Does Trump choose these people on his own

No, mcconnelle does. He has used the senate's advise and consent role to hamstring Trump.

This country is dead. It has the name but America is too far gone from its founding. If Obama,Biden and Clinton and their ilk are not punished,then we are truly finished as a nation. The left owns it. Obamagate and Coronagate has done what our enemies dream of. We are our worst enemy.

May as well begin preparing for CWII, then. If Obama and his like aren't dealt with, they will still be out there fomenting chaos in this country regardless of whether a few low-level flunkies end up being jailed. The Left will never back down.

The corpse is being stripped. Washington DC is picking over the carcass, “getting theirs” and getting out.

But Trump has the power to fire...right? One of the reasons this entire Russian Collusion hoax snowballed was due to the inaction of Sessions! Trump should’ve fired his A$$ early on, but didn’t! I’m beyond sick of all the excuses on why Trump couldn’t fire Sessions!

Obama did the one thing that a President can do that CANNOT BE IGNORED: He turn the power of his government against a political rival or successor, which undermined the peaceful transfer of power and diluted the full effectiveness of a person elected by WE THE PEOPLE. Former President or not, this CANNOT BE IGNORED!!!!!!!!! It strikes at the very heart of what makes this country free. NO LAME A$$ EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bagpipes doesn't get all that.

Some people are above the law.

Democrats said no one was above the law.

Yes!
If you truly want to destroy the SNAKE that has injected so much deadly poison into our Free Republic, it is much safer to NOT grab it by the “head” and, instead, cut off what is just behind it.
Eventually, the stench of the ROTTEN head will overcome the fear of the “poison” in its fangs, and people will be more willing and able to admit to being angered and digusted by it, and everything to which it was connected.

That is just what today’s “justice” looks like.

The “justice” system now the “legal system” is only applied to little people.

Durham needed all the extra time to ease those slime bags out of the way.

So Trump can do the same thing - use the FBI and CIA against political rivals

Sure, and it only cost one article of impeachment for every one he fires. That means he takes his chances of being removed every time he does. You people tend to forget, or ignore, the fact the gopE wants Trump gone as much as the dnc.

“Well so much for Obamagate.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch should feel very relieved.

Gowdy had another Fox interview. Unbelievably, one his defenses for lack of substantive Congressional oversight of Wray’s dishonest 2017 briefing to the House was “Trump picked him.” The GOP basically has washed their hands of POTUS. And us, of course.

““As for President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement based on what I know, I don’t expect Durham’s work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man,”

Barr’s statement aligns with your perspective. Key words are “...based on what I know, I don’t expect ....”. Had he said that “the investigation is ongoing, I cannot comment” ... the left’s hysteria would have been set off.

That being said, at this stage of the game, 3+ years of abuse of government institutions to go after POTUS, I expect nothing of substance will be done. The government in all 3 branches are protecting itself, not the freedoms and rights of Americans. I’d never thought I would ever have to write such a thing.

Thank you.
I hope—and PRAY—that the passion Barr displayed when he flat out said that the investigation of Trump was “a TRAVESTY of justice” is a sign that the investigation he and Durham are conducting is bearing fruit by exposing many of the ROTTEN APPLES attached to the Obama administration!
Yet, I think it is very wise that they—and Trump— do NOT go hard after Obama himself. He is and will always be “the first Black president”, and attacking him directly would be a YUGE political mistake which could backfire—BIGLY!
