Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker (New Supervisor of the Mueller Probe)

Who cares? What does Judge Jeanine say?

 

The Russians meddled with the US presidential election, and had an enormous role in shaping public opinion to damage Clinton, right before the elections, which Trump won by a hair. There was a Trump Tower meeting with Russian officials. It's not an arbitrary thought to question whether there is a trail of money laundering, which is why the financial records are paramount.

 

This appointment appears to be unconstitutional by a previous Clarence Thomas ruling:

Thomas is saying that no statute can be used to overcome the constitution - clearly Trump maneuvered to get around the constitutional requirement, the courts - even a conservative one, will rule against him.

 

^^^ Here's a guy who looks beyond the surface. Whitaker, then, will play a role similar to when Devin Nunes secretly carried closed door information from the House investigation to the WH.

 

The Vacancies act does not apply when the person being replaced was fired.

 

This is correct. This act is being used in this case is a clear abuse of power. It’s like using the 25th amendment when the president is perfectly healthy, but you just don’t want to go through the impeachment process.

The vacancies act is designed for emergencies. Bi passing the chain of command is clearly an abuse of power and I fully expect some sort of stop put to his appointment pretty soon.

If not, virtually every court case in the United States that is the US justice department vs Joe Blow can be challenged in court based on the fact that there is a fake AG listed as the party bringing charges. I would assume other federal judges around the country can do something to challenge this.

 

Daily reminder... trump lies about everything.

 

And naturally, the guy trump knows, he hasn't discussed the Mueller investigation...

 

just as a reminder...john yoo is the guy who said there is no law to prevent the president from having a childs testicles crushed in front of his parents.

if even this piece of human garbage is saying trump went too far then you know you have problems.

 

As you know very well, the first sentence of his "resignation" letter was "At your request..."

 

Ha!

Garbage in, garbage out...or something like that...right?

 

...uh...

...ain't it written down somewhere in all these selectively enforced laws and constitutions that these two things—religion and policy—are supposed to be kept separate?...

...I keep thinking I heard or read something like that somewhere before...

 

Yea, if my boss and company tells me to resign I will tell my friends I wasn't fired too.

 

Bill Kristol, editor of the conservative The Weekly Standard...

 

I chuckle thinking about the meltdown you would be having right now if a president Hillary Clinton had just appointed a non Senate confirmed lackey to oversee an investigation into herself. Party before literally everything else.
