The #InspectorsGeneral report released Friday concluded that Sec #KegBreath's use of the commercial "#Signal" chat app to discuss an ACTIVE military mission "endangered both the mission & our troops."
#Schmitt (above) dismissed the IG's report, claiming simply "they're wrong" and citing unrelated examples as his defense.
No network should ever allow this dangerously stupid & insulting man (Schmitt) back on their broadcast. 😐

Attack on #Science – #InspectorsGeneral Play an Important Role in Maintaining #ScientificIntegrity. They were Just Fired
If federal employees, including federal scientists, are concerned about waste, fraud, or abuse of actions and policies, they can raise concerns to IG’s office.

IG's are independent Department Watchdogs first put in place after Watergate to look out for corruption & abuse of power in those agencies.
As Stephen Colbert joked: "T**** is only doing this b/c he's so humble, he doesn't want anyone reporting when he does good." 😞
