re: #256 KGxvi

The Sessions/Pruitt move is clearly the stupidest move he could make (on top of combining two ongoing scandals, it would mean two more confirmations (EPA and DOJ) when the State confirmation looks to be going terribly). It’s also a problem because if Sessions is fired, Trump can’t technically appoint an Acting AG, instead the position would, by law, devolve to the Deputy AG… some guy named Rod Rosenstein. So he’d create a third controversy for himself in the process.

So I fully expect that will be the way he goes.

Didn’t they somehow think they could get around the succession by putting someone in as interim director then fire Mueller. Say, a Trump stooge like a Pruitt.

I think that is what the most brilliant Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Attorney at Lawless was hinting when she said they have been advised there are legal paths to fire Mueller.

Of course it could be 89%+11% bullshit…but that is really what SHS practices best.
