(86,307 posts)he can only serve for a year, then has to go through confirmation.

(14,249 posts)He'll be acting AG. And, you're right - he can only serve for a limited time before having to be confirmed or replaced.
2naSalit
(86,307 posts)Thanks for clarification. I think I just heard on a news livestream that it's 230 days or so and that he can continue to serve while a new AG is being confirmed so that's in line with what you said.

(86,307 posts)temper tantrum and panic. He can't handle that he lost the House and he can't help but rage in whatever way happens.

(182,580 posts)AND the election (Montana may have pushed him over the edge) Trump just flipped out and had an eruption behind closed doors.
2naSalit
(86,307 posts)And I am sure that our keeping Tester pushed him over the edge. That was personal to him and he said so many times. He came here four times, jr at least three and pence was here at least twice.
They really invested in ousting Tester and were DENIED.
I'm a Montana voter and I am thrilled to have participated in that denial of epic proportion for the ego of chump.

(86,307 posts)but I voted in that one too. He was such a tool. So was Baccus, not sure which was worse.

If Mueller gets fired, time for a coup
2naSalit
(86,307 posts)we will reverse it. This is just what we expected but now that we have the House this can be picked up on day one for the next Congress. House committees are now being formed and will be operational on that very day. Mueller can be employed by the House cmtes. and there was some mention of having him testify to them.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)Unless Whitaker want prison like HR Halderman and John Erlichman (Nixon henchmen), he had better be careful. Both served prison terms and died disgraced.
