'Trump Is Not Above the Law': 400,000+ People Await Word of Rapid-Response Protests as Sessions Firing Could Mean Mueller's Next

Jake Johnson, staff writer

After President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday and named as his temporary replacement Matthew Whitaker—a Trump loyalist who argued in an opinion piece last year that the Russia probe has gone "too far"—progressive advocacy groups urged Americans to prepare to take to the streets amid warnings that Trump could move to terminate Special Counsel Robert Mueller next.

Trump and his ilk have been and always will be above the law. Nixon committed Treason, Reagan the October surprise, Bush stole 2 elections. It does not stop it only gets worse. We need a progressive wave not a blue whatever it was to make changes. First the billionaire crooks need to pay taxes and go to jail. Votes not money need to decide all the elections. Direct democracy is good, but any corporation can buy any election now, look at the propositions in various states. The danger here is the corporate Dems will give Trump his tax cuts and deregulations for which he will take credit along with the nominal infrastructure and health care reforms for which he will take credit. End voter suppression and gerrymandering. We need to go to a real system of democracy like they have in Europe. A parliamentary system.

Stick your tiny USA flag out of the window of your camo-colored Bronco and turn up Limbaugh full blast. Good luck finding work when the country goes shithole.

Is Debbie Wassername Shultz and the Awan brothers above the law? Is Clinton and her email breach of national security above the law? I’d like to see MoveOn get the people out for those crimes against USA.

Trump should be in Prison

Or is your assignment to divert from that course.

that’s the beauty of this whole juvenile campaign! “Circle the wagons to defend the serial perjurer!”

Democrats jumped the shark two years ago. They’re done.

No, not because of policy, but because of government takeover.

People are reporting about a second Trump option: keep Mueller on at his usual salary but cut the rest of his investigative budget to perhaps $1 per year. Without even a phone or a copier in the office, Mueller takes the hint and goes to work for the House Judiciary Committee in January.
