Trump quietly fires three agency heads amid presidential vote count

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.

Is this dealing with arsonist after the barn is burned down and the ashes are cold.  Why not wait until next Presidential election ?

That last EO.  Trump is getting things done while the media plays games with the election.

That's usually the way it works, Bucko. The president - any president - wants and deserves his employees to be on the same page. The election or the "presidential vote count" have nothing to do with it.

The unusual outrageous hypocrisy of democrats.  slick willy fired government officials in massive numbers,and i never heard a peep out of democrats.  This President fires 1, OR 2, OR 3, officials and you'd think the world just came to an end.
