Trump discussed firing intelligence inspector general who notified Congress of whistleblower complaint

 | November 12, 2019 04:54 PM

President Trump has privately discussed firing the intelligence community inspector general who informed Congress of a whistleblower complaint, touching off an impeachment investigation led by House Democrats.

The conversations began in September, around the time the complaint became public, and have continued in recent weeks, according to the New York Times. It is unclear whether Trump is seriously considering removing Inspector General Michael Atkinson or merely venting, but the president is said to view the watchdog as being disloyal.

He has also lashed out at Atkinson in public, tweeting last month, "Why does the ICIG allow this scam to continue?"

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
