So the Hussein’s appointment of acting secretary John King Jr. was unconstitutional?

He does what he feels and knows what’s right. Unlike Demtards who do unconstitutional and crooked crap all the time. Your liberal motto is “Do as I say, not what I do”.

Nonsense.

What Trump ‘feels’ is ‘right’ is in fact wrong.

That’s the problem: Trump is both ignorant of the law and has contempt for the law.

First, let's clear up the usual lying spin from the WH that Sessions "resigned".....he was fired.

But, much more important, is the fact that Trump feels the urgent need to "circle the wagons" and THAT is always a prelude to bunker mentality.

Let a Trump lap dog assume the role of AG and undermine the Muller investigation and lets see how that plays out among not only democrats and decent republicans....but also the crucial independent voting bloc.................Besides, Trump cannot put the toothpaste back in the tube.......the southern district of NY is beyond Trump's claws.

Polling shows that the American people don't care about Russia and a plurality, in fact, think it's just a political stunt.

NBC News Exit Poll: Voters divided on Mueller's handling of Russia investigation

As your own link's title specifies, voters are "divided" especially on the issue of a "Russia investigation".......However, if you review the mandated assignment of the special counsel, the investigation may go BEYOND the Russian collusion into issues of corruption, breaches of the emolument clauses, fraud, lying and cover-ups.

Apathy by the voters may directly depend on how the questioning was phrased.

Ye Gads! That sure doesn't say much good about us, does it? It's been a given that the Russians used psychological influence on our darker angels to give a hand up to Trump during the 2016 elections cycle, and 2 yrs later Americans are 'tired' of plumbing the depths of their duplicity while shouting 'Lock her up!".

PLEASE try to keep up.

There is NO "Constitution".

There was one - an original copy was hanging on the wall of The White House until Your Darkie Messiah shredded and smoked it in a shiny new bong (paid for proudly by your taxes?) on His very first imperial day.

Thereafter there was no "Constitution" for Him and, after he was driven out, President Trump didn't replace it.

Wisely, as it turns out.

.Trump’s Appointment of the Acting Attorney General Is Unconstitutional

Because the looney leftist losers say so at the NYT?

An acting chairman in the President's Cabinet is not an officer, but an interim cabinet member who oversees activities until the Senate has a confirmation of a qualified candidate. Who that will be has not been disclosed to the rabid loonies at NYT, and they're piping crazy mad for a weenie roast of whoever is picked to assist President Trump. The word "acting" does not mean Attorney General, and vice-versa. Someone needs to open the mail, distribute tasks, and review cases so that the next Attorney General who is approved by the Senate will have an easier transition into his "office" following his confirmation by the Senate.

 

[Dale Smith]

Wrong. Of course he can appoint a temporary acting attorney general.

I just added the section that addresses that very thing.

See, you gotta read between the lines of the Far Left------------> If he would have appointed Rosenstein, the Left would keep their mouth shut; but this guy is all about questioning Heir Mewlers legality...……...which was also questioned today, and will be moved to the SC no matter which way it is ruled upon.

The LEFT forgets, that until January, the Republicans are in control of EVERY branch of government, and anything they do LEGALLY with legislation, etc...……...the House in January will have to reverse WITHOUT being shelved by the NEW REPUBLICAN Senate, or vetoed by Trump.

In essence, the Left is screwed BEFORE they ever take office, and we now have a foil, lol.

By the way, I would like to thank former President Obysmal for continuing his hot streak of losing EVERYONE he campaigns for. Florida? GONE! Georgia? Out of there! Indiana? Slapped down! Missouri? Destroyed!

If I was the GOP, I would hire him to campaign against them in 2020-) The only thing he is good at is getting himself elected, and that ship has sailed, lol!

Funny, your link demonstrates neither that "the American people don't care", nor that a plurality think it's a political stunt.

And even if both assertions were true, it would just demonstrate how remarkably effective the Trumpletons' smear campaign against Mueller, in fact, was, because neither opinion has even a shred of hope of being justifiable.

Oh, and BTW, it's somewhat hard to see why law-enforcement and counter-intelligence operations should be put to a popularity test, or even be seen in this light. But hey, whatever lifts your skirt.

Will Whitaker recuse himself from the Mueller probe? Whitaker says he will not, but that is the wrong question.

The real question is, will Trump's attack dog interfere in the Mueller probe. Whitaker is far from impartial on the issue and has suggested publicly that an interim A.G. could cut funding for the probe, and that Mueller crossed a red line when he began looking at Trump's finances for a Russian connection, which is a perfectly logical approach to a case involving Russian conspiracy and the Trump election campaign.

The point being, if Whitaker interferes in the Mueller probe, it is perfectly clear Trump is begging to be impeached for obstruction of justice, the ultimate attention getter.
