When you gotta go, you gotta go!
Before summer? By end of year? Or by quitting time today??
Too late Don, Trumpâs stench is embedded in your marrow now.
Can you give yourself a mulligan and retroactively quit the day BEFORE you started?
There are only so many pardons that President Pence will be able to issue. McGahn is afraid that he may be to far down the list. So he is quitting before he gets too high on the Muelerâs list.
lock him up
Rudyâs still available. He and Bolton would make a wonderful foaming-at-the-mouth pair of library lions to stand guard around the president*.
But a senior White House official said that Donald F. McGahn II, the presidentâs chief counsel, was working to secure access to what Mr. McGahn believed to be an order issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorizing some form of surveillance related to Mr. Trump and his associates.
The official offered no evidence to support the notion that such an order exists. It would be a highly unusual breach of the Justice Departmentâs traditional independence on law enforcement matters for the White House to order it to turn over such an investigative document.
Any request for information from a top White House official about a continuing investigation would be a stunning departure from protocols intended to insulate the F.B.I. from political pressure. It would be even more surprising for the White House to seek information about a case directly involving the president or his advisers, as does the case involving the Russia contacts.
After the White House received heavy criticism for the suggestion that Mr. McGahn would breach Justice Department independence, a different administration official said that the earlier statements about his efforts had been overstated. The official said the counselâs office was looking at whether there was any legal possibility of gleaning information without impeding or interfering with an investigation. The counselâs office does not know whether an investigation exists, the official said.
Maddow keeps that growing list of people who have left or been fired from the Trump administration, but the more important list is who is left - and that is a very scary list indeed. As all vestiges of integrity are scrubbed out of the most important ruling force in our former democracy, all of the Republicans and many of the Democrats stand by and wring their hands over what is happening in plain sight. How long are we going to allow this to go on?
The answer will come the day after the mid term elections.
While heâs a âlittle fishâ, heâs likely on Muellerâs list.
Thereâll be an app for that.
You canât fire me because I quit!
If Jones Day takes him back, it loses clients. I suspect the firm knows that.
Weâve got a pictorial display on a whiteboard in our office. Someone leaves, they get a picture with an x over it. Weâre going to need a bigger board.
Well, trump will be trolling the Fox lineup for McGahnâs replacement. Iâm sure it will be an excellent choice.
So the attorneys closest to the president- those who are not currently under investigation by Law Enforcement- seem to be making a general exodus.
What do they know that we do not?
