Is this one of the "Acting" director issues that Trump prefers?

The U.S. agency overseeing aviation safety (click here) loses its chief at midnight Saturday with no replacement in sight — days after President Donald Trump took credit in a tweet for the airlines’ safest year on record....
There were Americans killed in that Ethiopian Airlines crash. There is profound reasons to impeach a president if he is placing the lives of Americans in jeopardy. McConnell needs to realize this president is incompetent and it is showing.

Alan Diehl, (click here) former air safety investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board joins 'The Exchange' to discuss the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 409 and what can be learned from the accident. They also discuss the plane Boeing 737 Max 8 which has now been involved in two crashes.
McConnell is not conducting Senate oversight and is absolutely not backing the American people when dangerous conditions exist with impunity.

U.S. aviation regulators (click here) signaled their confidence in the safety of Boeing Co.’s embattled 737 Max jetliner, issuing a global notice of “continued airworthiness” a day after the model’s second deadly crash in less than five months.
There isn’t conclusive evidence so far to link the loss of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 on Sunday and a fatal Lion Air disaster involving the same jet model in October, the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday. Boeing is working on improvements to the plane’s flight-control system and the FAA plans to publish a related directive to operators “no later” than April.
“External reports are drawing similarities between this accident and the Lion Air Flight 610 accident on October 29, 2018,’’ the FAA said. “However, this investigation has just begun and to date we have not been provided data to draw any conclusions or take any actions.’’...
There is absolutely no reason the FAA has to contradict the public concern. This is "Wall Street" focused propaganda. If the FAA has scoured it's records regarding the Max 8 that proves there is no threat to American lives then put it out to the public. The two crashes within 8 months is notable and there is something wrong. It is the obligation of the USA government to investigate these crashes and have PROOF there is nothing wrong with the jet. The facts currently at work is highly worrisome, including any other factor such as pilots and maintenance.
