executive should be able to fire anybody in the executive branch. Mitt Romney's understanding of the Constitution is a threat to our Constitutional Republic.

If you think that’s bad, you should see what Pierre Delecto has been tweeting ...

Seriously, though, Romney’s post is getting a lot of loving... SMH
