.@POTUS has named Dana Boente, US Attorney for the Eastern District of VA as Acting Attorney General. Sally Yates has been relieved.

Totally Outstanding Action, more of this type of actions will help the Dem's understand who they are dealing with.

Thumbs up! I couldn’t believe this idiot Sally Yates.

[A message]

I love this President!!!!!

“Appointed by Barack Obama”

I hope he was well vetted.

[Enchante]

Obama/Holder guy (well presumably all the US Attys and mid-level DOJ officials are right now)....

Hope they can trust him to do the job until Sessions is in charge!! I would hope he was queried rather directly and intensively about his intentions, but this is all happening so fact I don’t know if there was time for “extreme vetting”....

Take no prisoners DJT.

The Boente Hunter.

Bc the new guy is likely to do the same thing and say he’s not going to enforce. We shall see.

Sally was asking for it with her latest crap. She wanted to go down in flames.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Danger Will Robinson. The Dems are trying to replay Nixon’s Friday Night Massacre.

[Keen-Minded]

No, she knew she would be fired. She just wanted to make a political statement to make Trump look bad.

But, President Trump shows strength and his popularity goes higher. Go Trump!!!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Sally Yates, the now-former acting attorney general, directed DOJ attorneys not to defend Trump's travel ban in courts, supposedly for moral reasons.

But little did she seem to realize that this time, her boss was not typical GOP-e and would not roll over and take it until Sessions was confirmed.

BOOM!

MAGA PING!

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Tnx

[CASchack]

Just wait—Yates will be characterized as a modern day Eliot Richardson. She will probably be given Profiles in Courage award from the Kennedy clan.

Um, yah - but look at it this way - an example has been made, which may be cause for some incentive. The new guy can walk the line or quickly join his predecessor. Trump can keep going down the line until the place gets cleaned out.
