Schumer Warns of Constitutional Crisis After AG Exit
MSN News/ Newsweek ^ | November 7, 2018 | Tim Marcin

Posted on 11/07/2018 1:37:46 PM PST by detective

Upon learning the bombshell news that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was out on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer quickly warned of a constitutional crisis.

A new attorney general must not interfere with the investigation from special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, the New York Democrat warned. Schumer was handed a paper informing him of the Sessions news during a press conference and he told reporters that any tampering the Mueller probe would amount to a "constitutional crisis."

"Protecting Mueller and his investigation is paramount," he said it would create a constitutional crisis if this were a prelude on ending the Mueller probe.”

not a chance, Schumer. The only thing wrong is that Mueller and his lynch mob are still there.

soon to be corrected.
very very soon.
two years overdue, but much better late than never

MAGA!

But since he is WRONG and mueller WAY overreached, it’s NOT a constitutional crisis.

Schumer being a senator IS a constitutional crisis.

As well as nauseating.

I get the impression that Trump is itching for an impeachment fight. He probably figures rather than slow bleed, let’s just get it over with.

Willie Geist on MSNBC earlier today.

“Trump would love to be impeached. It would be the Kavanaugh hearings x1000.”

So from now on whenever a President is elected, there will have to be a concurrent “investigation” during the entirety of his or her term of office.

In order to avoid a “crisis?”

Chuck U Schumer ...

Please ... please ... please Mr Trump, do NOT fill that vacancy with a R senator. Any senator is a politician first and a R patriot next.

The AG needs to be a hard-nosed brawler with an American flag tattooed on his fore ... head.

A new or acting AG, lacking the claimed conflict of interest of Sessions in the campaign, does not need a special counsel. The reason for Mueller just disappeared.
