Sessions Resigns as AG

Maryland’s top lawyer asked a federal judge Tuesday to block Matthew G. Whitaker from serving as acting U.S. attorney general contending the appointment is illegal.

Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh (D) says President Trump’s appointment of Whitaker to the nation’s highest law enforcement post is unconstitutional and that he should be replaced by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, who was confirmed by the Senate.

“Few positions are more critical than that of U.S. Attorney General, an office that wields enormous enforcement power and authority over the lives of all Americans,” Frosh said in a statement.

 

Good!

And they're setting a new precedent to bite them in the ass later on.

 

Well, by that point it will be completely unfair to infringe on the right of the President to appoint acting officers to fill vacancies!

What an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.

Upholding the rule of law is a waste? You Trump cultists are just unAmerican

First, we are demanding that Mr. Whitaker recuse himself from the Russia investigation. On Sunday, I sent a letter along with Leader Pelosi, and top Democrats from both houses and the relevant committees, to the Department of Justice’s Chief Ethics Officer explaining why Mr. Whitaker should be recused and requesting the Chief Ethics Officer notify Congress as to what guidance Whitaker has given. We’ve heard that Mr. Whitaker is meeting with Ethics officials this week, and we expect, we expect, that Congress will be notified about the results of those discussions.

Second, if Mr. Whitaker does not recuse himself, we Democrats are going to attempt to add legislation to the must-pass spending bill in the lame duck session that will prevent acting Attorney General Whitaker from interfering with the Mueller investigation in any way.

I already pointed out where it hasn't been required before...and you responded with an inapplicable Supreme Court decision that you didn't understand.

 

Neither statutory law, nor case law, nor precedent requires an acting position to be Senate confirmed.  Period.  End of story.

This is so stupid. You will say anything to defend Trump. 

 

The best part is that you are making a losing argument. Nothing can be done for corrupt intent, which is the sole and only purpose behind his move, and you know it. Only an idiot like you--and the rest of the cultists--would try and argue this is just fine and "End of story." Stupid! 

 

You are stupid.

There is no legally sustaining precedent for a corrupt act. Why was AG fired and this clown hired?

Now it's corrupt?  How is that?  When did you determine this?
