(12,422 posts)It would depend on whether her malfeasance is codified in law or just one of the "norms". But even if the latter, why not? it would still have more legal justification than what the repubs are doing.

Here he is
WASHINGTON Five days before the presidential election, the Trump administration dispatched attorney Trent Benishek of the White House general counsels office to the General Services Administration.
The agency, which oversees government leases among other administrative tasks, is little known to the general public. Nor is Benisheks name among those that have become a staple of Trumpworld reporting.
Accordingly, the move attracted no notice as the nation, and the world, focused on the Nov. 3 presidential election, perhaps the most consequential in modern American history.
GSA put out a press release, which said that as the new general counsel of the GSA, as well as its top ethics official, Benishek would advise in the formulation and promulgation of GSA policies and regulations, oversee the agencys litigation, and provide overall direction.
Then came Trumps defeat at the hands of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, announced on Saturday. Even as Biden emerged as the president-elect, Trump persisted in falsely claiming electoral fraud on the part of the Democrats. Republicans have, for the most part, stood by Trump, if not quite as enthusiastically as he may have hoped.
