FEC Commish refuses to leave.

by

These career bureaucrats cling to power like leeches, refusing to budge no matter how illegitimate their presence is. Nearly 20 years overstaying her term, and she still has the audacity to act like she’s the victim? This is the swamp in its purest form—unelected, unaccountable, and convinced they’re above the law. Trump is trying to clean house, but the deep state fights tooth and nail to protect its own. She can whine all she wants, but the reality is clear: the American people didn’t put her there, and she doesn’t get to decide when she leaves.

Trump takes revenge on Federal Elections boss who challenged him over stolen votes

Donald Trump fired Federal Election Commission Commissioner Ellen Weintraub Thursday, taking aim at one of his chief critics over claims of election fraud.

In a response, Weintraub – who has overstayed her term on the FEC by nearly 20 years – has said that the attempted firing is illegal and that she was going nowhere.

Since taking office on January 20, Trump has embarked on a massive government makeover, firing and sidelining hundreds of civil servants and top officials at agencies in his first steps toward downsizing the bureaucracy and installing more loyalists.

Weintraub, appointed to the FEC by George W. Bush in 2002, posted the letter, dated January 31 and signed by Trump, to social media.

It said: ‘You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission, effective immediately.’

Weintraub – who has consistently slammed the president’s claims of fraudulent elections – refuses to leave.

‘There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn’t it,’ she said in a post on X, which had the letter attached.

‘I’ve been lucky to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way,’ she added in her post.
