Following the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta, the Trump administration is bypassing his first assistant, a career prosecutor, to name a new acting leader from outside the office.
This puts yesterday’s resignation in a new light
Aaaand in goes the fix.
Following the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta, the Trump administration is bypassing his first assistant, a career prosecutor, to name a new acting leader from outside the office.
Of course he did: where his actual wrong-doing might be investigated, Donnie can’t have someone he doesn’t believe he controls overseeing the responsible law enforcement office.
But won’t Biden ask for Christine’s resignation immediately? We’ve got a lot of cleaning up to do.
Fifteen days, three hours, and nine minutes to go.
Oh c’mon…we knew Trump would put in a loyalist to try and fk the country in the next three weeks…
Will we be able to last?

If it works out as well as his fix of SCOTUS, which he expected to deliver the presidency to him, I’m not going to lose any sleep over this.
I don’t think that the guy has enough time to wreak too much actual havoc in the next 15 days. Instead, it seems like a message to people who have the audacity to do their jobs when those jobs don’t align with the coup plans.
Yep.
Does Trump figure because the guy is military that he’ll blindly follow orders from his CiC? You know, skipping that whole Justice department and oath to uphold the constitution bs, right?
For what though? This guy will be gone in 15 days.
I for one welcome our newest co-conspirator.
New organization of deck chairs on Titanic.
This is what passes for Exec Branch work these daze while vaccinations stall.
Where are Jared/Ivanka to bring stability to the ManChild?? (Haberman promised this.)
Yup, he’s trying to stack the deck.k
The coup continues.
If he was going to wreak havoc, he could have started in the Southern District of Georgia.
Whatever Trump’s trying to pull, it won’t work, and will likely backfire. This is almost always the case with him. He’s just too stupid, and mentally lazy, and because of that, along with his massive insecurity and diseased ego, he relies on the advice of people unqualified for the job and all but guaranteed to reinforce his worst ideas and steer him in the wrong direction. He just happens to be president, for the next 16 days and 3 hours. After that, the bell tolls.
I don’t like the current military engagement in his biography, but he was confirmed by voice vote In 2017. The scent of military action is in the air, however. The letter by the 10 living Former Secretaries of Defense, initiated by of all people Cheney is aimed directly at reminding civilians and those in the military responsible for oversight that they are bound by the Constitution, not loyalty to Trump or his party.
Ya gotta wonder what Cheney thinks of his enthusiasm for the imperial presidency now.
