Demon Of The Fall posted:Trump is shook as hell and he is lashing out because he hates Sessions. I doubt he's thought more past attempting to change the news cycle from the Dem wave. Yes, let's shift the narrative from Dems somewhat winning to my obstruction of justice charges people were forgetting about! That's the ticket!

I know this is probably going to cause the destruction of the US but goddamn I can’t stop laughing at the KKKeebler Elf being the first guy to lick Trump’s boots and just fully debase himself for Trump’s sick pleasure, and now Trump throws his rear end to the curb and stripping him of any power he has. Good riddance you shitstain. May you die alone and a shell of who you think you could have been.

Tibalt posted:It's a stupid thing for Trump to do, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. From the "I want to take over the nation as a fascist dictator" point of view, every day Trump didn't fire Sessions, Rosenstein, and Mueller was a mistake. Mueller can easily be hamstrung by this but given the House it will remain to be seen whether or not this accomplishes anything.

I like how Trump is completely dependent on the Senate's cooperation and just fired their Favorite Racist Elf in a poorly conceived effort to save himself. Just after a painfully bad wave election where it seemed like Trump actually hurt the candidates he campaigned for.

He's the acting AG until they can confirm an appointment. Which they don't ever actually have to do, but it'll probably be Lindsay Graham or someone like that if they bother

So if Mueller is fired and the House picks him to lead an investigation after the new Congress is seated (if they can even do that) would he still have access to all the information he's accumulated, or would he pretty much have to start over?

In a pointless attempt to get ahead of the rampant misinformation about to be spread: If the AG refuses to allow the SCO to pursue some action (indictment, questioning, etc), the SCO is obligated to send a report to Congress.
