...every day the Leftists are "WARNING" the President / GOP / you name it...

Today it's a warning against firing Rosenstein or Mueller.

Durbin: Firing Mueller or Rosenstein over Nunes memo 'could precipitate a constitutional crisis'

Of course they warned about millions dying due to tax cuts, so I guess it's not surprising.

As a child I learned not to warn people of what I didn't want them to do, as it sometimes put ideas into their heads.

Many GDCs have not made it out of childhood.

Durbin is an epic POS. Fuck him. And all his leftist pals. Regards 18DAI

"We understand what the Constitution says we must do, and that is hold everyone in the United States, including the President of the United States, accountable if they've violated the law," Durbin said.”

I guess he is saying holding Rosenstein accountable, or anyone in DOJ, doesn’t apply. Or any democrat I guess. What a POS.


And what does he think “they” are going to do in the case of a Constitional crisis? For that matter, we are already there. Maybe he needs to understand we are past that point and “we” are taking action because they created it.

Geeze, I'm going to show my ignorance again:

Just what is a "Constitutional crisis?" Is there a solid description for what that really is? Or am I just missing it altogether?

It's probably kind of like art; hard to define, but you know it when you see it.

I'd like to suggest that the FBI attempting to turn themselves into a modern day version of the Praetorian Guard is, in fact, a constitutional crisis.

Classic leftist slight of hand: Don't watch the bad shit we're doing; there's nothing to see here. But, LOOK! The Republicans who are trying to stop us are evil constitutional crisis makers!

The last “Constitutional Crisis” of which I am aware occurred in 1861-65. All others have been political hype that were peacefully decided.

My translation: "The DNC is flat broke after Hillary drained the account. And if you haven't noticed, our party is getting its ass kicked. We need you big donors to kick in, oh...a few million dollars."

I wouldn't fire Rosenstein

I'd arrest him while he's still on the job, in his office, with everyone there

once he is on the 7th floor, him and his partners in crime are pretty much locked in - they have no place to go

like shooting fish in a barrel

I would add one since then... Roosevelt's "Court packing" when he didn't like the decisions coming out of the Supreme Court:

Between 1933 and 1936, during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term as President, the Supreme Court’s five-man conservative majority struck down many "progressive" acts of Congress. These included the central pillars of the New Deal. Roosevelt sought a government role in regulating the economy amid the Great Depression. The effect was to create, as F.D.R. put it, a “ ‘no-man’s land’ where no government—state or federal—can function.” In 1937, Roosevelt proposed to change the Court by packing it—by adding six seats and filling them with liberals. The plan failed, but before that, Justice Owen Roberts swung to the left, ending the sense of siege in the capital. As constitutional crises go, the Court fight, as it was known, was as high-stakes as any since Reconstruction; both sides felt, not wrongly, that the survival of democracy was at risk.

File it with "Transgender." No actual definition.

I can see it as a political bad move, but it would not be a "constitutional crisis"--the President is fully authorized to fire either or both of them, for whatever reason (or even no reason).

Remember, Durbin compared American troops to Nazis. Another Democrat traitor.

And not just the FBI. IRS, CIA, DOJ, State....

Trump can exercise the powers of his office as he deems best, as long as he can count on 67 votes in the Senate.

If something happens and the House votes impeachment, not really likely in this Congress, it would go nowhere but on CNN 24/7, unless the accusations/discontent is so serious as to lose support of Republicans in the Senate.

Nixon was caught in a serious untruth. Back then that was unthinkable, unpardonable, inexcusable.

One of Nixon’s problems when the House was processing impeachment resolutions was that he was advised by very senior GOP Senators that he would not survive conviction in the Senate. After the Supreme Court ordered release of the tapes and the so-called smoking gun tape was made public,

quote:

Goldwater and Scott told the president that there were not only enough votes in the Senate to convict him, but that no more than 15 or so Senators were willing to vote for acquittal – far fewer than the 34 he needed to avoid removal from office. They did not pressure Nixon to resign, but simply made the realities of the situation clear. Goldwater later wrote that as a result of the meeting, Nixon "knew beyond any doubt that one way or another his presidency was finished."

It occurs anytime the Dems lose on any issue or election.

Best answer

How is the Mueller investigation suppose to end? Is there a time limit? Is there a limit to where he can go?
Better question, is it possible for him to publicly say "Hey, we got nothing. After a year and all the time and money, there is nothing." Knowing humans, Mueller simply must find something rather then admit failure.
Remember the Kennedy assasination? The Warren Commission did a thorough job, determined it was Oswald and closed up. At that moment people started denying the findings and cherry picking the evidence. We're Mueller to close the investigation with no charges, there will be a hue and cry blaming the President.
Mueller has nothing. The democrats want to keep him on for as long as possible.
