    Default Trump to Attorney General who defied his travel ban: You're fired

    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-fi...l-sally-yates/

    WASHINGTON -- President Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates after she ordered Justice Dept. lawyers to stop defending President Trump’s executive order banning new arrivals to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries.

    “The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States,” the White House said in a statement on Monday night. “This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.”

    The White House said President Trump “relieved Ms. Yates of her duties” and named Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to serve as Acting Attorney General. The White House said he would serve “until Senator Jeff Sessions is finally confirmed by the Senate, where he is being wrongly held up by Democrat senators for strictly political reasons.”

    “I am honored to serve President Trump in this role until Senator Sessions is confirmed,” Boente said in the statement. “I will defend and enforce the laws of our country to ensure that our people and our nation are protected.”

    The announcement came shortly after Yates, a career official and Obama appointee, said she was “not convinced” Mr. Trump’s immigration order is “lawful” and that the Justice Department would not defend it in court “until I become convinced that it is appropriate to do so.”

    As an Obama appointment, her days were coming to a close and she'd be glad of it seeing as her boss is as nuts as Kim Jong-il.

    It's week #2 and the good times are rolling, were it a movie I'd have turned it off long ago as it is in need of a script rewrite.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Well it only took Hitler 6 years from coming to power to invasion of Poland.

    And twitter wasn't a thing yet and most people communicate with letters still.

    At best US will turn into Nazi Germany, at worse Civil War 2. Or the other way around, depends on which team you are rooting for.

    Even if Democrats take Senate back, it's meaningless as executive orders will destroy the country.

    Good job Putin.

    I honestly thing a pretty big percentage of democrat supporters are hoping for this to be a total train wreck.

    Edit, I mean, bigger than it already is. Like civil war big. Not just embarrassing governance.

    I think this is the most terrifying part. As time goes forward, it looks like a lot of people feel this way.

    Wasn't the current AG on the way out anyway? It sounds like her replacement was already in the process of being confirmed?

    There is the possibility of impeachment, although that requires Trump to knowingly and maliciously break a law while president. If his handlers can convince him to follow guidelines he should be untouchable, but he is fairly easily provoked so who knows

    The exclusion of certain countries out of the travel ban could be the start of an attempted impeachment. Well, I'm hoping anyway.

    I'm also hoping for the pee pee pictures to emerge.

    He's already bordering on breaking guidelines. And knowing Trump, he will have no issues with doing things that are explicitly against the rules.

    Not sure if a president has ever been impeached, but if it were to ever happen, now seems like a likely tenure in which to do it.

    No president has been successfully impeached

    Clinton was the closest, but the senate aquited him after the house formally charged him.

    Clinton was impeached and so was some random in 1868 Andrew Johnson(??)

    Wouldn't be surprised if trump is impeached given that Clinton was for telling a white lie about his affair which really was no business of the public.

    But maybe that is part of this master plan no one knows about that our chem trail, alien from the 10 planet believers keep talking about
