President Trump should demand McConnell to order the Senate back in session and take immediate vote on Senator Sessions as Attorney General. We cannot have people spitting in President Trump’s face like this.

Apparently a few stayed behind to fight a rear guard action.

Whoa! That’s brazen. I recall reading that any approval of prosecution of Hilly would have to go through two female deputies in the Justice Department, both big Hilly supporters. One was Yates.

What Trump did is absolutely Constitutional - Sessions has a major ‘drain the swamp’ project at the DOJ. Actually, so do most of the other Department heads.

As I said last night, it was a mistake to do this before Sessions was confirmed.

To not fire her is to leave Trump defenseless against all the lawsuits that have been filed. She is a political appointee who serves at the pleasure of the President. He must fire her and assert control over the DOJ. To leave her in charge until Sessions is confirmed (whenever that will be) is to allow the DOJ to be in enemy hands and doing whatever additional things to destroy the new Administration.

Bingo. Saturday night massacre.

Better plan: force the issue on Sessions. I suspect that’s been the plan all along: kill the filibuster

Holy constitutional crises, batman!

The acting AG should be terminated immediately for insubordination. If it turns into a Monday night massacre, so be it. This is not even a close call.

Time for a mass Freep and mass effort of all Trump voting and freedom loving Americans to contact Mitch McConnell and tell him to get off his penguin’s BUTT and get these nominations through.

Enough with letting the donks run the show on Sessions, Price etc.

The communists in FEDGOV need to FEAR what the right will do if they pull stunts like this.

The communists in FEDGOV right now have ZERO fear.

Pussyfooting around with these degenerate animals isn’t going to get the job done.

Heads need to roll.

The communists will destroy Trump if he does not go all Pinochet on them.

Guaranteed.

Send the POS to Yemen. Then fire her.

I thought the solicitor general was charged with that job any way.

My prediction is that by week end this along with his Cabinet Appointments will be Trumps Biggest Win since the election.
The “Constitutional Crisis” on CNN is priceless.
Watching the Sad faces on the Left is part of the WINNING.
Go TRUMP!

That was a pretty stupid career move, considering that Carter, Clinton and Obama all used the same basic law passed by Congress.

It would be great to hear Trump call her up and say “Your Fired.”

I wonder if some motivated FBI agents could find SOME federal law that this Obamanoid violated, and bring her to the attention of a friendly US Attorney to be charged with said crime. That’d ruin the rest of her legal career, as she so plainly deserves.

Thanks.

Well then, once approved by committee, immediately bring to a vote. The President needs an AG ASAP!
