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

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.”

Schumer is always seeing “constitutional crises”. This is at least the tenth “constitutional crisis” from Schumer that I have seen. Didn’t this joker read about the “Boy Who Cried Wolf” when he was a kid? You just can’t take this fool seriously.

“Let them. The Senate will laugh at them”

I think the public will view it as a waste of time that will not enhance Schumer’s reputation

“Schumer being a senator IS a constitutional crisis.”

Schumer, along with most Democrat leaders have committed attrocities that a just society requires punishing with cruel and unusual punishments.

That’s the Constitutional crisis.

The usual protocol is a cabinet member tenders an undated letter of resignation to the President upon selection. When that member's services are no longer needed, the President affixes a date and a polite announcement of the resignation of that member is announced. There is no "firing". A member could certainly inform the President of intention to resign vs being informed after the date was affixed.

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

Amen, Bro. I’m sick & tired of these “fake Americans” and their Consitutional Crisis. Give em a real “Constitutional Crisis” and they’d run like scared puppy dogs.

“Scheme” is too gentle a word. I like “plot”.

Jeff Sessions was obstructing justice by not allowing the release of the documents requested by congress.
