Politics TRUMP'S APPOINTMENT OF WHITAKER IS ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL

[Chris Craig]

We're not talking about (2) Paragraph (1). and none of those caveats apply anyway.

Maybe your reading of it is right. I don't know. It was fun arguing though

Always. I'm much more educated about the topic now than I was before the thread started. You made me work.

The vacancy can be filled during the recess of congress, but it must be filled by a person such as Rosenstein who has already been approved by congress for his current position.

The position does not need to filled under any certain time frame, so if needed, Trump can leave it vacant until congress wants to go home again for Thanksgiving.

Dems keep making themselves look like morons fighting all these unwinnable fake-outrage wars on every minute thing Trump does. Their Kavanaugh smear cost them 4 seats.

Trump is the Chief executive of the United States. He is not required to have an Attorney General, but if he does, the AG must be approved by the Senate. Until then he is free to have people assist him in is duties, including a person to look over the Justice Department, thus we have an Acting AG. The acting AG may not do some things that an approve AG might do. One is to sign FISA warrants. I read somewhere this is one restriction, Rosentein would need to do that one.

I bet he'll be more careful than he was with that bogus Carter Page warrant, maybe not lie to the fisa court this time?

Shocking that Trump places the guy who wrote a CNN articles bout how to neutere the Mueller investigation and has also been on just about every News station about how he thinks Mueller is overstepping himself about how it should be shut down ect ect. This guy now overseas everything about the Mueller investigation. This is clearly something someone with nothing to hide and isn't scared Mueller would do.

 

[Lanny]

He was Session's Chief of Staff.
This is a temporary position.

There's an argument that he can't even do that. Your appointee is supposed to be confirmed by Congress. Doesn't have to be confirmed for that job but must be confirmed for something. However, there is a loophole, and Trump is the King of finding loopholes.
Will the loophole hold? I dunno, let's ask Trump's Supreme Court. Oh, I wonder what their answer will be.

And, was that 'lie' reversed?

 

[MARIS61]

Mueller was not confirmed by the Senate, he was appointed by Mueller shortly after he suggested illegally wiretapping the President.

Rosenstein is a main target of the illegal FISA warrant investigation that the entire Mueller fake Russian collusion smear is built on.

Neither should be employed in our government, except maybe as jail trustees.

Mueller appointed himself? Impressive.

Wrong. Time will tell. Nothing illegal about the fisa warrants.

see what happens when he thinks on his own instead of cutting and pasting.

What illegal FISA warrant? You mean the one Trump says was illegal? Well, they're gonna prove that any day now.

How is that possible? How did Mueller appoint himself? That sounds like something Alexander Haig did.
