From Politico last night:

President Donald Trump has fired the intelligence community’s chief watchdog, Michael Atkinson, who was the first to sound the alarm to Congress last September about an “urgent” complaint he received from an intelligence official involving Trump’s communications with Ukraine’s president.

To be fair, Atkinson will first be placed on administrative leave:

Two Hill sources tell NBC News Atkinson was informed tonight that Trump had fired him, and he has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately--circumventing a requirement that both intelligence committees be notified by Trump 30 days before removal of the IG. https://t.co/W9QVv3m8IB

I wonder why this wasn’t mentioned during the president’s daily campaign-rally-that-poses-as-a-press-briefing?

Note to Senator Capito: it sure looks like Trump has learned his impeachment lessons well. (I’m not joking.)
