Michael Missal, former Inspector General, criticized President Trump during an MSNBC interview after his abrupt dismissal via a brief email. He claimed it violated legal requirements for congressional notification and justification, which protects the integrity of watchdog roles in the government. Along with other former inspectors general, Missal has filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the firings, arguing that they undermine accountability and oversight that Congress intended to safeguard. The situation raises questions about the administration's commitment to independent oversight.
If we didn't do our job, we should be replaced. And so neither of those were done in this situation. It's a clear violation of the law!
One thing you could say is maybe they don't want the independent watchdogs. Maybe they want lapdogs instead of watchdogs.
