By Saturday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-New York) and Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Bob Menendez (D-New Jersey) sent a letter to the White House, alleging the firing was "politically-motivated," and announcing an investigation.See also: $6 Billion unaccounted for at State Department
The two Democrats wrote that Linick was in the process of investigating State Secretary Mike Pompeo for some non-specific "wrongdoing." Pompeo, they claimed, instructed Trump to sack Linick.
Trump may have had other reasons to fire Linick. A holdover from the Obama administration, Linick came forward last October with a mysterious dossier, which allegedly revealed an effort by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to push the State Department to investigate Joe Biden's business dealings in Ukraine. That the president would remember Linick's role in the impeachment drama is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility.
Engel and Menendez have requested that the Trump administration turn over all documents related to Linick's firing by May 22. Until then, the precise details of the firing, and Trump's motivations, remain a mystery.
Comment: Ostensibly this means that the Trump administration is trying to get ahead of the Dem's attempt to steal the election via, mail in ballots, on-line voting because Corona - or whatever else they can come up with. But who knows what strange directions "The Intelligence Community" will take their oversight to.
