Trump fires IG Michael Atkinson.

[JimL]

Trump, the wannabe dictator, fires another IG, Glen Fine, who was appointed to oversee the 2 trillion dollar Coronavirus stimulus. If it's one thing dictators can't abide, it's independent oversight, and transparency.

AG Barr:

“I think the president did the right thing in removing Atkinson. From the vantage point of the Dept. of Justice, he had interpreted his statute; which is a fairly narrow statute that gave him jurisdiction over wrong-doing by intelligence people; and tried to turn it into a commission to explore anything in the government, and immediately report it to congress without letting the executive branch look at it and determine whether there was any problem. He was told this in a letter from the department of justice, and he is obliged to follow the interpretation of the department of justice, and he ignored it. So I think the President was correct in firing him.”

...

"I think the president has every right to be frustrated, because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history. Without any basis uh, they, uh, they started this investigation of his campaign; and even more concerning actually, is what happened after the campaign; a whole pattern of events while he was President. uh, So I, to sabotage the presidency; and I think that, uh, or at least had the effect of sabotaging the presidency.”

Barr has already shown himself to be in on the coup from within so he has no credibility other than to the blind naive fools who are too stupid to see through it.
