Yup.
Clean house now and hope to regain losses in 2020 after the hubub dies down in 6 months.
I'm expecting Jets level of fuckery next two years.
*scratch scratch scratch*
Is that Lindsay Graham I hear begging for some scraps?
Take a break from the Internet, go outside, and get a fucking grip, please.

Awesome. But he wont do it.

An appointed attorney general can't oversee the Russia Investigation until confirmed by the Senate though, so he's already recused...
Doesn't Mueller have a giant sum of money seized from Manafort and others that could continue to fund the investigation?
Let me control him and he'll be caught stealing a janitor's pants in the hallway.Whitaker looks like slightly fatter Agent 47.
This will only work if Mueller still has a lot of work left, for all we know, or anyone else for that matter. He could be close to complete.
Link?
CNN is reporting that he's expected to take over Russia probe oversight.

Schumer already getting a head start on the 4D chess.
Well played.
The Department of Justice does which is led by Whitaker. Really our hope lies on the fact that Mueller is hopefully far enough along to start dropping Big hits.

That's wishful thinking. As long as the Republicans have the Senate they can do whatever they want without repercussions. Rosenstein no longer overseeing the investigation so Mueller is completely stalled and if the Democrats bring him in front of a camera hes not going to give up any evidence that can potentially be used in a trial... so i don't think anythings coming from this that would hurt Trump politically

There's your deadman's switch.
There's your deadman's switch.
Right now, Mueller has access to DOJ files because he is working for the DOJ. He only has what Rosenstein has authorized him to have. If he is removed from his current position or if the new AG limits or changes his privileges, then he no longer has the rights to that information. If he keeps things that he is no longer authorized to have then he will be breaking the laws that protect confidential documents.
Mueller would have to make the call to risk that.
Trump has never been held to account for anything in his miserable life.
Why would he expect this to be any different?
Lmao, that's not how it works. Investigations are funded by an official source and have to be properly documented.
Doesn't matter.
Putting this out there identifies the problem and conflict of interest on Day 1, and is another line item on the Obstruction of Justice sheet if they ignore or refuse this request.

"Lol no"
That's what I'm expecting.
to get rid of Mueller and to sweep the investigation under the rug.
Interesting. This directly contradicts what CNN is currently reporting (on CNN TV currently). Lots of confusing takes right now, we may need to wait for dust to settle.
User warned: Hostility to posters
The thousands of I'm sure equally enlightening posts you graced this forum with are certainly a distinction. A dead man's switch is a kind of back-up plan, but the term is not a euphemism for it. Calling you a bit light in the head, now that's a euphemism.
All that needs to happen is to have Mueller's investigative team survive for two more months before the House Dems officially back him up, right? Can Mueller hold out for that long?
Is it cognitive dissonance if I am incredibly anxious/nervous about the Muller investigation being killed/impaired, yet at the same time don't expect his findings to actually matter much due to successful impeachment being so unlikely with the republicans in congress?
I guess that depends on the information he has. If its as bad as we suspect then I have no doubt he would take every realistic risk.
