  1. The soon to be speaker is quite the Joker.

    No way Trump didn’t ensure the replacement would stay in to muck up the investigation.

    Would be hilarious if he did, but trump actually found someone with less integrity than Sessions.

    It’s so nice, so relieving, to read statements like this knowing that there will soon again be a stick behind them. They’re not statements made merely to sound pretty or impressive.

    And Donald Trump has never dealt with that before! It is gonna get dumb.

  3. Any lawyers around to speak to the legality of someone who has not be confirmed by the Senate to hold a cabinet level position after the previous office holder was fired? Under these circumstances isn’t the law that the DAG becomes Acting AG until a replacement can be confirmed?
