Good for Trump getting rid of all these people. If they can’t offer comments for the administration and support the administration, then they need to leave.

Jessie is one Deep State bad apple .....

Former U.S. Attorney for DC, Jessie Liu, is scheduled for a Senate confirmation hearing this upcoming Thursday at 10:00am. There’s also an unreported background story connected to the DOJ, Rod Rosenstein and Ms. Liu so controversial, it’s as big as Spygate.

In the event any Senator on the approval committee would be brave enough to question the participant here’s the story (continue at link):
