Scoop: Trump pulls nomination for former U.S. attorney for D.C. to Treasury post
AXIOS ^ | 11 FEBRUARY 2020 | AXIOS

President Trump is withdrawing his nomination for former U.S. attorney for D.C. Jessie Liu to serve as the Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial crimes, a top position overseeing economic sanctions, according to two sources with direct knowledge.

The big picture: Liu was confirmed in September 2017 to lead the largest U.S. attorney's office in the country, overseeing a number of politically charged prosecutions that included the case against Trump associates Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and other spinoffs from the Mueller investigation.

What is astonishing to me is the patience that Trump and Barr have shown in waiting these folks out and feeding out all the rope they needed to hang themselves. How did Trump resist all of this time not swatting just one of this idiot AHs? Not one. I would have done it if only to keep up the spirits.

The man has more discipline and self-control than anyone I have known. And he hides it by being impulsive and bombastic when it doesn't matter.

Trump has duped them all.

Sun Tzu could have written a book on Trump. Hell, he could study and learn how a master does it.

Wow. Just read the entire document....just wow. The American people have no idea how devious and deep this attempted coup was...is...and who is involved. Very distressing that seems they will get away with this...imho, largely thanks to the media.

And, now we have to worry that many young people in our great country are swallowing the garbage fed to them by Dem candidates who want to turn America into a socialist country.

God help America and protect our President.

If they absolutely hang about 50 of these people young folks will see how they. Have been lied to and that’s why you do it in public. How is what these people tried to do different than what Booth did to Lincoln?

It would be fun to see PDJT tweet a quote from his book.

Why am I not surprised that Lou Dobbs turns out to be a better journalist than Bret Baier?
