That chick is twisted. “Genius” is not the cause of their unrealistic expectations.

GSA can have her out of there in less than an hour, unless it’s being run by an Obama/Biden appointee...

President Trump should fire her immediately. Apparently, she is yet another insubordinate deep-state wretch.

She’s refuses to leave?

Send in the U.S. Marshals to physically remove her from the building.

If she was confirmed by senate and serves at the pleasure of the president then Trump can say those words he is famous for.............”You’re Fired”

I think the problem is that Trump basically delegated that to RFK when the firing has to come directly from Trump himself, either verbally or in writing.

But the article says it comes from the WH - if RFK Jr. was working as the president’s agent, then the President fired her....

If it is a written order from Trump firing her, then sure, RFK can deliver it that letter to her. But RFK's say-so "Trump told me to do this" isn't enough.

Boy they really did a number on the minds of most Americans, including the overwhelming majority of scientists and doctors.

They dictated that it’s impossible for vaccines to cause autism, and almost everyone went along with it.

Destroying the practice of mind control is going to be a major aspect of draining the swamp.

RFK not involved. Firing came from Whitehouse. She is claiming that is not directly Trump.

“U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA)...released a statement after the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Dr. Susan Monarez to be Director of the...(CDC)”

“’America needs a CDC Director who will reform the agency and work to restore public trust in health institutions,’ said Dr. Cassidy. ‘With decades of proven experience as a public health official, Dr. Monarez is ready to take on this challenge and I look forward to working with her.’”

Then it is some WH staffer that also doesn't have the authority to dismiss Presidential appointees.

It seem petty, but legally she would be on solid ground to require either something in writing signed by the President himself, or auto penned at his direction.

Once again - all the articles say the news of her firing comes from the WH....and Trump said, he had cause because of her shady mortgage dealings...are you against her being fired, or just trying to “be right”?

Once again - all the articles say the news of her firing comes from the WH.

And none say specifically that it comes from President Trump, as opposed to some underlying in the WH. But if it did come from President Trump...why doesn't the White House just release a copy of the Trump-signed letter it sent to her?

To answer my own question, I think Trump likely just told someone in the White House "I want her fired", and then that message was sent to her, but without anything signed by him. My guess is that has since been remedied, or will be today. are you against her being fired....

Not really, although I think how/why it is done has important ramifications. If it is truly for cause, then I think the smarter course would have been to wait for the indictment. But it also might be (we just don't know) a way for the Administration to test the limits of Humphrey's Executor, and see whether it applies to the Fed. So without knowing what they are intending to do legally, it's kind of tough to say.

But purely in the abstract, I don't care one way or the other if she is fired.

or just trying to “be right”?

Of course I'm trying to be right -- isn't that better than being wrong?
