Waiting for Beer Kavenough to get in on the action.

[flibbitygiblets]

28. Barf Kavenaughty

Is what I call him

[Dulcinea]

31. Beer Bong Brett.

He reminds me of those guys who were always at college parties who'd try to get girls drunk, they'd figure out he was a jerk after about 5 minutes, & he'd be spotted barfing in the bushes as they left to go home with their friends.

3. Wow I may have to open that scotch bottle from the other night to toast another great day!

[jezebel321]

4. what does Rosenstein's attorney mean? Isnt he the attorney? nt

[meadowlander]

34. Maybe he's contesting the succession

To the Acting AG role?

[rzemanfl]

5. Swell, less than an hour before I have to leave to protest.

I wonder, is this is a "you're not the boss of me" filing?

[BigmanPigman]

12. I know, too much going on at once!

I just finished a sign for my neighbor to bring. I don't want to miss this though I hope they hurry.

[Tom Rinaldo]

17. Same here. Well I'm still going to the protest

I am confident all with not become well enough with the world due to what is going on at that courthouse sufficient to make our protests moot

[maxsolomon]

6. "Rosenstein's Attorney"?

His personal lawyer? A DoJ employee?

Anonymous Fed sounds like a DU GD poster responding to the TV.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. OMG Morning Joe you suck!

You too Steve Kornacki!

[maxsolomon]

15. Old Man yells at cloud

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. Rosenstein's attorney?

His personal attorney?

One of the attorney's under him at the DOJ?

Can Rosenstein still announce indictments after Whitaker took over?

So many questions.

[UniteFightBack]

9. Laurence Tribe said this can be challenged in court if someone sues who has standing....

this must be what is occurring here. RIGHT?!?!?!?

[hlthe2b]

10. Rosenstein may well be contesting Trump's naming of Whittaker as Acting AG...

THus, his own representing lawyer sent. Rosenstein would likely be the only one with standing to do so.

[unblock]

11. yes!! if my guess is right, he's seeking an injunction to prevent whitaker from taking over as a.g.

my understanding is that whitaker isn't legally qualified for the post because he's not been confirmed by the senate.

until such time, rosenstein is acting attorney general because he's the deputy a.g. and there's a vacancy in the a.g. post.

[UniteFightBack]

13. I think you're right. dotard donny chump is playing checkers with chess masters. nt

[unblock]

14. i don't know how this plays out.

let's say the courts agree, rosenstein is acting a.g.

donnie raises a ruckus and demands the senate immediately confirm whitaker or any other stooge.

is the senate really going to say no to donnie at this stage?
maybe this lame duck senate doesn't confirm him, but surely the next on will quickly in january.

so at best we have a couple months. that may be enough to get indictments in, but certainly not enough to get things to trial.

once a stooge is confirmed, the doj can basically just drop the cases donnie doesn't like.

[tinrobot]

25. or... Trump fires Rosenstein, #3 at DOJ steps up to be AG

That's the most obvious move.

If #3 doesn't comply, Trump keeps firing until he finds a Bork.

[unblock]

26. yeah, it's definitely got a saturday night massacre feel to it.

seems he was trying to short-circuit it by trying to appoint bork -- er, whitaker -- directly.

[spooky3]

32. That's what I'm wondering too. This and the next Senate

will approve anything Trump wants.

[Thekaspervote]

33. True about the lame duck, but everyday it's delayed between now and the new dem congress

Will serve us and protect mueller

[LanternWaste]

18. Of everything I've read, that seems the most reasonable explanation. nt

[Dem_4_Life]

20. I hope you are right!

[Achilleaze]

16. Ah so

[Vinnie From Indy]

19. Anonymous Fed @evilBobj

Sounds authentic.

[hlthe2b]

22. I'm not betting my lunch $$, but still, why wouldn't one or more Fed employees post

anonymously as to what they are seeing if they work in or near the courthouse? I know I would. Doesn't mean they can know the context, but....

[woodsprite]

23. Maybe they're setting up early for tomorrow. After all tomorrow is Friday! n/t

[grantcart]

29. Now if Mel Brooks was in charge of this his attorney would be George Conway

[Sedona]

35. Does anyone know of his went anywhere yesterday?

I've Googled and got crickets
