Ague Proof posted:Horrible, horrible. But a small part of me wants to see it so I'm filing it with nuking a hurricane. I'm tired and I read this as "filling it [the moat] with a nuked hurricane". Now that would be awesome. Especially with gators. Electrified alligator nuclear hurricane. A SyFy production brought to you by POTUS.

I chuckled. edit: frankly I'm mad nobody took the opportunity to get Trump to push for alligator conservation funding in the Rio Grande Valley, it's a clear opportunity to get some environmental work done

sexpig by night posted:Ah, thanks for clearing that up, I knew they also reported to congress but I forgot if that was a 'real' thing or a more protocol kinda thing where congress wants to be kept up to speed and junk Yeah, some 30-odd IGs are Senate confirmed and directly report their findings to Congress. Those 30ish IGs are also considered to have law enforcement powers and can have employees that are armed and have arrest powers, too! Do note that a bunch of IG vacancies have not been filled recently, but I don't know which ones off the top of my head. Steve Linick, the current State IG, was nominated by Obama in 2013 and was the FHFA (housing finance) IG before then. He has very little incentive to handle Pompeo with kid gloves.

I know we're laughing at the alligator/moat stuff, but let's not overlook the part where Trump literally suggested they SHOOT MIGRANTS IN THE LEGS to keep them from coming over the border. That's seriously hosed up.

So the IG just summoned up EIGHT committees immediately, for some big development at the Dept of State. This is either going to be: Pompeo threatening staffers who cooperate with congress, or something related to Ukraine surrendering. Either way, big bomb dropping tomorrow (that we may/may not hear details on) and an exceedingly high likelihood that Pompeo is hosed.

Those 30ish IGs are also considered to have law enforcement powers and can have employees that are armed and have arrest powers, too! Just to add on to igchat: For people interested in a primer on the role and structural position of IGs, CIGIE’s website is a good resource (they are essentially a coalition of almost all the IGs in the us govt). https://ignet.gov/content/about-igs Amazingly IGs have retained a very high degree of political independence. I wouldn’t be surprised if after the IGs rip this admin apart the next set of authoritarians will do their best to neuter or dismantle them. I’m sure soon we’re going to see a lot of yelling about them being Obama-appointed political hacks and try to make people question their independence.

OAquinas posted:something related to Ukraine surrendering. I don't think the IG would really have any role in this scenario, from my understanding of how it works. an urgent briefing on the political situation re: the ukraine/russia conflict would be from an under secretary or assistant secretary or something, not from an investigative watchdog whose job is purely internal affairs of the state department
