    Sure Herb.
    Why don't you check out the early '70s and see how that plan worked out for Nixon.

    Mullet may be registered as a republican but I suspect his first allegiance lies elsewhere. That’s pretty obvious, actually.

    The democrat Clinton donors on his team are common knowledge to anyone who has been following this:

    Sessions is gone, so Mullet reports to the acting AG. You can’t make up new rules as you go. Wait, what am I saying.

    We have some serious government corruption.
    Are you getting dizzy with that circular reasoning yet?

    You need to read this carefully!

    “At issue is the Constitution’s Appointments Clause, which provides that “principal officers” must be appointed by the president with the Senate’s consent. Rehnquist wrote that independent counsel Alexia Morrison qualified as an “inferior officer,” not subject to the appointment process, because her office was “limited in jurisdiction” to “certain federal officials suspected of certain serious federal crimes.”

    “Only a principal officer, such as a U.S. attorney, can behave the way Mr. Mueller is behaving. Mr. Mueller is much more powerful today than any of the 96 U.S. attorneys. He is behaving like a principal officer.”

    Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team of prosecutors is reportedly growing frustrated with Paul Manafort's level of cooperation, even though he agreed to provide them with a "broad" range of information as part of his September plea deal.

    According to ABC News, the former Trump campaign chairman has met with prosecutors nearly a dozen times, but they are "not getting what they want." If he is found not to be cooperating with the terms of the deal, Manafort could face additionl fines or an extended prison sentence.

    Manafort is currently sitting in a Virginia jail "awaiting his sentencing on a host of charges brought by Mueller’s prosecutors in two separate jurisdictions as part of his investigation into Russian meddling during the 2016 campaign," ABC News reported.

    In August, Manafort was convicted in Virginia on bank and tax fraud charges and will be sentenced in February, and he pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy in Washington, D.C., as part of the deal.

    Will it suck if Mullet is in limbo until the Senate confirms an AG?
    Who has standing to bring this before a judge you silly fool?

    Mueller has a long standing reputation of a man bound by honor and integrity... so I agree he would forego partisanship for duty.

    To whatever degree that’s actually true, he showed a serious lapse of judgment in loading his team with partisans.

    The media doesn’t report on it, but Mullet’s past is a little checkered. He and Comey blew the anthrax case back in 2001. They convicted the wrong man and the government was forced to pay a 5 million dollar settlement.

    Average people get fired from their jobs every day for that degree of incompetence.
