Sen. Chuck Grassley writes letters after Trump fires inspectors general. But that's all he does.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said Monday that he will "try to get to the bottom" of Donald Trump's latest firing of an independent government watchdog tasked with investigating the actions of Trump and his administration.

Grassley, whose official website notes that he is the co-founder and chairman of the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus, sent a letter to Trump on May 18 demanding information about the dismissal of the State Department's inspector general, Steve Linick, last week.

However, Grassley's comments are very similar to ones he made when Trump first began purging inspectors general six weeks ago. Thus far, he has not acted on his tough talk to protect those watchdogs, four of whom Trump has now ousted.

"Grassley wrote to Trump on April 8 and set a deadline for answers about the firing of IG Atkinson. Trump ignored him, then fired Atkinson. Grassley dropped it. Today, Grassley wrote Trump a letter on IG Linick making the same points he made in his April letter. Yawn," Walter Shaub, a former director of the Office of Government Ethics who resigned early in Trump's tenure over Trump's refusal to adhere to ethics requirements, tweeted.

Hey Grassley, first and foremost your an ass.......call a fucking hearing............... your "guy' doesn't even have drivers license, why is that? I would really like to know if he has drivers license for proving he can vote and who he says he is........now that he is registered in Florida......
And you were given the grand opportunity to remove a lunatic...............your "guy" asshole doesn't even have both oars in the water, he only has one in the water, and now your having this "moment" of fucking reflection, your double standard moment of being as much as a lunatic as him by deflecting and your hypocrisy, you have the power to ask questions, why are you not ................FUCK YOU...........
