I’m not so sure, Clinton fired all of them on taking office and Bush fired 7......the only issue that makes it significant with Walpin is the Johnson affair

AG's Expected to be replaced by The One

He is an evil marxist. VERY EVIL. YET he puts on a good nice guy act at times when off the cuff. He is evily charismatic.

obama is a pathological narcissist.!!!

Thank you, Senator Grassley.

Usually presidents replace these AG positions at a whim, first thing on taking office.
This is different because of the OBVIOUS motive involved ( which could not likely be proven )

That makes all the difference. This man was fired, because he discovered corruption involving one of the Liberal Messiah's friends. As for proof, have you ever heard of the legal term Res Ipsa Loquitor (It speaks for itself)? Unless another reason is proven, clearly this man was fired as part of a cover-up.

And, the impeachment bill itself would get some media coverage.

I agree impeachment needs to be called for on the merits - politics aside. However it is a matter of the best timing.

Are not the Attorneys general part of the judicial branch ?

the president could just fire any AG he wants and replace them with whoever he wants ( in order to get a Special prosecutor replaced)in order to avoid impeachment . (similar to what happened in the watergate case)

I'm sure no constitutional attorney, but it seems like firing AG's without congressional approval would violate the separation of powers

maybe that's what the White House lawyer meant when he said it was a courageous act to remove Walpin

They were Inspectors General not AGs - but I believe your point is valid nonetheless.

I am desperately hoping that Walpin sues ‘The One’ over his firing

At the rate Obama is going this could become a class action suit.

DOH !...

like I said , I aint no lawyer

[sloop]

special prosecutor - keep calling for a special prosecutor

[hoosiermama]

There is more to the story....search to find the other area he was investigating: University New York CIty/Americorp

LMAO I agree Im glad the bull$hit sarcasm meter was picked up. He has the gay.

Call Dem Senators from Co, Mt,ND,SD,AR,and LA and let them know that their Power is being Usurped. With this and Czars, they are diluting the Legislative branch. They think it is party unity, but look how the executive treats them. Every time they vote with the president they loose power.

Think about it.

[CPT Clay]

Co author of the LAW. He broke it and must be impeached.
