Better late than never

#2 Mr. Giuliani to the courtesy phone?

[He went after the Mob in NYC. Given ~~Donks~~ Deep State is largely a criminal enterprise, seems like a good fit to clean them out at DoJ and FBI.]

#4 Holy State, or holy King, or holy People's Will - have no track with the senseless thing...

#5 Matt Whitaker.

More than an average football player. All-American. All Big 10. Also a BS, MBA, and JD. Appointed U.S. Attorney under W. Strong ethics background. Seems like a good Acting AG appointment. A little more swamp draining and getting rid of roadblocks?

Trump should speed along the declassification of FISA and other documents. Air this out and let the public see what kind of crap he has been dealing with.

#7 Trump waited until he had a lock on confirming the next one before having Sessions step aside. He also waited until it was certain he'd be harassed with subpoenas and nonsense from the House no matter what he did before he acted. All fairly predictable in hind-site.

This may be part of the plan John. If RGB punches out, POTUS will have effectively secured both the Senate and the Supreme Court. These are necessary in order to drop indictments and gain convictions. Empty GITMO cells are waiting.

Although the 300m target may be Bath House Barry, if I were Hillary Rodman Clinton, James Comey, or John Brennan, I'd be a bit concerned right now.

#9 No, having a permanent independent Imperial Censor that can impose his/her view of The Law™ is not part of the U.S. Constitutional tradition... Mueller is no Cincinnatus. ...Unless he is viewed as a tool of the Belt-Way Establishment™ against an uprising of the underclass led by Trump.

#10 I don't think much of special counsels (SC) either. They give far too much power to unelected officials. Appointments of special counsel members seem to be under the sole control of whoever heads up the special counsel. Mueller and Rosenstein should have recused themselves as they were both suspects as well as investigators. I think most people in flyover land see this SC for what it is.

#11 Special counsel = desire for "special results..."
