Adam Schiff: The Tearing Down of Our Justice Department ‘Is Going to End’
breitbart ^ | Nov 7th | Pam Key

Posted on 11/07/2018 5:03:41 AM PST by dennisw

Tuesday night on MSNBC’s midterm election coverage, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said now that Democrats control the House of Representatives, President Donald Trump will not be able to tear down of the independence of the Justice Department.

Schiff said, “The chances that Bob Mueller will be able to finish his work improved for the reason that our committee and others, like the government reform committee and the judiciary committee, which under Republican leadership served as basically surrogates for the president in their efforts to batter down the Justice Department, to give the president a pretext to fire people at the Justice Department, all of that tearing down of the independence of these these intuitions, is going to end. Now that doesn’t mean that the president can’t still act in ways that are antithetical to the rule of law and the interest of justice, but it does mean we’re better able to protect our institutions and see this investigation, I hope, complete.”

“adipocere”

I admit, I had to look that one up. Good call.

I got the original comment from a Connery Swipes movie of long ago. In it, Connery quotes an alleged Chinese proverb to whit: if you sit by the river long enough, the body of your enemy will float by.

Trump needs to dump Sessions NOW and get a real AG in. Enough already.

I fear that there is not going to be a full congressional recess so Trump can make interim appts.

55 Republicans in the senate. All tabulations have not been completed. It could be 59.

Hey Adam,

When Trump appoints a REAL AG and the Senate approves, HOW DO YOU STOP HIM FROM CLEANING HOUSE?

Would it be a coverup or would be CYA? Seems to me all these bombshell reports, people going to jail for corruption etc always seem to disappear just when something is supposed to happen.

Coincidence? I think not. Congress covers Congresses ass every time.

There has to be. The 115th Congress is over.

I don't think there has ever been a case where a Congress kept in session until the day before the new Congress begins, and then adjourns at 11:59am so the new congress can convene at 12:01pm.

There will be at least a week, perhaps two, between the end of the 115th Congress and the start of the 116th Congress. That is Trump's unique window of opportunity.

“...A complete idiot elected by complete idiots.....”

Agree. But there are many. I mean the MadMaxiePad at the head of Finance??? An old black woman without enough brains to run a kid’s lemonade stand at the head of Finance??? Only in America. A corrupt RAT that enriched herself off the backs of her constituency and the very country itself....she should be investigated, prosecuted and jailed.

And Trump has a more agreeable Senate to do it. To confirm his nominees. To clean out DOJ and reform it. Make it into his tool, same as Obama.

DC is conquered territory. The land of laws foreign to our ways. Enemies of USConstitution, red and blue. Clearly 51% of USAians live off DC, either jobs or handouts. We-The-People are their forced laborers; we need to do as we are told, by DC.
