House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blasted the firing of attorney general Jeff Sessions, and called it a 'blatant move' to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller.
The newly empowered House Democrats brandished their new oversight power and hinted at an investigation, even as Democrats were powerless to stop the president from initiating what they warned was a 'constitutional crisis.'
Trump had already gotten a green light from Republican senators who had backed off from their warnings that Trump dare not move against Sessions or seek to squelch Mueller.
'It is impossible to read Attorney General Sessions’ firing as anything other than another blatant attempt by @RealDonaldTrump to undermine & end Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation,' Pelosi tweeted.

Well, I think we all knew that the DEMS (who I still believe bought and paid for Sessions) would be furious. Of course Nancy is going to capitalize on this.

Nancy blasted Donny for taking a dump this afternoon. Who cares. They riled the hell out of their base for this midterm and their results were lackluster. Good luck ginning up more fake outrage everyday for 2 years.

You just knew the Dems would lose their crap over this. Awesome move, throw a skunk into their after-election party.

eh, Nancy, it is another two months before you wield the gavel, if they choose you.
And one other thing: Mueller was appointed by Executive, not Congress.
-
Nancy is just mad because it's too late to cancel the checks.

Agreed. This is a matter of executive authority; the House plays no role The President gets to appoint the AG, subject to confirmation by the Senate. And that AG oversees the Mueller probe.
That's how it goes, toots.

I hope Nancy's furious, she's just one stroke away from the drool ward. As a rule I don't wish catastrophic health issues on people(okay it's a really flexible rule) but for Nancy, Mad Max, DiFi and good ole Bug Eyes(why so many from California?, of course Nan was an import from Maryland) I'll make an exception.

Waters is from Missouri, Adam Schiff is from Massachusetts, etc. Most came from somewhere else.
Can't blame DiFi on anyone but Calif tho.

Speaking of which, we haven't heard much about that the past few months.

Anyone who did not see this coming is delusional. Jeff Sessions was a clown of an AG. He never even ever really 'accepted' the job. All he did was hide under his bed for two years. I can't say I'm glad he is gone, because he was never really there to begin with. His replacement will be the very First Attorney General under the Trump administration.

I agree. some N.T.'s on here, still being immature, want to blame TRUMP. I said for what? Sessions..did..NOTHING. Sessions was a ZERO. Blame TRUMP because Sessions did...nothing? You would think, the N.T.'S would be happy, nothing got "done". lol
