Summary

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) criticized Donald Trump for illegally firing inspectors general without giving Congress 30 days’ notice.

Trump recently dismissed the USAID inspector general after a report exposed the administration’s mismanagement of foreign aid, putting $489 million in food assistance at risk.

Grassley, a longtime watchdog advocate, said Trump could still remove officials legally by placing them on administrative leave.

    I agree with this statement, but even if an attorney general did approve the investigation what would happen if they found out Trump really did break the wall? They can’t teach him with the Republicans control in the house and the Senate wouldn’t convict even if the house did impeach.

    Gotta find some way to pray that guy at the office without relying on the Senate or the Congress.
