Draining the swamp. Good.
Yep, it's SO nice to see, Hoss. It's been TOO long since we've had a president who actually has ANY cajones. And President Trump's are HUGE...................THIS is exactly the type of thing we voted for him to do, and man, he's doing it!
You think he was elected to fire anyone that might be a threat to his tyrannical behavior? That's why Kim got his job.
You, just like okfine, can't show that it was illegal. You want to complain for the sake of complaining, but you run on nothing the whole time.

White House says firing of U.S. attorneys is standard practice
By
Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Monday, March 13, 2017
Excerpt:
The White House said Monday that the Justice Departmentās firing of 46 U.S. attorneys was standard practice for a new administration, while speculation grew that former Manhattan federal prosecutor
Preet Bharara turned his firing into a cause celebre as a potential springboard to higher office.
Responding to media outrage over the firings, the White House said Monday that President Trump was merely engaging in the same kind of clearing out of political appointees that presidents before him have done.
āThis is a standard operating procedure for a new administration around this time,ā said White House press secretary Sean Spicer. āThis is a standard action that takes place in most administrations.ā
