Didn't he just lose to Ted Cruze?🤔
A special counsel appointed by a senior DOJ official operates within the DOJ and does not answer to Congress. If Pelosi wants to change his role, she can go back and introduce a new independent counsel statute like the one that Congress allowed to expire back in 1999.
Fine print was “only if the National Debt is paid off and a FReeper wins the big lotto jackpot. Otherwise Rosenstein stays.”
Too bad on all counts.
This is one of those times when the continuing issue is far more important than its resolution. Sure, it costs to keep this ornament in place, but it keeps shining a light on the way it is being propagated, and who is behind its continued existence.
The inquiry has wandered a long way away from its original purpose, which was to determine if there had been any interference in US elections by foreign powers, specifically Putin and the Russian Federation.
There is a great deal of fertile ground upon which to proceed with this investigation, only, the focus has to be changed a little. As nothing, NOTHING, has been turned up linking the Team Trump in any way with actual collusion, and certainly no criminal activity, and there are definitely signs that collusion has taken place, follow a few of those crumb trails. Inevitably, they lead back to the Clinton Family Foundation, and its majority stockholders, A whole new series of questions then arises - who funded what, and when? And if any of these links of collusion cross over into criminal activity?
Once that tack was taken, the Democrats would be calling for a shutdown in fifteen minutes. Is that the door they want opened?
I believe that's already the law. All depends on what you define as "due cause".
Let’s see .. the dems’ logic:
Sessions = acceptable passivity
The new acting AG = he is not passive and he does not care for mueller, so he must go.. we’ll call for him to recuse.
Trump is not the spineless GOP.. he’s not about to be stuck with another AG who does nothing and lets you dems run the fake made up show. Figure something else out... you can’t weaken him, by attacks... haven’t you figured that out yet?
You want all the cards out in your favor.. not going to happen with Trump
Trump should promise to fire Mueller if he doesn’t get his wall funding. He has leverage and should use it.
Could he be holding off until 2019 ish?4
Boobus Americanus failed its national IQ test when they elected these Rats.
I agree. Trump has done nothing to interfere with Mueller. It’s a manufactured fear of the left and RINOs.
If Trump wanted to stop Mueller in his tracks he could with one press conference, or maybe a tweet.
“I like to thank Bob Mueller for helping me unmask several deep state operatives and exposing their crimes against the country. Many have now been removed from their positions and more to come. I look forward to the continued partnership with my friend Bob.”
that’s funny...
“What doesn’t make sense is why Trump would wait until after the election to declassify the FISA reports or drop any bombshells...”
The decision came sooner when President Trump announced his intention to declassify. There’s risk in it and Rod Rosenstein made an implicit threat there would be an obstruction of justice charge for the release.
So President Trump decided not to honor the request by Congress at that time and handed it over to DOJ IG Michael Horowitz who is already working on his DOJ IG FISA report.
That pushed the matter beyond the midterms, kept the issue clean for Rat usage and also kept the focus on messaging of proven issues before November.
He is no longer overseeing the witch-hunt. He is sitting in his office....
I hope it’s something to shut the Obama’s up.
I think he held on to it knowing we would lose the House. Now he has something to hold over their heads when they start their investigations.
Just when you think a Republican Congress is run by the biggest bunch of feckless asshats around, Democrats seize control and prove that statement wrong.
He once disagreed with a Democrat, therefore he's hopelessly biased and must recuse himself.

Trump hasn’t made a sound, or a move, about firing Mueller.
It’s a dem fantasy, just like they said Kavenaugh would “outlaw abortion”, when not a word was spoken, and Kavenaugh had no discernible history about Roe V Wade.
It’s all democrat “make it up as you go” crap, business as usual for them.
Trump should play “rope-a-dope” with them.
By what authority do the Dems have at this time to demand anything? This throwing their weight around prematurely serves only to intimidate potential challengers within their party for as of yet unelected leadership positions.
“I hope it’s something to shut the Obama’s up.”
Well, not for a while. They’ll be screaming like banshees for quite a while.
Harder to hear ‘em when they are in a federal pen though.
