President Trump is withdrawing his nomination for former U.S. attorney for D.C. Jessie Liu to serve as the Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial crimes, a top position overseeing economic sanctions, according to two sources with direct knowledge.

The big picture: Liu was confirmed in September 2017 to lead the largest U.S. attorney's office in the country, overseeing a number of politically charged prosecutions that included the case against Trump associates Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and other spinoffs from the Mueller investigation.

Democrats get the White House, and they come in, clean house, and hire people who are willing to fall on the sword for them. Republicans get the White House, and they try to work with democrat holdovers. It never works.

Most Excellent. Trump ain’t playing anymore. I expect Ciamarella will be gone by Friday.

he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.
The swamp will now think twice when it comes to a promotion.
Either sit tight or leave.

Oddest thing I ever saw:

Lou Dobbs just did a piece on her, five minutes later he was interviewing Devin Nunes and Nunes tells Dobbs that Trump just pulled the nomination.

Could Trump have been watching Lou Dobbs?

Unpaid honorary spots on a commission. Spicer I can understand, but not Prepuce (unless it’s a concession to secure strong RNC support in Wisconsin).

If internal investigators ask a question of employees, when is it ok to tell your supervisor “not without my lawyer”?

If you have already quit, they have to schedule your interview rather than just dropping in your office.

MORE: Per a source familiar, Liu was expecting to stay in her position as U.S. attorney through at least her hearing if not her confirmation. But then, unexpectedly, was informed that AG Barr was replacing her w Shea. Today, Trump withdrew her nomination.

Liu would’ve had to testify this week, and likely would’ve had to answer questions about handling of Roger Stone case.

Gang of 8er McConnell knew Obama was spying on candidate Trump in real time. Everything coup related spirals from that single fact.

It’s way past time to clean house from top to bottom. President Trump should begin his second term with no traitors and spies on the payroll at the White House.
