Pres. Trump is facing rebukes for ousting State Dept Inspector General Steve Linick – capping a string of unusual firings during the pandemic to make it the fourth ousting of an Inspector General in just two months. House Democrats allege Linick was ousted for doing his job – conducing probes into a Saudi Arms deal and the Secretary of State’s conduct.

Aired on 05/18/2020.

    1. The Atty General will be getting right on that! Any day now. Soon, I mean. I mean, he’s the nation’s top law enforcement official and works for all of us – right? Hello? Is this thing on?

  1. Trump has successfully drained the swamp …. of all the water, all that’s left is a cesspool of sludge.

    1. Hahahah…..Well I think that he never drained the swamp, but drawned in the left over sludge. I see this guy Donnie after his gangleadership endup behind bars.Vecause he is a dictator and criminal in a nice suite

  2. The corruption just piles up to the sky with this extortion ring administration!! America is being destroyed!

    1. Yes and Americans are doing nothing to stop it.we americans are gilty of continuing to do nothing about it.

    2. I suppose, technically speaking, ‘David Johnson’ is correct: Putin would have to PAY Trump to have ‘hired’ him. Trump wasn’t smart enough to get such a relationship. Putin blackmailed Trump, Putin swung the election for Trump, but it doesn’t cost Vlad one ruble.

    1. They can’t use the 25th amendment based on the fact he already demonstrated those traits when the people, in their wisdom, elected him to office…..our own American people failed us.

    1. @The Tweatles
      You deleted your comment again. Coward…🤣🤣 people aren’t taking your BS poor boy run away now.

    2. @j welsh I never delete comments SCHMEG breath…do Dad and Dad know you’re on the internet?
      tinyurl.com/rfv78pd 🎶

    3. @Iain Herridge Miss Lindsey is a creepazoid… I’m not a Republican I support Trump you imbecile.
      tinyurl.com/vhr8jss 🎶

    1. Dez Perkins I’m not red or blue you ignorant twit. Cram that party before country bs. Barr is a turd like his fuhrer.

    2. It is not Barr who will bring down the Corrupt Obama House of Cards…it is right now and will continue to be Special Prosecutor Durham who will hv Obama’s Top Officials from his Admin. prosecuted w some doing a Perp Walk while President Donald J Trump is taking the oath of Office for the second time.

    1. I hope he keeps taking that Cloroquin….., and has a ‘bad,’ reaction like a stroke or…. If we have to put up with him as president for a bunch more months, maybe he could just drool, or sag to one side.

    1. The Tweatles we sure do…inclusion not exclusion.

      Its why Red is dying and Blue will ultimately prevail, Billy.

      😢🖕🇺🇸

    2. @Dan Ross Trump is like a low-budget-soap opera about an intellectually arrested sociopath.

    1. @The Real Wolf Puppet Obama was a total joke and embarrassment for our country.
      tinyurl.com/y8fr4x82 🎶

    2. @The Tweatles You should be on you knees thanking him for all that he did for Americans.

    3. The Tweatles you mean he made a joke out of your country and is apparently STILL embarrassing you 🤣

      🖕🇺🇸🇺🇸

  3. Will everyone please..please vote..and drag a couple friends with you……it is our only hope.

    1. @John Adams
      On paper maybe but the
      Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary states that this term is especially applied to countries “run despotically.”

  4. Trump has such a fetish for the Obama’s, that Barack had a gate installed at his property to keep Trump out. The Obama Gate.

    1. @Heathen S what a sorry little basement child you are. No talent troll think that I am actually thinking of him. No. you are just a fly. a dead fly.

    2. @The Real Wolf i met my objective for the night. I triggered a loser and will live in their mind for hours to come. The end.

    1. What needs to still happen is the crooked scheming Democrats who have lied and snuck around and thrown barriers at the POTUS need to be gone.

    2. Get ready to see a new flag flying. Trump is doing this—He’s on his way to dictator land. WE F’d up months ago. the Rep. Senators took down the country while we sat home.

    1. @G O’Rourke he will be dead before then. A 75 year old who is obese in a stressful job while popping whatever pill he wants?Trump is a walking time bomb.

    1. @Redridge07 We don’t Allow Billboards in Vermont .
      But in this case maybe !! 😃🇺🇸

    2. Jeremy Wittekind Don’t forget, mr impeached was a very, very good friend of Epstein. It was probably him who had him suicided.
