The Trump administration fired the heads of three federal agencies after the election, prompting one to claim he was retaliated against for disagreeing with some policy.
The heads of the agencies that oversee the nuclear weapons stockpile, electricity and natural gas regulation and overseas aid were sent packing, NPR reported.
The sudden departures included Lisa Gordon-Hagerty, administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, who was forced to resign Friday. She was the first woman to oversee the agency in charge of the nuclear stockpile. Last year, she was on the president’s short list as a possible replacement for former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Bonnie Glick, was replaced by the acting administrator John Barsa, and Neil Chatterjee, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, were also sacked.
Chatterjee, who will stay as an agency commissioner, said in an interview with the Washington Examiner that “perhaps” the Trump administration was retaliating against him. President Trump is a skeptic of climate change and has looked to the FERC to help implement a pro-fossil fuel agenda.
“I have obviously been out there promoting a conservative, market-based approach to carbon mitigation and sending signals the commission is open to considering a carbon price, and perhaps that led to this,” Chatterjee said. “Quite frankly, if, in fact, this was retribution for my independence, I am quite proud of that.”

Time to declassify declassify declassify.
Good.
Looks like he is sending a message. ........
Monday Morning. Everything.
I wonder if this wasn’t due to climate change skepticism, but rather because of the possibility that these folks were helping to introduce Wokey McWokerson concepts and struggle sessions into their agencies. I really wouldn’t put it past such folks nowadays.
Chatterjee has a case of sour grapes. Climate change activist, has no place in policymaking. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Biden will pick you up, no fear.
The overstep... and we are seeing it so often.
Fire Wray, Barr, Fouche ( the dwarf),...

Yup. It will be interesting. Note the Elections agency didnt call it for Biden. Like I stated multiple times. yank article 230 protections so Google and Twatter can piss themselves.
It appears Chatterjee has been working for the Trump administration for much of Trump’s presidency
Neil Chatterjee - from wikipedia -
“He was commissioner in 2017 and again from October 24, 2018 until he was removed from the position by President Donald Trump on November 5, 2020”
