IG Fired For Doing His Job To Report Whistleblower Complaint To Congress

[PoliTalker]

Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson was fired Friday because he properly reported the WB complaint to Congress.

"The intelligence community watchdog removed abruptly late Friday by President Donald Trump says he believes Trump ousted him because of his evenhanded handling of a whistleblower complaint that ultimately led to the president's impeachment.

"It is hard not to think that the President’s loss of confidence in me derives from my having faithfully discharged my legal obligations as an independent and impartial Inspector General," Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community inspector general said in a statement Sunday, "and from my commitment to continue to do so."

Atkinson was the federal official who revealed to Congress in September the existence of a whistleblower complaint against Trump, which indicated that the president improperly pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. When Atkinson sought to share that complaint with Congress under a federal whistleblower law, the White House and Justice Department intervened and blocked the transmission of the complaint for days."

Atkinson: Trump fired me because I handled whistleblower complaint properly

“As an Inspector General, I was legally obligated to ensure that whistleblowers had an effective and authorized means to disclose urgent matter.”

Pretty obvious that if you don't kiss Trump's ass you ain't going stay on Trump's team, even if you are appointed to a position where your job requires you to be honest and nonpartisan. Says a lot about billy Barr

Yeah, and you serve at the pleasure of the head janitor, Merle.

But if he fired you for reporting a safety violation that made him look bad, you'd be running to a lawyer so fast you'd leave a trail of smoke behind you.

The central issue is the REASON why Trump fires people.

Firing people just for exposing his malfeasance and incompetence though they're effectively doing their jobs is unethical.

But of course you rwnj's already know that, but it never stops you from excusing Trump for any shitty behavior no matter how bad

Hello jimmymccready,

Another charge in the indictments coming against Trump next Spring.

You mean after he loses executive immunity from being indicted by being replaced after just a single term?

Hello Trumpet,

The sickening part to this, is what corrupt lackey is Trump going to appoint to take over the IG position??????????????????

Hmmm. Well, the first name that comes to my mind is Gaetz.

Anybody who opposes the prez faces retribution.

Everybody in his administration must pledge allegiance to him, not the Constitution.

Horse mierda, Snowflake.

He is the Chief Executive. You either support his policies or you are gone.

"Those of us who vowed to protect a whistleblower’s right to safely be heard must, to the end, do what we promised to do, no matter how difficult and no matter the personal consequences," he wrote.

he's a whack job ignorant of the 6th Amendment..no right to privacy is absolute - especially by an accuser

What a brainwashed idiot position.

Since Trump, you dirtbag motherfuckers have abandoned even your former false pretext of decency.

You've jumped to he next level of absolute shameless disregard for anything but fealty to your master no matter what he does.
