What are you talking about? Trump should have requested the resignation of every political appointee from the previous administration on January 20!!! This is expected behavior when a new administration takes office.
A political firestorm? From whom? The news media?
Who friggin' cares? Are you cowed by the reaction of the media? Would it be any worse than it is now?
The media does not run the country - Trump does!!
I agree he should have asked for resignations on January 20. Bannon said he committed an error in trying to ‘unify’ divided factions. That was surely a mistake.
The political firestorm would be Mueller claiming ‘Obstruction of Justice’ if Trump fires Koskinen because Mueller wants to dig into the President’s tax returns.
Regardless, if Trump fires Koskinen now, it would give the dems an issue for the mid-terms. Their base will lap up anything thrown at them.
The chatter is that Koskinen is guilty of misdeeds. Apparently, this information came to the President who needed a witness, That witness was Lerner. In return for dropping charges against Lerner, recorded testimony was obtained from her implicating Koskinen.
Lerner is hated. She is someone that deserves prison time. But she is gone, she’s not in a position to cause the President any trouble, but Koskinen is there and he can cause trouble.
You guys are all like ‘Pickett’s Last Charge’ thinking with your emotions and not your brains.
The real enemies behind Lerner are Mueller and Koskinen. Let Lerner slide and take out Koskinen. Mueller will fold in due time or be dismissed.
