Schumer Warns of Constitutional Crisis After AG Exit
MSN News/ Newsweek ^ | November 7, 2018 | Tim Marcin

Posted on 11/07/2018 1:37:46 PM PST by detective

Upon learning the bombshell news that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was out on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer quickly warned of a constitutional crisis.

A new attorney general must not interfere with the investigation from special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, the New York Democrat warned. Schumer was handed a paper informing him of the Sessions news during a press conference and he told reporters that any tampering the Mueller probe would amount to a "constitutional crisis."

"Protecting Mueller and his investigation is paramount," he said it would create a constitutional crisis if this were a prelude on ending the Mueller probe.”

Eat dirt and die Schumer. Now we KNOW why you guys were satisfied with Sessions...he could do NOTHING to stop Mueller. Want to see you all in prison.

Schumer says, “Constitutional crisis” all the time. Everything is a Constitutional crisis for him. It’s like when everything is racist, nothing is racist.

And McConnell still says to Chuckie, “I’m Majority Leader ... and you’re not.”

Great, then Schumer, create the Constitutional Crisis. One is long, long overdue after the Kenyan usurped the government and weaponized the Deep State (with his foreign socialist allies).

Let’s have a real Constitutional Crisis and end this sick charade once and for all.

Shut up Schumer. Democrats in the Senate got their a$$es kicked last night. You’re an even more minority leader than you were yesterday.

What crisis?

Any President should be free to make his selections or realignments in his Cabinet as needed.

Schumer would benefit by trying to hold a job in the private sector for a couple of years. He’s clearly unhinged.

I thought it was a big deal if Sessions “resigned” or was “fired” as to who could be the Acting AG...

CNN is trying ti make the point that he was fired

Democrats have televisions. They have been watching the Trump rallies. They can add-up the attendance.

They do NOT want a constitutional crisis. Believe me.

He was fired.

His resignation letter says Trump asked for his resignation. Ergo he was fired.

He DESERVED to be fired.

The President has the power to fire anyone in the executive branch whenever he wants. Since when is following the Constitution a Constitutional Crisis?

"Paramount?" Or Permanent?!

The thing has gone on a completely unreasonable length of time, already. At some point it morphs into sedition--hardly a Constitutional proceeding.

I wonder if a visit by a few Bikers for Trump would have a calming effect on Senator Schumer.
