The guy didn’t get fired.....and only Trump could have fired him...so I don’t care what the conversation was...it was sheer “talk” and Rosenstein was not fired. Period!!

The Mueller Report is grasping at straws. They need to say something to get their big fat paychecks from the taxpayers. 35 million is a lot of money for 400 pages of what?

About 10 minutes ago I has reading about Bork and the ‘Saturday Night Massacre’.

Now I know you make a good point. If I read your comment a half an hour ago I would have thought “Huh.” Lol.

Learning is living.

Why is Comey getting no air time? Is he out pi***** on those trees again??

Just remember this....In Comey's memos...Comey tells the President....more than once....that the President could fire him at any time. Why would Comey insert that....

Apparently Trump thought that was a good idea. ;-)

Why doesn’t Hillary come out of her hideaway and address the press? You would think she would like to comment on Mueller?
Maybe she should think about the next investigation. How did the Mueller investigation get started. Let’s Get the Party Started!

Never understood how Trump was that bad a judge of character to have Prince Reibus as his Chief of Staff. Rinse Repeatus is one of the biggest loser kiss-ass RINOs out there.

There is an issue when a lawyer works for the US Government. The Government is his client; not the President or any other official. If the President wants personal legal advice that is subject to attorney-client privilege, he need to hire personal counsel and speak to them in private.

Impeachment has little to do with law, and lots to do with politics, and the Saturday Night Massacre went a long way to sway the politics of it all, as I remember.

It's still a dangerous environment for DJT as far as impeachment goes, but now removal from office is pretty much off the board.

Public sentiment is now the only way to get DJT to resign, and that ain't going well for the dems. It'll worsen when deep state is exposed. A landslide is becoming clearer and clearer.

for the record, Nixons “Saturday Night Massacre” was completely LEGAL!!!!!!...but politically, it was devastating to Nixon and he never recovered. In October of 1973, the Yom Kippur war was started...Soviet troops were massing in the Middle East...and Nixon put U.S. nuclear forces on world wide alert....Nixon gambled that world events and the public was tiring of Watergate and he pulled the trigger....but it backfired badly...the economy began to sour, and he was basically toast the last 10 months of his Presidency.

The fact remains that Trump could have had Mueller fired even after McGahn quit but did not. End of story.

I think he was forced to have him as his COS due to Repubs and Rino’s in order to get support.

I read another article where it said that McGann and his lawyer couldn’t understand why Trump was willing to have McGann speak so freely to special counsel.

McGann and his lawyer said that was odd, as WH counsel usually doesn’t have to cooperate due to client privilege.

McGann and his lawyer felt that Trump was setting up McGann to take the fall for any legal issues down the road regarding obstruction so their strategy was to cooperate with Mueller.

So there you have the reasoning why McGann worked with Mueller.

All we have is McGann’s word that Trump said what he did as far as have Rosenstein fire SC.

Yes, read that article. It was because McGann’s attorney and he thought it was unusual for Trump ton encourage McGann to speak freely with Mueller when usually WH counsel lawyers do not do so as it is considered client privilege to discuss anything that the client and the lawyer talks about.

McGann and his lawyer felt Trump was setting him up to take the fall in case of anything fallout with obstruction charges thus why McGann decided, with his lawyers advice to talk to Mueller.

He stayed on with the WH for six more months after the incident happened.

I hope you’re right and I think you’re right.

I have worked with the public in the People’s Republic of Maryland and I’m starting to see libs wake up. Will it continue, I don’t know.

Fed employees, on the other hand, are really digging in their heels. They’re unhinged.
