Like I said Haig gets remembered by the public at large for the day Reagan got shot which is such a huge disservice to all the good he did for this country. We should all hope McMaster is as good as Haig. Also would Mattis also be in the running for pulling a Haig? Edit: also  if you specced as Melee in this country

Blind Rasputin posted:What's the significance of the Mueller appointment? Because Sessions recused from the Russia investigation, appointed by deputy AG Rosenstein (maybe Trump shouldn't have tried to throw him under the bus re: Comey's firing) Prosecutor most of his career, a bureaucrat (in its best sense) not a politician Beholden to nobody Comey was deputy AG when Mueller was FBI director It was Mueller and Comey who threatened to resign over Bush 2's domestic wiretapping program until some unspecified changes were made to make it less unconstitutional. Mueller backed Comey's play to prevent Alberto Gonzalez and Andrew Card from badgering John Ashcroft on his sickbed to sign off on the domestic wiretapping. The DoJ has promulgated its own rules for special prosecutors. Pertinent parts: quote:(a)Original jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel's investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted. quote:A Special Counsel may request the assignment of appropriate Department employees to assist the Special Counsel. The Department shall gather and provide the Special Counsel with the names and resumes of appropriate personnel available for detail. The Special Counsel may also request the detail of specific employees, and the office for which the designated employee works shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request. The Special Counsel shall assign the duties and supervise the work of such employees while they are assigned to the Special Counsel. If necessary, the Special Counsel may request that additional personnel be hired or assigned from outside the Department. All personnel in the Department shall cooperate to the fullest extent possible with the Special Counsel. quote:Subject to the limitations in the following paragraphs, the Special Counsel shall exercise, within the scope of his or her jurisdiction, the full power and independent authority to exercise all investigative and prosecutorial functions of any United States Attorney. Except as provided in this part, the Special Counsel shall determine whether and to what extent to inform or consult with the Attorney General or others within the Department about the conduct of his or her duties and responsibilities. quote:The Special Counsel may be disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of Departmental policies. The Attorney General shall inform the Special Counsel in writing of the specific reason for his or her removal. E: Mueller's been appointed according to the DoJ rules:

Because he recused himself from the Russia investigation, it's not his call. Check and mate, bitch! And Rosenstein is a bureaucrat (again, in its best sense), not a politician, and Trump already tried to burn him.

This is really big. Apparently Bob Mueller will not be able to be removed by the President. Mueller will be a Civil Servant and will have Civil Service protections. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/864973220654579716 It *appears* it could lead to the Watergate thing that Donnie could order the firing of the dude and then the Attorney General / Deputy Attorney General would have to do it or Donnie could fire them until someone does end up doing the firing. Sort of unclear, but it's not a direct line from Donnie to Mueller.

I don't think we are gonna get lucky, but I would love to see Pence, Ryan and McConnell go down swinging if Trumpster fire goes down. I'm still in shock that these fucks aligned themselves with, and defended that idiot just to pass their agenda. It will be nice to see the trumps and lushness fade off into obscurity though.

Casimir Radon posted:Both McConnell and Gingrich are in their mid-70s. With any luck they'll be dead in a few years. Sexual maturity is reached at around 20–25 years in captivity, possibly 40 years in the wild.[99] Life expectancy in the wild is thought to be over 100 years,[100][101] making it one of the longest-lived species in the animal kingdom. Harriet, a specimen kept in Australia Zoo, was the oldest known Galápagos tortoise, having reached an estimated age of more than 170 years before her death in 2006.[102] Chambers notes that Harriet was probably 169 years old in 2004, although media outlets claimed the greater age of 175 at death based on a less reliable timeline.[103]
