This whole charade is actually devastating the progress of the administration and making a mockery of the law.

It is.
In the back of our minds (and sometimes the front) things actually ARE what we always suspected - only we tried to ignore / dismiss these thoughts as paranoia.
There really IS a group of anti-American leftists attempting to oust our President because they either want their party to control our country - or they will be just as happy to ruin it. Standing up against them are our mighty congressmen - 99% of whom are just as corrupt as our “justice” officials. Standing up against THEM are our Judges - most of whom seem to be a laughable bunch of narcissistic jack-offs who don’t care ANYTHING about the law, but EVERYTHING about advancing their leftist agenda. And, as a last line of defense, exposing all of this corruption and law-breaking, if our fearless media... and, gee, how about that, they’re all corrupt leftists as well. But that’s okay! Down the road, our young people will rise up, because . . . oh, wait, no they won’t, because schools have bee liberal indoctrination centers for decades, churning out a bunch of robotic pseudo-fascist Hoggs or worthless snowflakes to battle the forces named above.

Oh the bright side, we do have the President.

...The major functions of the DAG are to:

Exercise all the power and authority of the Attorney General unless any such power or authority is required by law to be exercised by the Attorney General personally...

...Be responsible for all DOJ attorney personnel matters, including final action in matters pertaining to the employment, separation, and discipline...

why don't you engage in honest, frank discussion

I think because it's more amusing to provoke you into feverish little outbursts of manlove.

That's just my take.

Anyone know who’s in charge of investigating Comey for giving his law professor buddy classified memos to leak? Congress already made the refferal to DOJ. Slam dunk case.

It’s been about a year since Comey comitted that publicly admitted crime. Why hasn’t he been arrested for it?

It happened in DC.

principal deputy assistant attorney general

The guy's clearly a schmuck. No one with a wit of self-respect goes around with a job title like that or accepts a job with a title like that. He is principal gofer.

The only “Conservative” who has ever come out of that judicial district is Rudy Giuliani, who was a registered Democrat until age 40.

Andy McCarthy.

Not legal to fire civil servants outright, need to go through a process involving hearings.

There exist decent competent civil servants but it’s sometimes difficult to see which ones they are because everyone’s service jacket looks similar. There are other ways to weed things out but it takes time. Looks like the Trump Camp has made a lot of progress since a year ago.

O'Callaghan will replace Robert Hur, who is taking Rosenstein's old job as the U.S. Attorney in the District of Maryland.

Maryland is where there is currently a grand jury indictment of a non Deep State player, in the current Uranium One whitewash. It's also where the then US Attorney Rod Rosenstein whitewashed Uranium One in 2015.

It's the Fox guarding the hen house still.

It's Deep State Rod Rosenstein in charge while Sessions is recused.

"I also want to thank Robert Hur for serving as the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. His counsel was invaluable over the past ten months and I look forward to seeing him thrive as the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland."

Sure Rod, I bet you do.

Re: Andrew McCarthy

Yes - I remembered that about 5 minutes after I posted.

McCarthy is the only reason I visit National Review Online.

Elf lied to Trump about Russia recusal, which was not even necessary based on existing protocol. Trump has already said, he wouldn’t have nominated elf if he had told him he was going to recuse himself.

Then elf has no guts to reign in the witch hunt by Mulehead.

Elf has no guts to fire Rosenstein who signed to phony FISA warrants.

Elf has nothing significant legislation to his name during long years in senate. He was napping on the senate bench.

In my honest opinion, elf is the worst pick by DT for cabinet position.

Incorrect.

Andrew C. McCarthy III (born 1959) is an American columnist for National Review. He served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Re: Andrew McCarthy

Yes, I goofed, as several other Comments have pointed out.

I read everything McCarthy writes at NRO, so that makes it doubly embarrassing.
