In the growing series of President Trump’s controversial removals of inspectors general, the firing of State Department IG Steve Linick might be the most problematic. Linick, we’ve come to find out, had been investigating Secretary of State Mike Pompeo personally, as well as a major decision Pompeo had approved on an arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And both the White House and Pompeo have said the removal of Linick was Pompeo’s call.
On Monday, Pompeo’s office made the case for why Linick deserved to be removed. But, at least at this point, it’s pretty thin gruel.

Using staffers for personal tasks, multiple flights on government aircraft back to KS, & pushing through a major arms sale to Saudi Arabia might warrant a Special Counsel to look into this fatso.
