Democrat says moves that upend Russia probes will spark ‘constitutional crisis’

Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin warned President Trump and his GOP allies on Sunday not to use a bombshell memo on the FBI’s snooping powers to upend independent probes into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign, saying it could spark a “constitutional crisis.”

Mr. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said he’s concerned that Mr. Trump will use the Republican-drafted memo to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the scope of the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russia’s actions and whether the Trump campaign coordinated with the foreign actors.

Durbin and other Dems' advice is getting tiresome. He says all evidence must be explored but the first step is making sure it's legitimate evidence and therein lies their problem.

Durbin, Maxine and others always warning about a “constitutional crisis.” It is indeed getting tiresome.

#LockThemUp then #LockThemUp again.

People need to serve very long sentences in prison and possibly capital punishment over what has been happening. Start from Obama and work your way down. They are enemies of the United States and it’s constitution. They should be treated as such.

These liberal idiots think you can just go around telling the Pres how to do his job. Rosenstein is one of the bad guys.

Start with Obama’s illegal emails to Hillary and end with lying to a FISA judge. We are in a Constitutional crisi.

What is it with these people “warning” this President?

You all threw everything at him but the kitchen sink and are still trying to destroy him.

TRUMP. OWES. YOU. NOTHING.

Along with all accusations being "credible".

Turbin and the rest of the Dems are playing the usual delay game, putting up obstacles and hindering full disclosure on this matter. He knows the evidence against his party is massive. Yes, we know the media is helping to cover up for them and the GOP is spineless with some complicity too, but at some point they won’t be able to hold back the tide of truth. I’m probably being far too optimistic, but corruption on this scale can’t go unpunished forever!

According to Q, they are hoping the memo will remove Rosenstein which will bring an end to the Mueller investigation. After that, sessions will be reinstated.

Durbin should worry more about Chiraq and less about POTUS.
