When White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows first joined Congress in 2013, he said he did not even know what inspectors general were. By the following year, though, he fashioned himself as their fierce defender, accusing the Obama administration of undermining them.
“Under this Administration, inspectors general have encountered unprecedented hindrance to their oversight efforts,” Meadows said in 2014 while pitching a bill to empower them. “This important legislation will ensure that IGs, who provide impartial insight into the conduct and management of federal agencies, will not be politically stonewalled.”
Meadows became White House chief of staff seven weeks ago. In that time, President Trump has controversially replaced five inspectors general. Three of the removals carry readily apparent retaliatory motivations, while the other two had been named to a committee tasked with oversight of the coronavirus response.
And four of the replacements were announced on Friday nights, when politicians often announce things they hope will be overlooked and quickly forgotten.
Looks like the Saudi's just bought another Trump property at inflated prices.
