Time for Whittaker to recuse himself

[YamBake]

I just read that article.

It makes my president look very bad.

Is it true, or is it fake news?

Imagine Hillary firing an AG for investigating Clinton foundation. I’m sure trumpists would be arguing “it’s her right as POTUS”

@DougBH

Nixon actually did just that and, when the AGs refused he fired them and got others that would comply. That action was not included in the articles of impeachment because he had the Constitutional authority to do just that.

Though the only reference in the OP is hardly clear as to exactly what Trump told Whitaker.

" 1. interfering or endeavouring to interfere with the conduct of investigations by the Department of Justice of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, and Congressional Committees;"

Actually the court ruled that Cox was illegally discharged from his position of Watergate Special Prosecutor. The case was Nader v. Bork, 1973.

Nader v. Bork, 366 F. Supp. 104 (D.D.C. 1973)

I fully believe that Whittaker will do the honorable thing and recuse himself.

And I believe I just saw Edgar Allen Poe at the supermarket.

Was it weird when Obama did it through his “wingman” Eric Holder, and then through his wing-woman Loretta Lynch?

That’s right! The GOP lost and still losing their ■■■■ over this tarmac meeting.
Hopefully they’ll do the same with Whittaker.

Republicans grilled former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for hours Wednesday over her 2016 airport tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton at a time when her department was investigating his wife for mishandling top-secret emails.
