a lot of information about him. I think he was an Obama appointee.

Very disappointing, especially for an Obama appointee. I hope he ends up ashamed of himself.

So I don't hold out much hope, unless he is stealth.

Not that I think he would have been named had he not promised to uphold them . . . but I didn't see that in the statement I read.

Since Trump purportedly wanted to ask the potential supreme court justices about whether they would uphold it, it would be hard to imagine he wouldn't ask his enforcement arm.

about the guy from the photo. He can be the dorkiest-looking person in the world and we'll call him a hero if he says fuck you to Trump and resigns. He could be George Clooney's double but if he doesn't resign I'll call him a dork. And worse.

...I'm expecting the worst from anyone Trump puts in a position of power and responsibility.

I do not think Trump would select somebody that may turn on him.

I normally do not make such judgments about "ordinary" looking people, but, again, this fucker is a Trump (and/or Bannon?) pick.

Might not have been his words.

He could be a hero or a coward. Let's hope he is a hero.

so he's getting close to retirement. Maybe he just wants to protect his pension, but wouldn't you want to be remembered as a hero instead of a sellout?

Dana James Boente (born February 7, 1954) is the newest sock puppet for the Trump Administration as of January 30, 2017[1] and was previously the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.[2]

Bold type is mine.

OK, which one of you edited it?
