Mike Pompeo recommended Trump firing of State Department inspector general, White House says

• President Trump fired State Department Inspector General Steve Linick Friday night, notifying Congress of the decision in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
  
  
• Trump told Congress he no longer had full confidence in Linick, but did not provide an explanation as to why. A White House official said Trump fired Linick on Pompeo’s recommendation.
  
  
• A Democratic aide told NBC News that Linick was scrutinizing Pompeo’s alleged misuse of a political appointee to perform person tasks for himself and his wife, Susan. Democratic lawmakers have launched an investigation into Linick’s removal.

Nothing to see here

“Secretary Pompeo recommended the move, and President Trump agreed,” a White House official said.

Democratic lawmakers said the inspector general was investigating potential misconduct by Pompeo.

State Dept IG is fired, was investigated for mishandling sensitive information

Two sources familiar with Linick’s ouster told the DCNF that while they were not certain of the precise reason that the watchdog was fired, he was under investigation last year by the Department of Defense’s inspector general for mishandling sensitive material.

The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

I guess being a pussy makes you a "source" in the GOP's mind.

Obama had no State Department Inspector General for more than four years

President Donald Trump is being criticized by his opponents after firing State Department Inspector General Steve Linick on Friday night. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT)called it a “threat to accountable democracy.” However, President Barack Obama did not nominate an inspector general for the State Department during his entire first term.

In fact, the post was vacant for nearly four years. The last inspector general under President George W. Bush, Howard J. Krongard, resigned in December 2007. The position was vacant for nearly six years until the Senate confirmed Linick in September 2013. There was little public outcry or media criticism about the vacancy at the time.
