On Monday, Byung J. “BJay” Pak, whom Trump had appointed as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia in 2017, unexpectedly told colleagues he was stepping down. On Tuesday, officials announced that Christine would take over for Pak, bypassing Pak’s top deputy, who otherwise might have moved into the job by default.

Won’t matter, Biden will fire them all when he comes in office later this month. Something Trump should’ve done four years ago.

What's up in Hotlanta? Can't be much considering the new guy's out of a job in 11 days.

Something Trump should’ve done four years ago. He did. Every U.S. Attorney in the country is Trump's appointee.
To: blueplum
if every U.S. Attorney were like Bobby Christine, the system would be a lot better.

What a strange way to interpret this. Could he possibly just be looking for the truth, or maybe be on a mission to prove to 10s of millions of Americans that this was a legitimate election? That wouldn’t fit their narrative, would it?

When your only pool of resources is a swamp, you only have swamp creatures to choose from. Blind as you are, even you should be able to see that. But judging by your posting history, you are fine with the hell that is about to come down on us all.

Think about that statement. They would rather allow election fraud than Trump be right. That one tiny statement speaks thousands of words as to the terrible state the country is in BECAUSE OF THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA.

Raising fears among who? The writers? This kind of BS reporting is becoming standard.

It’s not reporting.
It’s acting.
They read pre-packaged deep state scripts.
Just like Johnny Bravo, they fit the deep state suit.
