Full title: Pelosi Warns: If Trump Uses Memo To Justify Firing Rosenstein Or Mueller, Will Trigger "Constitutional Crisis"

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told CBS News on Friday that "if the president uses this fake, horrible release of distorted intelligence as an excuse to fire [acting attorney general Rod] Rosenstein or [special counsel Robert] Mueller, it could lead to a constitutional crisis."

"He has abdicated his responsibilities as commander in chief to protect the American people by protecting our intelligence sources and the rest," she said of Trump.

(snip)

Of the memo, she said: "It’s appalling. It’s a misrepresentation. It isn’t even the release of intelligence material. It’s a release of a distortion of it,” Pelosi said. “They’re not representing the facts to the American people, and yet the president has given it his imprimatur. This is unprecedented to the nth degree."

There is no constitutional crisis if a president fires someone under executive pervue. He can fire anyone like that at will. This idea that he can’t is ludicrous. It is not illegal nor unconstitutional for a president to do so.

>>> There is no constitutional crisis if a president fires someone under executive pervue.

Constitutionally speaking, yes.

But.

The point is Democrats ARE GOING to make “it”, any fallout from releasing the Nunes memo, (however their mileage may differ) into a “Constitutional Crisis”. They (all of them) basically promised just that.

And they have all the camera face time and such to make their case to the public.

We don't have a constitutional crisis.

We have an institutional crisis.

Nancy forgets that if her position stands and nothing is wrong in what they did, then the same thing can happen to them, because afterall, everybody does it, right????? /s

It’s amazing this is the perspective of legislators, the epitome of those who are supposed to discriminate between what is lawful and not lawful.

Someone wake Nancy up and let her know the constitutional crisis is happening- the FBI and DOJ weaponized to stage a coup against a sitting president.

It’s a Democratic crisis. Their ideas don’t work as the last 8 years have shown, and the identity politics are failing as some of the people are getting off the Demo Plantation and wising up.

There’s still a huge core of Americans, who still believe in hard work instead of Government hand outs, and so far, they haven’t been able to bring in enough voting illegals to overcome that core.

Bev Harris, Democrat who is expert on election fraud has stated that Clinton likely stole the election in at least 5 states. Think about it. She lost a “rigged” election.

The backlash against the Dems and their policies was a gigantic Tsunami!

You have got that right! I read the memo, and it supported all being said, and I can’t believer Sessions is still MIA! I’ve been painting my office, so not on top of all the comments, however, my hope is ‘someone’ says these people will be arrested and prosecuted.

I hate fact that Sessions was appointed, since it costs us a Senate seat in Alabama. Sad.

There shouldn’t be anything to leak, as Trump is innocent, imho. Now, if Mueller has info on Dems, he could trade it, if he had any part in this fiasco.

Even me, a naturalized citizen knows that. I am shocked Schumer, Pelosi and the democrat media do not know that. Simple fact is ALL APPOINTED EXECUTIVE BRANCH critters serve at the pleasure of the POTUS. He can fire anyone who is not performing to his expectations.
