Not surprising that Trump would consider firing anyone found not completely helping him in any regard no matter if that help is legal or not.

Now we know it is a leak

But as we have seen from NYT/WashPo, many turn out to be factual

Wait till the public testimony begins, he will be taking a ton of private time.

He should have fired EVERY tom dick and harry from the previous administration down a minimum of 3 grades if not 4. Cleaned house of all the upper echelon bureaucrats. Why he didn't I don't know.

And many turn out to be real. Like when it turned out to be real that the President was trying to extort and bribe a foreign country to interfere in our elections for his own personal benefit.

Trump firing the ICIG would be a pretty stupid move, one I don't think even Trump is dumb enough to make.

Do you have a reason for this which doesn't include partisanship or conspiracy theories?
 
Add a count to the impeachment that he dared think about something.

Your injecting your opinion as a fact but hey its a free country. Y opinion differs from yours about if it was a bribe or not.

Trump appointed Atkinson to his post and the Republicans in the Senate confirmed Atkinson to his post. Atkinson prosecuted Bill Clinton while he was working in George W. Bush's DOJ. This isn't some Obama holdover.

You people need a new schtick. The one you are overusing isn't working.

Then the entire institution is in prison. Bad plan. Half the people Trump hires go to prison. And you want that filling the ranks of our institution? That's lunacy.

No, not my opinion. It is a fact that several witnesses have testified to what the President did.

Do you not pay attention to the news or are you just deliberately ignoring the news?

So what do you call it when the President tells the leader of a foreign country that Trump will give the foreign leader what he wants (White House visit) if the foreign leader manufactures a phony scandal against Trump's political rival?

What do you call it when someone with power says to another "If you do exactly as I say, I will give you something you desire"?

It's more like stopping anyone who doesn't think that their official job is working for this president, not the United States.

That is illiegal and would probably be a violation of the Pendleton civil service reform act.

It would be easier to answer the following question ... Who has Trump not thought about firing in the last 3 years? :lol:

The answer would be Ivanka and Jared ... everybody else has been at least once in the "line of fire" ... or has been "walked out" of their position.

:lamo

I appreciate your opinion that Trump does not hire the very best people. Perhaps he just lives for the chance to claim "YOUR FIRED" just one more time. :lol:

I expect that those that have testified, bad things are coming.

There is a site where one can donate to pay for these peoples legal bills. As the Admin does not cover this
Ambassador Taylor flew back on his own dime, hired lawyers on his own dime, to perform their Constitutional duties

L.Col Vindman and his brothers military careers have ended.

Just the way the Military works

One can be right, blessed by Moses in the desert, and praised by Jesus from the Temple mount, you are still toast

On the contrary ... he hires first the crap the GOP gives him to work with, because those guys know who the "experts" are in the fields (sarcasm) - starting with Sessions -, but when they don't deliver, he fires them and appoints someone else. Easy as that.

By the way ... it's YOU'RE FIRED.

Do that and many of these reporters, like Maggie Haberman have been on the money.
Thing is when one considers a substantial part of media of being Fake News, leaves you the impartiality of Hannity and Fox

Not a lot of thought went into that.

Have a cup of tea

Those that cross him, those he thinks are disloyal, equals a substantial number

Thanks so much for the spelling correction. I'm sure my spelling error erases any thought from your mind that Trump could use a little help in the hiring sphere. He claimed he would hire the very best people. I would dare you to name one such hire... Take your time :lol:

I agree that Sessions was not a fitting character for AG....but then the man found a moral compass and a realization that he was knee deep in Russian games so he recused himself. Not what Trump requires of his Yes Men.

What exactly....please be specific.... do you reference when you say "when they don't deliver" ?

The reason he didn’t is because it would have been stupid.
