kallend 1,623 #1 Posted May 19, 2020 Trump has fired or sidelined the chief watchdogs for the intelligence community, the Pentagon, the Departments of Health, Transportation and now State. These transparent moves to shield his administration from oversight and accountability have been aided and abetted by the craven silence of congressional Republicans. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,340 #2 May 20, 2020 Kinda funny how so many of the idiots are screaming about how their 'rights' are being taken away, yet are silent on how the Repulicans are systematically dismantling accountability and the rule of law in our government. Actually, it's not funny at all. Its disgusting. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the latest one seems to be because the guy watching over the State Dept found out that Pompeo sold arms to the Saudis in violation of the law. There's also the fact that Pompeo used federal funds for a party at his house and used federal employees to do personal tasks. But both of those are far less serious than the arms sales.

Not just arms sales, they handed over US nuclear technology. That's YUGE in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
