Laurence Tribe worried DEMS take bait fire Sessions & buh bye Mueller [View all] Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 OP

No Sessions, No Mueller! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #1

Sessions is irrelevant in the process. He offers no protection bluepen Nov 2017 #2

New AG chosen by Donald would fire Mueller Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #5

The point is Sessions provides no protection for Mueller. bluepen Nov 2017 #9

The point is he does! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #11

Nope. He has recused himself. Mueller reports to bluepen Nov 2017 #17

Rosenstein wont fire him. A new AG not recused will fire him ASAP Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #19

And Rosenstein would be gone. bluepen Nov 2017 #25

I think you are missing a critical point. BzaDem Nov 2017 #30

And none of that needs to happen to fire Mueller. bluepen Nov 2017 #34

I still think you are not appreciating an important distinction. BzaDem Nov 2017 #39

Well said Iwasthere Nov 2017 #47

And your theory hinges on this... bluepen Nov 2017 #48

Yes, it is possible, if Session resigns. BzaDem Nov 2017 #55

Laurence Tribe worried DEMS take bait fire Sessions & buh bye Mueller Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #24

Dems cannot fire Sessions. That's the big flaw in your logic. muriel_volestrangler Nov 2017 #65

But they can make lots noise N donald use it to fire him since DEMS want him to al la Comey Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #67

Yeah, but that assumes Trump will completely change his personality and policy muriel_volestrangler Nov 2017 #69

Except it's not really. Trump can tell the deputy to fire Mueller mythology Nov 2017 #18

More steps. With a new AG one step Buh Bye Mueller! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #21

Laurence Tribe: 1st things 1st PROTECT MUELLER then go after Sessions Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #27

For what reason? As a civil servant, Mueller has protections Kaleva Nov 2017 #50

I don't see how Mueller gets fired when he is uncovering massive tax evasion and money laundering. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2017 #36

Firing mueller is overt obstruction after indictments been issued beachbum bob Nov 2017 #3

Yeah, I don't see how he fires Mueller with massive tax evasion and money laundering charges pending Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2017 #8

Yup davekriss Nov 2017 #4

Laurence Tribe: 1st things 1st PROTECT MUELLER then go after Sessions Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #28

Sessions isn't going anywhere comradebillyboy Nov 2017 #6

Also, it's not up to Democrats to fire or retain Sessions gratuitous Nov 2017 #35

No, but DT could use the Dems as an excuse for firing Sessions. n/t pnwmom Nov 2017 #43

Or use no excuse at all gratuitous Nov 2017 #49

We would ALSO be giving cover to Congressional R's, if they want to roll over and play dead for DT. pnwmom Nov 2017 #51

Let's not make it easy & give them an excuse. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #52

He'll blame HRC and Obama. Even though they are not players in this, madinmaryland Nov 2017 #74

Hammer coming down on Kushner and June Boy Iliyah Nov 2017 #7

We need to be further along where there is the point of no return, then we check-out Sessions Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #10

Actually, the only one who can fire Mueller is Rosenstein. ananda Nov 2017 #12

& he won't UNLESS THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN AKA NEW AG!!! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #13

New AG would have to be confirmed. shanny Nov 2017 #29

Dems don't have majority! GOP would confirm anything as already proven w/Sessions Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #31

Only 2 Rs in Senate would have to defect! shanny Nov 2017 #33

Yes, let's gamble. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #41

You act like what we do makes f@ck all difference. shanny Nov 2017 #56

I disagree! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #57

Actually, an acting AG could do the job. DT would simply have to go down the line pnwmom Nov 2017 #44

With a new AG not recused the job of firing Mueller falls back to the NEW AG Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #14

new & improved AG not recused FIRES MUELLER TOMORROW! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #15

The person who appointed the special counsel is irrelevant. The reason Rosenstein is involved BzaDem Nov 2017 #32

Are we being GASLIGHTED here? I am asking for a friend! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #16

That scenario brings back fond memories of the Saturday Night Massacre. PoindexterOglethorpe Nov 2017 #20

The fact that indictments have been handed down. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #22

Perhaps, after a few more indictments then we could more comfortably gamble on this. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #53

It would help. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #54

Richard Painter: "The fix is in. They set up Sessions to take the fall." Wwcd Nov 2017 #37

The fix is in.They set up Sessions to take the fall. After he is gone, a new acting AG fires Mueller Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #40

Unless Meuller gets them all first! Wwcd Nov 2017 #42

Don't really know Mueller's timetable. D whole deal needs 2b further along close 2 pt of NO return! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #45

I think Sessions will resign and Dems have no control over that. Vinca Nov 2017 #38

I think Sessions will hold unto dear life. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #46

Kicking! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #58

If he fires him it's obstruction of justice pile on. Go ahead and fire him, makes you look even Kirk Lover Nov 2017 #59

Let's not gamble while we got a GOP majority. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #60

Kicking! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #61

I cannot believe that I need to kick this again. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #62

Meh. Tribe is entitled to his opinion. struggle4progress Nov 2017 #63

Can anyone spell RECUSAL for me? How about RECUSED? Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #64

Sounds good! Let's not make it harder. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #68

If Trump wanted Mueller gone he doesn't need to fire Sessions. onenote Nov 2017 #70

Fire Sessions for what reason? Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #71

any reason Trump wants to give. onenote Nov 2017 #72

He needs to give a reason and if he chooses Russian connections those connect 2 him Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #73
