It came to light yesterday morning that Trump fired multiple federal inspector generals. Inspector generals are tasked with finding fraud, waste, abuse, and misconduct at their federal agencies. They are a simple way to prevent the Executive Branch from abusing the departments themselves. Inspector generals are independent of the government, not political, and provide basic oversight for the American people.
There are three reasons Trump wants them all gone.
1) To abuse the departments themselves, leaving no record of what they've done. This abuse would primarily be of the department's employees and the agency's mission.
2) Weaponize the agencies to go after their enemies.
3) Steal blindly from the American people.
When you look at how bad Trump managed COVID, whereas when Biden took over, there was NO GAME PLAN in place to get vaccines into people's arms even though the vaccines had been available for a few months, that will seem quaint compared to what will happen over the next four years. I'm fully expecting Trump to back a truck up to the Treasury and fill it full of cash once a month, stashing it overseas, and when we finally figure out he stole 20 trillion dollars, at least 3 of the Supreme Court Justices would say "Did you specifically tell him you couldn't steal trillions? Not Guilty!"
Without independent oversight, it will take years after he's gone to finally find out all the evil, corrupt, and illegal things he did, requiring an extensive forensic audit. When we do find out all the illegal things he did, the Republicans who ARE COMPLICIT AND KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, will insist what has happened has happened, and we should just move on.
This is all by design and they're all in on it.
