You can't fire the rule of law, @realDonaldTrump. You can't shut down ongoing investigations by career prosecutors.

Newsflash, @realDonaldTrump: The Senate confirms US Attorneys. And you're not replacing real prosecutors with cronies w/out a massive fight.

1. Needed to be said.

Thanks, Elizabeth!

2. Unfortunately...have no US Attorneys is the same as having complicit US Attorneys.

For Trump, an empty, paralyzed justice department has the same effect as having a department full of loyalists. Empty may make it harder for him to use the judiciary to punish opponents but for him and the gang, no action is good action.

6. Sure you can. Just ask Bush and Cheney.
