Great, there are hundreds more to go.
The next conservative presidential candidate should simply declare he intends to fire every deputy-agency person located in Washington on day one, because the bureaucracies have proven themselves completely untrustworthy.
That way, no one will be surprised when it happens.
Anyone involved in the impeachment should be fired. Trump should also learn his lesson and when he wins second term, ask for resignations of all political appointees and accept those from pre-Trump and any that were recommended by Rince Prebus and other Never Trumpers. Clean House!!! He should have done this at start of first term.
He's just now getting around to this? Dismissal of all the obamanoids should have been done on Day One.
Weak. Very weak.
the media freaked out when Bush fired eight judges but said nothing when Clinton or 0bama fired all judges.
Drain the swamp!

Would that it were literally true.
You can't implement your program if the bureaucracy is sabotaging you all the time. You can't get "socialism in one country" if your bureaucracy is all about "permanent revolution." In the same way, you can't implement "America first" if your bureaucracy are all convinced Globalists. No, like Stalin, you first have to replace all the old bureaucratic guard with your own stalwarts before you have any chance for success. Trump must do the same, and hopefully he's figured that out now.
I always believed that Stalin's 1937 methods were perhaps a bit, well, draconian, and not at all necessary here in 'Murca, but now that irrefutable evidence of a coordinated, relentless, three-year-long soft coup attempt is out there for all to see, I'm beginning to think that Uncle Joe may have been on to something . . .
As I noted on a similar thread last night, the last person to hold the position of State Department IG was Howard Krongard, who had been appointed by George W. Bush, and served until January 15th, 2008. There was never a permanent IG for the State Department because Obama never nominated anyone for the position while Hillary was Secretary. This guy Linick wasn’t nominated until Kerry took over. Hillary had free-reign without having to worry about anyone looking over her shoulder. And of course, the media could have cared less that Obama left that position vacant all that time. They only rant and rave when President Trump fires someone who deserves to be fired.
Naturally, Democrats heads were exploding all over the Hill.
More good news.
I remember when there was a meeting in session with Obama and when he was confronted by a problem his answer was “They elected us. We’re in charge.”
A president is like a CEO. He isn’t in charge of coming up with the people within the ranks, except his immediate ones, that actually work in the trenches. If he is uncomfortable with a department head, he has every privilege to dismiss him as that person was appointed, not elected.
Nancy, the people elected Trump. And for your information, he has already replaced Linick with someone he is currently confident with. Too bad he can’t replace YOU. You are not productive and can’t be trusted either with your history of failure (see impeachment). Too bad they elected you to such a low and non-essential position as Trump’s actions with you have measured. Kind of gets your goat doesn’t it?.

You have to CRUSH these animals for real. Put the fear of God into them or they’ll be “investigating” you for eternity...or until they GET you.
Taking out the trash. Keep going Mr. President!!!
The Democrats would corrupt the Vestal Virgins to do their evil bidding.
EVERY Ophonybama “holdover” (SPY!) should have been fired at 1201 PM the day President Trump was inaugurated!
Should have been part and parcel of his Transition Team’s planning!
I am really surprised (and FRankly, somewhat disappointed) that it took this long!
HST, better now than later!

The State Department has been needing a purge of its career Leftist employees for several decades.
i assume this is another drop in the swamp draining. sure wish he would/could make the swamp draining into a nice quick flood! its sure NEEDED badly!!! especially the Nazis embedded in the Snake Dept. also many other dangerous or anti-American people in other places including some in defense, intelligence, security, policy posts especially
“Heads Exploding in Washington as Trump Fires State Department IG”
We’re losing our ability to corrupt!
