President Trump removes inspector general set to oversee $2 trillion stimulus spending

Here we go... I'm sure Nancy saw this coming.

President Donald Trump has sidelined the inspector general who was tapped to chair a special oversight board of the $2.2 trillion economic package intended to help businesses and individuals affected by the coronavirus, officials said Tuesday.

Glenn Fine, the acting Defense Department inspector general and a veteran watchdog, had been selected by peers last month for the oversight position.

Removal by any means necessary?
Or should we just let congress handle it?
The second option doesn't seem to be working very well.
