If he&#39;s working to remove those who are working against the people, then I agree.

I think a bunch of the people he &#34;fired&#34; were appointed by him. He didn&#39;t remove the IGs who seem to be doing their job well by embarrassing the people they are overseeing.

Politico seems to be reporting without sufficient detail. I think we can assume that if he took the approach of letter to congress and 30 days administrative leave for one of them, he&#39;d have used the same form for the others.

He&#39;s sent his notice of intent to congress and he&#39;s put them on administrative leave for 30 days. That appears to satisfy the law.<br/>That&#39;s why the article you linked used the word &#34;may&#34; when describing it as illegal.<br/>There&#39;s a push, at the moment, in the democrat aligned press, to create a narrative that Trump is acting illegally in many aspects. This appears purely political and maybe it&#39;s a tactic that will work. 2025-01-26T12:06:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvtdusuvjnagypwh25k88snkpe25a7uegemt0q0flh982cw7u5ahszyq803wx06nhdep85ur9xw69mvt3alelp3h6kgwua3m4ujpxxf8566k85r37 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxvjnden5g7q7428hy8rj2znafz54v6tas05ehhjrpg99ywkxpk6qg2jxka'>nevent1q…jxka</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If Reagan and Obama could do it without a problem, then Trump probably can as well. It seems like when Obama did it the Republicans floated some legislation to change things but, typically, didn&#39;t follow through.
