President Trump has fired 17 Inspectors General (IG): officials who conduct watchdog activities over their assigned federal agencies.
There’s no doubt the IG system needs an overhaul. Some of the IGs have proven very conflicted in their work and even, at times, corrupt themselves.
But I noticed the list of the fired IGs includes one of the most effective– disdained by The Establishment in both parties for his work: the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) John Sopko.
Sopko upset the entities inside and outside of government making collective billions off of wasted US tax money spent in Afghanistan.
