Rachel Brand at DoJ is resigning. She’s being replaced by a Trump pick. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s no longer a matter of IF Trump will try to fire Rosenstein & Mueller, it’s a matter of WHEN.

1. Yes, I am sad to say... yes...

[IluvPitties]

2. It sometimes seems like we are just fucked

and 35% of the country is happy cheering the bastard...

[Different Drummer]

6. That 35 percent is comprised of poorly educated, low information types.

They only know or care about what Fox News tells them and that is fairy tales.

[SHRED]

8. Truth

[IluvPitties]

9. They are cheering the demise of our Nation...

[Different Drummer]

10. In their minds, "R, good! D, bad!" n/t

[Hoyt]

17. Assuming its only 35% low info types, there is another 15% or so

that profit from trump and tolerate his crud.

[tiptonic]

24. Nailed

You nailed it. Can we say Bastile Day?

[mucifer]

42. Or people made out of money.

[chuckstevens]

3. Take to the Streets, Folks!

[BigmanPigman]

22. Yep, signed up and ready within 15 min of an announcement.

I even have extra signs for my neighbors and sister. There were 400 cities ready to go during Christmas Recess. As of two weeks ago that number has increased to over 700 cities. This is for both Mueller AND Rosenstein now. See if your location is already listed, or you can start your own.

4. We are seeing the long arms and short fingers of massive obstruction.

[unitedwethrive]

5. Watching the demise of our democracy is much more depressing than I couldve ever imagined

What is wrong with aspiring to a society where people from all different backgrounds can live in peace, and we all help one another in whatever our abilities might be? It doesn’t seem that hard.

[DonCoquixote]

34. the ugly answer is

This is a country where churches and corporations are allowed more slack than most countries would, and those two are actively trying to destroy that very sort of country. They do not want to diverse world, but a world which is cureler and more controlling until no one but them exists.

[cilla4progress]

7. Then

What?

Feels like a rolling indictment to me!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. The FBI will pick this up........and turn on Trump in revenge......

For his attack on them. Trump makes an enemy of the law enforcement and intelligence community could prove to be a serious mistake.

Nor will the military back up a corrupt COC. Trump knows he has plenty to hide and the walls are coming down around him regarding Russia. The Press and other media outlets will have a hey day with this. Let the revolution commence. Trump cannot have all of us arrested.

[rockfordfile]

40. What are you talking about? The woman at the DOJ was a trumpf pick. She was far right

[NightWatcher]

12. Last time it happened on a Saturday Night. Sounds 50/50 it happens tomorrow too.

[USALiberal]

13. This is a daily prediction here, yet nothing! n/t

[FightingIrish]

14. Shes a Trump appointee

My guess is that she was asked by a stooge like Don McGahn what she would do of Rob Rosenstein is removed. She saw that train coming and jumped.

[Marie Marie]

18. That was my take.

If true, it finally took a woman who was not willing to sell her hard earned reputation, career or soul to be a Trump toady. She probably refused the "loyalty oath".

[pandr32]

15. Hopefully it won't come to that

But OMG the White House usurper is corrupt right through to his DNA. He will destroy a country to save himself. Where are all those gun humpers who need assault weapons to fight tyranny? What do they think tyranny is?

[briv1016]

41. Brown.

[Docreed2003]

16. Its amazing that a third of our country will applaud this crap

Obstruction of justice is just “fighting back” to the Trumpers

[Different Drummer]

35. This. n/t

[Snackshack]

19. It has never been a question of if...

Only “when”.

Anyone who thought that trump was not going to fire Mueller at some point has simply not been listening to what trump has been saying. The same goes for the Democratic memo...he was never going to approve it’s release.

This entire chapter of American history (the trump era) is going to end very badly and very ugly. America will be forever changed because of it.

[bluestarone]

20. i believe our futrure now depends on

Mueller and the United States Supreme Court

[Woodycall]

21. Well, then we're fucked.

[world wide wally]

23. I think we need to depend more on the midterm elections.

VOTE!

[Wednesdays]

38. We did.

[TygrBright]

25. ummm..... Rachel Brand is also a [Redacted] pick. n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. yep

Only thing I see here is another rat abandoning ship.

[CanonRay]

27. Rachel Brand WAS a Trump pick.

[Juliusseizure]

31. So was Rosenstein

[Stonepounder]

28. Talk about your large end-around.

She was offered the position of 'general counsel' (top lawyer in a company) at Wal-Mart at a reported salary of somewhere north of $1 Million/year. Hard to turn down, particularly if you are concerned with keeping your reputation intact.

Gonna be hard to prove that someone in the Trump admin put a bug in the Wal-Mart's ear to hire her to get her out of DOJ.

[Juliusseizure]

33. Blatant obstruction strategy

Sorry this is a blatant manuever to have a guaranteed Trump loyalist willing to pull off a Saturday Night Massacre, or do Trump's budding, at the ready when Trump fires Rosenstein out of utter desperation.

Obviously Brand wasn't going to do that. You have to be a far right sociopath lawyer who disregards law.

Walmart could have hired thousands of more qualified, experienced corporate attorney to do the same job. They, a far right corporate Trump donor, chose an assistant DOJ.

The timing of her departure makes it blatantly obvious what's going on.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Uhhh, she was a Trump pick in the first place.

So one Trump pick will be replaced by another. BFD.

Not to mention that the firing of Mueller has been predicted every single day since last summer. Doubt it will happen, if for no other reason than Trump is so arrogant he thinks Mueller is already totally discredited and won't do him any harm.

[xxqqqzme]

30. Anyone else

bothered that she was enticed by a job offer 'too good to refuse' from walmart?

[Sinistrous]

32. Me

Bothered and sickened.

[Different Drummer]

36. Yeah, how could any job offer from Walmart be "too good to refuse"? n/t

[Bluepinky]

37. Rachel Maddow covered this on her show last night.

She was so upset by this woman’s departure, she looked like she was going to cry.
If Rachel Brand truly cared about the country, she would have stayed in place so as not to enable Trump to commit more crimes against our country.

[Calista241]

39. Hes not going to fire either of them.

He’s going to install his dude and manage the investigation into oblivion. That oversight will pinch purse strings, not approve purchases in a timely fashion, overtime, warrants, anything he can.

It will take a few months, people will bitch, Mueller may even give a press conference about it, but there won’t be an overt act by the President to prematurely conclude the investigation.
