Everyone has a plan until Pelosi punches you in the face with subpeonas
Trump can't fire anyone that doesn't directly work for him. A special counsel is an independently appointed federal investigator.
He can only fire people that work directly under his own authority, like the AG, deputy AG, FBI director, etc... etc...
THEY are the ones that would have the authority to fire or reassign the probe to another investigator.
I think if his findings were inconsequential, Trump & co. wouldn't be making chess moves to neuter his capabilities.
It was DoJ guidelines that required Sessions to recuse himself, it wasnt a personal choice. DoJ likely has guidelines that would require Whitaker to recuse as well, based on his public writings when he had no ties to the investigation. Also, I think Rosenstein will stay in charge until Senate confirms a replacement for Sessions, I dont think Acting AG would walk in and take over investigations already in progress that he has never been a part of when there is already someone in charge of it.
Yup, you just starve it out. That way there is no flashpoint for people to rally and protest.
Much of the necessary evidence is already in the public domain and has been that way for quite some time. A real congress would have impeached long ago.
I hope so. But one of the ways fascists gain power is by putting good people under intense pressure until they either fail or run.
What? He's already put people in jail and has handed out numerous indictments, with more to come. Just blurting our what he has now would be a horrible mistake, he's still working to the top.
I think they absolutely will be damning, important findings, but the republicans in the senate just won't care.
hahaha get fucked Graham
Do y'all think the last sentence is a shot at Sessions or am I reading too much into that?
I think it's going to affect him stateside. Duded did shady shit with money and the state of New York isn't going to be held back by a corrupt senate.
He could but why do that when Whitaker could just deprive Mueller of funding and/or muddle his investigation?
CNN didn't contradict that, but brought up a previous interview they had with him, where he spoke to Don Lemon on how to stop the investigation by slowing it down, and starving it from resources.
They just also brought up the information in that tweet as well.
Not sure what part they were talking about since they've been covering this was contradicting though, so now I'm curious what you heard from it.
Seeing that bastard Sessions get disgraced after achieving the position he' wanted his whole life is so cathartic.
Now to see qhat Mueller has prepares for this moment.

Because these people are stupid motherfuckers who don't understand subtlety.
Most sure but there is things FBI can't make public until they make indictments. Mueller knows more other than trump himself.
That's an odd description of "holy hell"
