PRESIDENT TRUMP CLEANS HOUSE - FIRES MULTIPLE DEEP STATE IGS IN ONE SWOOP
While everyone's focus is on the news and the coronavirus, President Trump isn't letting this distract him from doing the rest of his job. He promised to drain the swamp. He's been doing it and is still doing it even to this very moment.
He has rid Washington of many of them, but there are still many that need to be removed. Rest assured that investigations are still going on in the background and we still have Deep State operatives being fired.
Susan Crabtree from Real Clear Politics said that seven Inspector Generals are expected to be fired in total relatively soon.
"Breaking: Trump is firing 7 IGs in one fail swoop, sources confirm to @RealClearNews. Most likely will be the IGs that were appointed by Pres. Obama or beforehand. He wants his own people in those positions now. Trump during his briefing said he has "put in 7 names" for IGs."
"Also -- some of these are likely replacements for IGs who have been serving in only acting roles (not Senate confirmed )-- but at least some of whom were first put in their position by Pres. Obama"

Others that are reportedly on the chopping block are the CIA IG, the IG of the Department of Education, as well as others.
During Tuesday’s daily coronavirus task force briefing, Trump implied that he no longer had faith in their oversight capabilities and he was in the process of replacing several of them.
“We have a lot IGs from the Obama era. … I left them largely” in place, he said. The president then openly complained about “reports of bias” surrounding some of their actions and acknowledged that he had moved to replace seven of them.
“We’re putting in seven names, I think it was seven, and they’re going in now,” he said.
“We have a lot of IGs in from the Obama era. And, as you know, it’s a presidential decision,” Trump told reporters Monday, referring to presidents’ ability to remove the watchdogs and nominate new ones.
Why it took him this long to dump the Obama holdovers ill never know. Thats just asking for trouble.

It wasn't a presidential decision, it was a Trump decision.
He probably didn't even know they were on the payroll, and then someone said that "Oh, they're from the Obama Administration"...and so he said "Obama? Then I have to fire them!".
Then again, he can't even keep 'his own' people that he appoints.
They drained the swamp, they just decided to turn it into a cesspool..
When you ban books before you ban guns, you've admitted that you're more afraid of children learning than you are of children dying.
Baby steps. At least hes finally getting rid of the Obama holdovers who are backstabbing him every chance they get. He kind of was asking for that by waiting.
