The Defense Department’s inspector general who was appointed to oversee spending from the $2.2 trillion economic stimulus signed last week by President Donald Trump has been fired from his watchdog role at the Pentagon, according to a report by Politico.

Reports say Trump removed Glenn Fine from his role as the acting inspector general, meaning the career government official is now ineligible to serve on the stimulus oversight board charged with monitoring spending and preventing any mishandling of the public’s relief funds.

By law, only current inspectors general can serve on the audit panel.

Fine’s appointment as the chair of the stimulus committee last week was widely praised in Washington.

I think that equates to Chucky saying, "My hand is as far up his butt as Nancy's hand is up mine - when he opens his mouth, you can see my fingers wiggling."

Someone needs to look into why so many people in New Jersey aren't being paid unemployment

People that have applied due to the CARES act are not getting anything.
They're not even getting answers from Governor Murphy.

Where is the money going?

Why isn't the FED paying self employed people who filed claims directly?

I .. just like her for some reason, and its not just her looks.

Heck, I'd rather elect Melania potus than Ivanka, and she's not even eligible.
