Activists threatened mass protests if Rod Rosenstein is removed from the Mueller investigation

For nearly as long as FBI special counsel Robert Mueller has been investigating Russian election meddling, activists have been planning mass protests.

Hundreds of protests across the US, organized by MoveOn and other progressive groups, are planned to begin if Trump fires Mueller or deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, who appointed him. They would also begin if the president prevents the investigation from being “conducted freely,” MoveOn says.

Today, those fears may have been realized when Trump asked attorney general Jeff Sessions for his resignation. Sessions, who had recused himself from the investigation, will be replaced by Matt Whitaker, a former US Attorney who has opposed the Russia investigation from the start. Whitaker is reportedly taking control of the probe from Rosenstein.

Whitaker is reportedly taking control of the probe from Rosenstein.

I missed that part in the news release. That means Muller has to brief Whitaker . And Whitaker gets to decide if he wants to release any or all of the report.

Trump is so smart ...

if the SorozNazi-type “activists” don’t want him removed,
that’s all the MORE REASON to retire him NOW!

plus, I am sick and tired of these Nazi-style “activists’ always threatening us and trying to intimidate, scare, force bad or dangerous policies or actions on us

this is not how our system of governance is supposed to operate

it is, however, just how the Weimar Republic was brought down by the fore-bearers of these thugs

Next step: expose George $oro$ as the funder of the MoveOn / Antifa goons. If any violence breaks out, arrest the perpetrators and force $oro$ to bail them out.

Wow....this appears to have been well thought out, i.e., everyone thought Rosenstein would jump into Sessions shoes.

Now...about Whitaker's appointment...does he have to be "approved"?

[ Activists threatened mass protests if Rod Rosenstein is removed from the Mueller investigation ]

What sort of violence are the Democrats planning this time around? The usual stuff?

Let’s see... Sessions steps down, his Chief of Staff takes over the DOJ and Mueller’s investigation... nothing to see here, is there...

Activists can’t survive without a cause. Been that way for years. It’s the only way they can be noticed but, ha ha ha, those who notice them think they’re ridiculous.

Whitaker is on record of wanting to defund the probe. Undoubtedly he will start axing the budget and limiting the scope. Trump isn’t going to remove Rosenstein. He just not going to give them any money.

The “activists” are useful idiots, this is a full-court press by some very heavy players. Hope security for Whitaker and family is three deep with active communications.

next is classifying antifa as terrorists and opening an investigation on the collusion to silence all conservatives on social media two months from midterms.

Whitaker gets to ask Mueller the question if where the indictments for Clinton colluding with Russia are...

Next step is to declare ANTIFA a terroist organization. Anyone who supports or provides material comfort is an accompanist.
