Trump fires acting AG after Justice Department staff told not to defend refugee order
Fox News.com ^ | January 30, 2017

President Donald Trump relieved acting Attorney General Sally Yates of her duties Monday night after she directed Justice Department attorneys not to defend Trump's controversial executive refugee and immigration ban.

Yates, a holdover from the Obama Administration, was replaced as acting attorney general by Dana Boente, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Yates had "betrayed the Justice Department" by refusing to enforce Trump's order, which temporarily halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days.

At a normal law firm being fired for insubordination is a career ending choice. There will be many liberal lawyer looking for jobs. Competition will be fierce. Wonder if she has any experience flipping burgers !

“So, is there disagreement with President Trump’s team or media hype. Don’t like the tone of news, even from Fox. The pile on today from all these folks, acting AG, State folks, Obama, and people in Congress is almost like a coup. Where is McConnell showing some leadership to back President Trump?”

Ditto. I saw Krauthammer and Rove on O’Reilly, and they both came off as angry, mentally ill anti-Trumpers.

I wonder who the Trump team used with the Department of Justice to assist in writing the EO?

I wonder if it was this guy?

Remember that the transition team has been sizing up the players from the moment they hit the ground.
