"On the plane they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom."
Horrible, inexcusable.

Sure, Trump broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice.
But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for Trump’s corrupt administration.
