.@POTUS has named Dana Boente, US Attorney for the Eastern District of VA as Acting Attorney General. Sally Yates has been relieved.
LOL
I just heard this nit wit refused to carry out her oath from some friends on the left, who were trying to make the case that people in Trump’s own administration opposed him.
I just laughed and pointed out the word “Appointed” tells me she is a place holder and I doubt she is working there before sunrise.
Weird, how I think and stuff just happens.
>> Trump has the authority to fire Yates, but ..as top Senate confirmed official at DOJ, she is the only 1 authorized to sign FISA warrants”
> I don’t think this is true. Anyone know?
White house guy on Tucker this evening said there are many appointees at Justice who can sign. No problem.
SWEET!

THANK YOU!
...And come to think of it, Lynch was confirmed by the Senate.
Not afraid to make decision is he?
Why does he have to be using Obama appointees?
BTW, no one needs to get excited by her firing.
She already had a job offer and manufactured this baloney...
Awesome move.
Crack the whip. Keep tossing the commies out.
No the dems are using Senate procedural rules to delay.
note to republicant’s.. this is what a RepubliCAN looks like.. He Republi CANNed her ass..
Crud, he’s an 0bama appointee.
Probably chosen on purpose! takes away the fainting couch/smelling salts from the left
Yates was fine with DoJ flagrantly violating immigration law by Obama EO but wouldn’t follow Trump directive to follow 2011 law voted by Schumer and signed by BHO
“The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.”

BIFF! BAM! KAPOW! OUCH!
I assume it is temporary, and I would think that Trump consulted with Sessions on this, both the firing and the hiring of Boente.
Wait until they find out Trump is really Pinochet.
Because the RATS are delaying Sessions confirmation
What a step in the right direction that would be. So sick of those two...Lou Dobbs read their pedigrees on his show tonight, and rightly so.
