  1. point is:
    he shouldn’t have had to “fire” them;
    they should have left of their own accord.
    obviously they’re blind;

    Nothing as tragically comical as when a Federal department ‘investigates’ itself. It’s like asking a six year old if they stole from the cookie jar.

  3. Is there ANY nation on Earth where a government is expected to have “disloyal” employees trying to tear things down? It is certainly not a trait of Leftist/Marxist governments. Media didn’t complain about Obama firing Bush appointees or Biden firing Trump’s.
