Trump: 'I don't have an attorney general'

[txradioguy]

Rosenstein is already running the DOJ. Sessions is a ghost. Nothing would change.

Yet his actual unreported record of what he's done since he's been in office to support law enforcement...go after gangs like MS-13 and try to beef up the border via the Border Patrol and immigrations judges goes unreported.

He's done a lot and doesn't ask to have his back patted for it.

    Maybe when Trumps out of the White House he'll reprise The Apprentice and Sessions will be a contestant and he'll finally look into the camera, raise his little finger and pronounce 'You're Fired' and all will be right with the world again.

You're seriously naïve if you think the Dems will let that happen.  Like I said...look at what they've done to Kavanaugh...now multiply that times 3 if Trump fires or verbally abuses his AG into quitting before the mid terms.

No, because it’s already established law that they have passed. If Sessions were to resign, Trump could fill his position with anyone in the administration who has already gone through Senate confirmation and there’s not a damn thing they can do about it.  It’s probably the reason why he’s being so publicly vocal and trying to get him out.

Scenario II: The Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998

The more complicated scenario is to rely on the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. Here’s the relevant provision, codified at 5 U.S.C. § 3345(a)(2):

notwithstanding [the default rule that the deputy becomes the acting], the President (and only the President) may direct a person who serves in an office for which appointment is required to be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to perform the functions and duties of the vacant office temporarily in an acting capacity subject to the time limitations of section 3346.

In other words, the President may direct anyone who holds a “PAS” office—one requiring presidential appointment and Senate confirmation—to serve as Acting Attorney General for 210 days (and potentially longer, depending upon when the President nominates someone to the position).

I agree. Sessions would make a Great immigration officer and border patrol official. That is where he belongs. But when it comes to dealing with Hillary, or Mueller, or Kerry, all he wants to do is to ignore it all and hide.

He is great at policing the border. That should be his job. He is not so great at being an AG.

That would be an acceptable solution, IMO.   Alas.... it's looking like an either/or scenario after the midterms.  Guess we'll find out....

Ah...the mid terms.  Lots could happen especially if we lose our majority in either House. Should that happen I believe that Sessions will remain in play and the heat will be on to impeach President Trump and the witch hunt will continue to be relentless making it impossible for him to accomplish anything and making it nearly impossible for him to be re-elected. 

The DEMS worst nightmare would be Trump's re-election (should he chose to run again).

Barring anything unforseen.... I think he will run in 2020.  By then he'll have become comfortable in the job.  Hell, he may already have...lol.  One thing's for sure... NONE of the idiots the left will run for president have a chance if they keep slouching further left as they have.   What part of "most Americans don't want America to be "fundamentally transformed" into a damned commie cesspool nation" are the Democrats too stupid to comprehend?  All of it.

I am glad we are getting somewhere.  It was just admitted that Trump was engaging in false witness against Sessions when he said he wasn't happy with what he was doing on the border.  It really is all about recusing himself.  Otherwise he is doing his job.  Kellyanne Conway acknowledged that also.

Lindsey Graham (gang of eight) has been so vocal to fire Sessions.  He instructed Sessions to recuse himself. 

Trumps a jerk.  If he wants Sessions gone he should fire him.  Not continue to say false things about him.  But that is the Trump way.  Eye for an eye.

Kellyanne on video saying Sessions is doing his job.  A far cry from all the people saying he is a do nothing.

   If we are really honest about this, America had been without a 'People's Attorney' for 8 years, Trump whines a lot.

Whines a lot? Trump whines like no other President I’ve ever seen.

He can't do anything about Hillary because his boss...the President...after spend 18 months chanting "lock her up" said "she's suffered enough".

She can't be touched for what she did as a Senator or SecState now thanks to those comments from Trump after he was elected.


Mueller...he's recused himself from that stuff...and I really don't have a problem with that.  If he hadn't he'd be getting the same shabby treatment from the left he's getting from Republicans.

As for Horseface...we don't know what's being done.  Do you seriously want the DOJ to telegraph anything they are working on where Kerry is concerned?
