Hillary Clinton Ripped State Department Watchdog Fired by Trump

By New York Post. The same State Department watchdog fired Friday by President Trump was the target of an earlier accusation that he engaged in partisan politics — from Hillary Clinton when she was running for president in 2016.

The former secretary of state’s campaign in 2016 attacked ex-inspector general Steve Linick for criticizing her use of a private email server and allegedly leaking negative stories about her to the press.

Defenders of Trump’s firing of him have charged that Linick was biased against the Republican president and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, whom he reportedly was investigating for improper use of staff and governmental resources — the same charge Dems leveled at the IG when he criticized Clinton, then the presumptive Democratic candidate for president.

In a May 2016 report, Linick was critical of Clinton’s use of a private server to conduct State Department business and her failure to turn over missing emails after she left Foggy Bottom.

“At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service and, because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Department’s policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act,” the report said, Vox reported at the time.

This time, however, the so-called outsider is the sitting president of the United States. (Read more from “Trump Revives Clinton Playbook to Battle Biden” HERE)
