Trump/Russia/SDNY investigation
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
are we expecting fireworks today or do we have to wait for friday?
Can't they get them from the IRS?
They can subpoena them
can Trump take it to the SC?
someone's upset with FOX.Hard to keep up with all of this
A girl I work with worked for one of Banks companies a while ax and she said he’s one of the most odious men she has ever had the displeasure of meeting and all this comes as no surprise.
His current press conference is incredibly entertaining
Fox saying Sessions is out
AG Kobach coming up
Sessions can now return to his full time job & help Santa wrap the Xmas gifts.
Also, quite clear that someone else wrote that tweet for the orange cnut.

Surely, he can't be this brazen about getting rid of Sessions and appointing another AG to fire Mueller? Well, maybe he can 
Yeah Mueller's gone.
The House will take over investigations.

BBC reporting Sessions was fired, and didn't resign.

So can Trump basically get away with getting in a compliant AG who will get rid of Mueller or rein him in
Mueller will be ready to launch his investigation ASAP. He won't give them time to sack him
I wonder when it's going to dawn on him that his poll numbers are quite similar to that, but he thinks they're the best of the best among presidents.
Confirmed that Sessions was asked to offer his resignation, which is essentially a soft firing.
Yeah, he was fired.
Rosenstein soon to go as well. Could Trump be any more corrupt? Imagine if he kept the House.
Is this enough to trigger the mass protests? Or has the fear gone away now that the house can just hire Mueller? (which would of course help Donnie's calls this has been partisan all along.. FFS)
That won't be for another couple of months. And you nailed it with the bit in brackets. Trump can do whatever the feck he wants and nobody will care for more than 5 minutes before the next thing happens. USA is essentially a banana republic. Like what they did with Acosta for example
and what went on in Georgia.
Yep the undermining of democratic norms under Trump has only accelerated. I'm wondering whether US democracy survives Trump or whether all following Presidents follow his lead.
He wasn't silenced for crying out loud. Trump answered two questions of his, which considering how many journos were there, it is more than fair. Acosta acted like a cnut there, taking time from his colleagues, did he thought that he was in a debate with Trump?
Why does USA have no effective separation of powers
Would you not class “forcibly removing a microphone” from a journalist “silencing” them.
Acosta acted like journalists have acted since time began. There is other ways to deal with that sort of questioning.
I think Rosenstein still has a part to play in this. If he’s offering his resignation this easily, I have a feeling that he’s going to be a witness to obstruction of justice and as such would have had to recuse himself anyway.
I can’t believe I’m disappointed in Jeff Sessions getting fired.
So much celebration in the replies to that tweet.
You're looking at it with rose-tinted glasses. Sessions 'offered his resignation' and was told to by Trump. It'll be same story with Rosenstein.
The Founding Fathers were simply far too intelligent for this lot. It’s not functioning as intended.
Surely the strength of a constitution is that when it is under pressure from wannabe despots it comes to the fore and prevents that from happening. If the founding fathers were so intelligent surely they would have crafted the constitution to be more impregnable to such perversion.
