The dynamic duo was probably worried about the optics of firing a US Attorney that was personally after them. So yeah, one could see them firing them all, just as a smoke screen.

To answer your question - CNN was mortified and pearl clutching

Gergan and the Muslim (Zakaria) were incensed ... and said that the acting AG was basically the most pure bureaucrat ...

And DT was the evil for firing her

If Sally Yates married Norman Bates, she’d be Sally Yates–Bates in 50 states.

Newsmax (Formerly Human Events) political guru John Gizzi thinks Yates will run for Governor of GA. Which leads me to think that was an ulterior aim in her defying the President and thus leaving no option but to can her butt. And we see why the rats are holding up the Cabinet confirmations. All part of the plan. CONFIRM THEM ALL NOW!!

Gizzi sounded worried about the prospect of her running.

Meanwhile I’m sure GA Republicans are crapping themselves in fear at the prospect of running against Ms. Refugee lover, cause Georgia just loves Muzzie refugees. I’m sure she’d do much better than Jimmy Carter’s grandson.

Yeah, I was wondering why Gizzi sounded concerned. Yates might get away with such a stance in a moonbat state, but not Georgia. She’s like Abortion Barbie in Texas, only with illegals and Mohammadans (well, abortion, too).

“Hi, I’m Sally Yates and I’m running to be your Governor. I’ve fought to defy a President, ignore the Constitution and flood our country with deranged lunatics who rape, kill, and mass-murder. I’m going to take my values to Atlanta and hope you’ll support me !”

(BTW, it would be fun, if only for 5 minutes, to see a Gov. Sally Yates have the state Attorney General disregard her directives and watch her scream like a stuck pig at his “defiance.” Of course, in GA, the AG is actually accountable to the voters).

Our real side will not crumble.

The pearl clutching Never Trumpsters will flip out.

However, they were never really on our side.

They just pretended to be, in Congress and on the internet.
