HEY SHIFTY!!! That’s what Dan Bongino calls him. Trump better start declassifying and giving Devin Nunes what he wants before the new Congress comes in, in January.

Shifty Shifty Shifty as in Shifty eyed.

[AndyJackson]

Schiftless forgot that they didn’t take the Senate.

[ModelBreaker]

Shift the hearings to the Senate and ramp them up.

Firing Rosenstein and Sessions much easier. with 54 Senate Seats, confirmation is pretty easy for a hardass trump loyalist. Then start putting the deep state in jail.

[Lockbox]

No Adam, you will get the Holder and Rosenstein treatment! See how you like it!

...the judiciary committee, which under Republican leadership served as basically surrogates for the president...

Translation: "The Judiciary Committee will now act as a surrogate to protect the Deep State..."

[cowboyusa]

Let the overreach begin.

[JustTheTruth]

The Schiff coverup continues on steroids.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The first thing the GOP needs to do is start investigating Bugsy and find a way of getting his commie ass thrown out of Congress.

“Adam Schiff: The Tearing Down of Our Justice Department ‘Is Going to End’”

Okay Schiff face....Do you think you can hide behind the very thin layer that the AG has been protecting democrats from prosecution...Because now that Trump has a better than 51-49 majority in the Senate I can assure you that Sleepy Sessions is out and a frothing at the mouth pit fighter will replace him and Rosenweasel will be out and Mueller will leave before the AG gets turned on him for Russia One and other nefarious things he was involved in. The Senate can investigate too…So keep that in mind.

Stand by MFer!!!

This bug eyed bass turd is a waste of human skin! Apologies to all Bass.

The Schiff Clown Show is about to do to the House what the Kavanaugh hearings did to the Senate.

[Political Junkie Too]

Trump needs to act as if 2019 is the only thing that matters.

Trump needs to build up a defense against the Democrats going after him via impeachment, leaking his taxes, and using Mueller to dirty him up for 2020.

To do this, he should do the following:

1. As soon as the 115th Congress adjourns sine die, Trump should fire Sessions (or accept his resignation), and fire Rosenstein.
2. Trump should recess appoint a bulldog, a fighter, a person who doesn't want a Beltway career, and who is willing to make the tough calls the way that Sessions wouldn't. Somebody outspoken, like Jeanine Pirro who appeared on stage with Trump, might be a good choice. This appointment would expire at the end of 2019, so would be immune to Senate interference for the duration.
3. Trump should nominate a replacement for Rosenstein through the normal Senate process. Let the Senate Republican Judiciary Committee members like Lindsey Graham have a platform to counter House Democrats investigating Trump, like Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Jerry Nadler.
4. The new Attorney General should immediately take control of the Mueller investigation, demanding an immediate briefing by Mueller, and potentially shutting down the investigation outright. Let the 55 Republicans in the Senate deal with Democrat howls of obstruction, since 2019 is going to be about all-out war with the Democrats. It's best in the short term to take this weapon off the table now.
5. The new Attorney General can also take a harder line on illegal immigration actions to counter Democrat obstruction of border security.
6. In 2020 when the recess appointment expires, Trump can formally nominate a permanent Attorney General and give Republicans another Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing to campaign from going into the 2020 election. Set the Democrats up for a repeat of their 2018 performance and show voters again what their choices are.

What he means is that he will protect the DOJ as an extension of the DNC. Its nice to have a friendly DOJ partner in your corner.

[freedumb2003]

They don’t have any say in the matter.

[freedumb2003]

[dontreadthis]

can Trump get DiGenova in there as AG right now?

[Wuli]

Just what is the speaker of the house going to do? Without the Senate any legislative scheems of the Dims are kaput and Trump can do as Obama did and just sit on subpoenas from Nancy.

[lurk]

Mr Schiff is very happy with himself; not sure why. Mr Trump can now excuse Mr Sessions and appoint a game-changer as AG.

[a fool in paradise]

How independent was Eric Withholder’s DOJ
How independent was Bobby Kennedy’s DOJ

FUNP

[high info voter]

We he meant: “Yes we must put an end to exposing the corruption in the swamp portions of the DOJ(sic) and the FBI..... that’ll keep my a$$ from getting caught!”
