Painter tweet, minutes ago: "Obstruction of Justice Orange Alert. Be ready."




Obstruction of Justice Orange Alert: Trump is flipping out over a book, Bannon is talking, Jared is cowering, Sessions is feeling pressure to quit so someone else can fire Mueller. And in about eight hours it will be Saturday night. Be ready.

Sorry, that's what I think of when I hear "Orange Alert."

I do think we are likely in for another burst of craven actions from the Dumpster Fire President and his cabal. Stay tuned.

They get quick convictions by making deals with those charged in exchange for cooperation in the investigation into those higher on the food chain.

Wolff's book just came out yesterday, but he's quoting Bannon from before the inauguration. Actually Wolff had several interviews and convos with Bannon over the first 6 months of Cheeto's term. So I'm guessing Bannon said a lot of stuff, so did everybody else.
Somebody must be reading the book to Cheeto, because he's illiterate. Maybe he got the audiobook.

If AG is fired or quits, can his appointed replacement fire Mueller before he is confirmed by Congress. ??????????

22. The replacement won't be sworn in until after Senate approval

So no, the replacement doesn't actually have the job until he (or she) is approved by the Senate.
And there's always the chance that the Senate won't approve replacement.
