2. Whoa! This could be big if true. n/t

9. Big? Your fired is not big. That's what will happen.

Every president has done this.

[rzemanfl]

10. Grammar Nazi- "You're fired." It could be big if the U.S. Attorney has something on

Drumpf. It may just be that Orange Julius Caesar very publicly asked him to stay on, which would only be the lie du jour.

[yeoman6987]

11. I still don't think anything will come of it

It seems like we get the rug pulled out on us all the time. Until I see handcuffs, I won't be hopeful.

[rzemanfl]

16. With this bunch the cuffs likely won't be seen.

Because they'll be behind our backs.

[rzemanfl]

20. Watch last night's Rachel Maddow. When other presidents did this it did not

stink to high heaven.

4. YES, Go for it!

Make the thug in the White House fire him!

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. This attorney wants to do his job for the American people, so he will be fired

and half the country will CHEER that the criminal in the WH will be allowed to steal more from them as a result.

Jesus are we dumb.

[Raster]

6. YES!!! RESIST!

[shraby]

7. When firing someone, don't they have to list a "cause"? If they do, maybe

he can challenge the reason in court and bring out more than the weasel sessions wants brought out.

[BainsBane]

13. They don't need cause to fire political appointees.

[Mme. Defarge]

14. Yes, but in this case

given that he was asked by Trump to stay on, and he agreed to do so, that would constitute a verbal contract. As such, he might have grounds to sue for breach of contract.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

17. No such thing

for a political appointee.

[Mme. Defarge]

18. C'est dommage

[MelissaB]

8. It may be worth noting that this was another case under Bahrara

The US Attorney's Office may be investigating Fox News for an unspecified violation of federal law.

12. Its all part of resist, as all of us should be doing

if you live in a fascist ruled community or state. Make life miserable for everyone, government or otherwise, if they support the Fourth Reich.

[DesertRat]
