If Trump gets rid of Rosenstein...

Can a temporary replacement be named without Senate confirmation? If so, I believe the investigation may be over.

1. Nixon thought the investigation was over when he fired Archibald Cox. Didn't work out well for Dick.

4. Nixon didn't have a complicit congress in his hip pocket

5. That is definitely the scary part in all of this.

6. And the media nowadays for almost half the voters with propaganda on 24/7

pushing congress to back trump

7. Yet another outcome of the fairness doctrine overturn

and the creation of news as part of entertainment divisions.

8. Those voters pushing congress to back trump like it's normal

11. Actually saw something interesting about this on Lawrence...

Mere months before he resigned, Nixon gave his SOTU speech and essentially proclaimed the investigation over. He received thunderous support from the GOP.

When the House began impeachment charges, one which specifically discussed obstruction charges, most Republicans voted against proceeding.

Had the GOP been in charge then, who knows if Nixon is even forced out of office. But because the Democrats held the House, the rest is history.

2. yes, that is the point of this

sorry for those who expect a Senate confirmation to save the Mueller investigation

3. The Republicans control Congress

They will confirm whoever Trump picks - so what's the difference?

[lapfog_1]

9. They can't

At least Flake will vote with Dems and McCain will likely never return to Congress ( at least for work )

So unless we have a traitor Dem Senator (Manchin... lookin at YOU! ) you can't get to 50... for a Pence tie breaker.

13. Interesting

It will be quite fascinating to see how this plays out.

12. Over?
