> The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire the inspectors general.

> Some of the government’s largest agencies were involved, including the Departments of Defense, State, Transportation, Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, and Energy.

> Most of those dismissed were Trump appointees from his first term, which stunned the group.

Is anyone going to enforce said violations? My guess is absolutely no one.
