[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The firing is illegal. Per the IG Act 2022, he has to give Congress a 30 day notice. [/quote]

His staff obviously knows this. So is he testing the guardrails again to see how far he can push against them before they give way? The IGs have already been fired. Who has authority to address this illegal move? Can anyone stop it? Please share what you know since most of us don’t know the law.[/quote]

I suppose it will have to go to the courts.  On Monday, I expect these IGs will seek preliminary injunctions.  Where this gets tricky, in my mind, is who pays for lawyers to do this?  Obviously, the agency won't be permitted to provide counsel or cover legal fees.  Do these individuals have enough to fight?  I don't see any chance they could get relief by going to any other agency or OPM, for example.[/quote]

If you, or any other readers of this thread, hear about a GoFundMe for the IG’s defense, please post a link. What good is the IG law and its “protections” if the IGs have to mount and pay for their own defense? Most people can’t afford that.[/quote]
