This is resistance. As long as the IGs still exist, they can make life more difficult for the administration. To get rid of them properly, a new law repealing the 2022 amendments would need to be written and signed. That takes time. If the administration through dirty tricks just bars them from work, then they get sued, and it will go to SCOTUS. That also takes time. At this point, taking their time slows their agenda. The administration is trying to use a shock and awe strategy to push changes through as fast as possible, and slowing it down detracts from that strategy and hurts them. It’s a death by a thousand cuts strategy.
