Here, there, and everywhere.
Small children on the playground know that if you can’t win an argument any other way, you always play the faulty-research card, as in:

“Where did you get your information?”


The Bureau is 100 percent within the executive branch. If the president wants to get personally involved in any investigation, that’s his prerogative. If he wants to fire his director for failing to pursue a case, or pursuing a case too closely, or investigating a matter that he doesn’t want investigated, he’s well within his authority to do so. He can fire a director every day of the week until he gets one who enforces the law the way he wants it enforced. It was part of the genius of J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI under six presidents, that he was always able to position himself as the chief executive’s confidant and personal intelligence operative, altering his agenda according to whoever was in office. James Comey didn’t feel the need to do that, so Trump didn’t trust him.

Even more to the point: Every time the president signs an executive order, somebody files a suit against him, claiming the right to investigate why he’s doing what he’s doing and whether he’s doing it for the right reasons or because he has sinister intentions caused by demonic fake-news sources.

I thought that was Obama.
 
Trump isn’t ‘in charge’ – the rule of law is.

All elected officials are subject to the rule of law, including the idiot Trump, regardless his delusions to the contrary.

And all law enforcement agencies are likewise subject to the rule of law, sworn to uphold the law, answerable only to the Constitution and its case law.

“The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not the highest law-enforcement official in the land. The president is.” ibid

Wrong.

The AG highest law-enforcement official in the land, also subject solely to the rule of law.

“If [the president] wants to fire his director for failing to pursue a case, or pursuing a case too closely, or investigating a matter that he doesn’t want investigated, he’s well within his authority to do so.” ibid

Also wrong.

A president who fires an FBI director because he doesn’t want a matter investigated is known as obstruction of justice, an impeachable offense.

Any president who fires an FBI director because he doesn’t approve of how an investigation is being conducted deserves to be removed from office.

Obama did a great job recovering from the last Republican loser. Trumpchange will be a great President for the wealthy and corporations, but NOT for you and yours.

Wait until the repatriating of assets actually begins with investment in automation for a 100% tax break. There isn't an actual hamburger flipping robot today, but there will be tomorrow.

Boy, you really are fucked up, there is only one person charged by the Constitution to insure the laws are faithfully executed, hint, it ain't the AG.

First off, the idiot keeps signing EO's without having people check to make sure they are Constitutional, that's why they keep having judges rule on them.

Second off, he doesn't have control over the Justice Department because they follow the rules of law and the Constitution, NOT what the President tells them to.

So you have no counter argument, how regressive of you.

How about you show me where in the Constitution where federal law enforcement authority is derived. In fact show me where an AG is even mentioned in the Constitution.

All of trumps EOs was constitutional, people like Eric holder keep judge shopping for liberal judges to stall him and make their way to the supreme court.

No counter-argument? Do you understand how the justice system works? Congress makes laws, The Supreme Court interprets the laws, and the DoJ enforces it. The DoJ including the AG doesn't just do what the POTUS says... they enforce the LAWS set forth by Congress and the Constitution, and how they have been interpreted over the years by the Supreme Court. As much as everyone wants to believe the POTUS has supreme power, he doesn't.

Ok, show me one supreme court decision that says the president doesn't have the authority to tell the DOJ what to do. All constitutional federal law enforcement authority is derived from Article 2, Section 3, he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed. He, in that phrase, is the POTUS. You can pretend that the DOJ is part of the judicial branch all you want, that doesn't make it true. If you want that changed, see Article 5.

BTW, your dear leader instructed the DOJ not to defend a federal law called DOMA, was that obstruction of justice?

You would because of your bias....It happens to all presidents so whining about how Trump is treated while extolling the same acts while another president serves is just plain old hypocrisy....You either support all the same or hate all the same...

Numbnuts, what is so hard to understand? The President appoints the AG to run the DoJ. The AG's job is to uphold the laws of the land... UNLESS the President tells the AG to NOT enforce a law that contradicts the law of a state, ie. legalized marijuana.

As much as the President may like, he CAN NOT go around telling Jeff Sessions every single person to investigate.
