I learned in a press release from the Attorney General tonight that I was 'stepping down' as United States Attorney. I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position, to which I was appointed by the Judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate. Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption. I cherish every day that I work with the men and women of this Office to pursue justice without fear or favor - and intend to ensure that this office's important cases continue unimpeded
"In May 2018, Bolton says, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan handed Trump a memo claiming innocence for a Turkish firm under investigation by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York for violating Iranian sanctions.
"Trump then told Erdogan he would take care of things, explaining that the Southern District prosecutors were not his people, but were Obama people, a problem that would be fixed when they were replaced by his people,” Bolton writes.
Barr continuing his corrupt practice of protecting Trump and Trump allies. At least this guy is fighting back.
I have no plan to buy the book. The point - my point - is that you're confused. The man is the man; the book is the book. Two different things. — tim wood
Things might go so that they don't even debate.Biden and Trump don't need to debate policy and precedent. The American people don't want that. What we need is a water drinking contest. And if Biden can run down a ramp he'll have November locked down. — Maw
I stand before you today to declare the silent majority is stronger than ever before. Five months from now, we're going to defeat sleepy Joe Biden. Why does he get a pass from these people? We're going to stop the radical left.
But it's probably better for us to just watch that disaster. I flew in with some of our great Congressmen who were going to introduce in a second and I said to him Congressman what do you think? I can straighten it out fast. You would just go in. No sir, let it simmer for a little while. Let people see what radical Left democrats will do to our country, but Americans have watch Left, wing radicals burned down, buildings loot businesses destroy private property.
I don't forecast the elections to be ugly. I think they will be hideously ugly, even if Biden isn't as inflammatory to the Republicans as Hillary was. — ssu
Yes.Perhaps the most interesting factoid to come out of the Bolton book is that Trump actually wants to be re-elected. I had always assumed that Trump would be fine with loosing the re-election and leveraging his status as ex-president to stroke his ego. But, if the Bolton book is accurate in that regard, he has actually invested his ego into being re-elected. That will guarantee it gets very ugly. — Echarmion
