Absolutely. And make sure the “patriotic” staffers are notified that they are prohibited from deleting the contents.

Trump didn’t get it done.

Really? Are you calling Barr a liar? Or saying Trump didn’t fire him today?

I plan to stay focused on Graham. IMHO a deep state RINO is far more dangerous than a Dem to the future of this great country.

Just like the one he gave Bolton. “T” word and all.

It’s somewhat amusing that the AG sends a letter to the SDNY Attorney to explain how the law works.

This is why I always consider attorneys to be worth less than dog sh!t on the bottom of my shoe until they prove otherwise.

You couldn't even fathom two engineers publicly posting such diametrically conflicting views of bridge or highway design.

Didn’t BillyBob fire every single US Attorney within a few days of taking office? And how many did Osama Obama fire?

It is not a question of the President's authority to fire anyone but whether the Attorney General can do so. AG Barr gave Mr. Berman a graceful way out by resigning but Breman chose to act like an ass so AG Barr backed up and asked the President to fire him and he did so. You can't be nice to some people and obviously Mr. Breman is one of those people. No harm, no foul. At least he will not be around to cause problems in any other position.

Trump says he is not involved in the Berman firing.

Trump on Berman: That’s all up to the AG. AG Barr is working on that. That’s his department, not my department but we have a very capable AG so that’s really up to him. I’m not involved.

He probably wasn’t at the time he made the statement but when presented with the choice of supporting his Attorney General or a rouge US Attorney, he chose his Attorney General. Good Choice.

I sure hope you're right...Durham is my last hope to not be disappointed.

President Trump extended declass power to B Barr
Would not be surprised if B Barr got the coveted power to fire deep staters

Durham is not the only one doing the job. There are many that are working behind the scenes. I do think the next few weeks will be tumultuous but the ending will be glorious. The battle is raging.

If I’m understanding the chain of events in the last 24 hours correctly, it sounds like President Trump had nothing to do with Berman’s original separation at all. I’m not sure what that implies.

I am confident that the President was aware of the plan to replace Berman but left the details to his trusted subordinate. Had Berman acted honorably and resigned when requested, the President would not have needed to be involved. When he chose to stage a public spectacle, Berman found he was not as important as he thought he was.

We have a majority to get this out of Committee and to the floor.

You may have a majority but that doesn't necessarily mean you have a majority vote. Linda has a lot of power and if his majority doesn't stick with him.........oh well.
