While Smith still holds her position, the senior #FannieMae officials who called her conduct into question were all forced out of their jobs late last month, along with internal #ethics #watchdogs who were investigating #BillPulte & his allies.

The dismissals rattled the #housing industry & drew condemnation from #Democrats. It also gave more evidence to support claims that Pulte has leveraged the nonpublic information available to him to further his own political aims.

#law #Trump

The ouster of Joe Allen, #FHFA's acting #InspectorGeneral, follows the agency's director, Bill Pulte, becoming an outspoken voice in support of the #Trump admin. Across the government, the Trump admin has so far fired or reassigned close to two dozen agency #watchdogs, who police #waste, #fraud & #abuse. It has also defunded the group that supervises those offices.

With the firing of the #ExportImport #Bank’s inspector general, Trump has sidelined around two dozen of the #watchdogs who seek out #fraud & #mismanagement in #FederalAgencies.

#Democrats & #CivilSociety #watchdogs say the move is intended to silence #opposition, in addition to seeking #retribution against his perceived personal enemies.

Timothy Naftali, a presidential historian & fmr director of the #Nixon presidential library, said #Trump & Nixon were similar in their desire to punish political enemies & #silence critics, but a pliant #Republican-controlled #Congress & a cabinet packed with #loyalists are enabling Trump to go further.

As #Trump accelerates his #authoritarianism, #USPol could lose #democracy status, says global watchdog.

It refers to ongoing events in the U.S. as unprecedented, mentioning Trump #pardoning 1,500 #criminals who supported him; #firing independent agency #watchdogs without process; #purging apolitical #police and #military brass; #ignoring #laws; and his unilaterally deleting federal programs, and even a whole organization, created by U.S. Congress

#Trump’s attempt to fire Dellinger is part of his broader push to remove government #watchdogs who investigate wrongdoing & protect #FederalWorkers. Trump also has tried to fire the head of the Merit Systems Protection Board [#MSPB], an #independent agency that hears appeals of terminations & other adverse actions against #CivilServants. A federal judge reinstated her temporarily. Dellinger’s office refers certain cases to the merit board, which issues its own decisions.

Republicans who control the Wisconsin state Senate 💥fired eight more of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ appointees 💥Tuesday, including two Universities of Wisconsin #regents who voted against a deal that limited campus #diversity and four judicial #watchdogs who wouldn’t commit to punishing liberal state Supreme Court Justice Janet #Protasiewicz.
The Senate also fired a member of the governor’s #domestic #abuse #council after Republicans accused the body of violating open records laws and taking what the GOP considered a stance against #white people, as well as a member of the deferred compensation board, which administers a state retirement program.
The Senate has now fired 21 Evers appointees since the governor took office in 2019.
The governor said in a statement Tuesday that he was “apoplectic” that Republican senators keep firing his appointees for no good reason.

#SLAPPs In Europe: How The #EU Can Protect Watchdogs From #AbusiveLawsuits

In their new policy paper, #Liberties and other rights and #pressfreedom groups explain why abusive lawsuits (SLAPPs) against watchdogs and journalists threaten #democracies in Europe and what governments and the EU should do tackle it.

by Linda Ravo
January 13, 2022

"The European Commission is set to shortly unveil its proposal for EU-wide measures against SLAPPs. In a new policy paper published today, Liberties and other rights and press freedom groups which form the Coalition Against SLAPPs in Europe (#CASE), explain what SLAPPs are, how big of a threat they are to watchdogs in Europe, and propose what governments and the EU should do tackle the problem.

Censorship by litigation

"Citizens are supposed to be in charge of their democracies. #Watchdogs like #journalists, #rights #defenders and #activist groups are key to enable citizens to get informed, shape their opinions, and keep an eye on people in power to make sure they do what is best for all of us.

"As we explain here, SLAPPs (an acronym which stands for 'strategic lawsuit against public participation'), are a form of abuse of law and justice that #corrupt politicians and powerful #businesses across Europe increasingly make use of to #harass, #bankrupt and intimidate #journalists, activists and other watchdogs into silence. Helped by expensive and unscrupulous law firms, they sue them on grounds of meritless and abusive claims with the purpose of shutting down acts of public participation, including public interest journalism, #PeacefulProtest or #boycotts, #advocacy, #whistleblowing, or simply speaking out against abuse of power."

Die Figur der #TrustedFlaggers schien mir auch soziologisch besonders interessant. Hier wird #CivilSociety , hier werden #AufsehendeGewalten oder #watchdogs in die staatlichen #ChecksAndBalances integriert.
Ist das - den Entwurfsstatus außen vor - so spektakulär, wie es mir scheint?
