Probably stay republican with the chief Justice Roberts as the judge, win it there and declare a victory. And thats what he should do. Well, we have to remember bill clinton was impeached but stayed in office. So it doesnt necessarily mean it would be the end of his precedency. Takes a two thirds vote, remember. So, jack, would firing him get the president his ability to control the Special Counsel investigation. That would be the only reason of getting rid of rosenstein. I think itll be exceedingly difficult. I cant imagine someone will come in and sit in rosensteins place and try to babysit him and redirect of the course of the investigation. Thats just not going to happen. I totally agree with everything bob said, by the way. And i think if he tries to replace rosenstein, if he tries
to replace sessions, it would be seen for what it is. It would be seen as the act of a man with a guilty mind. Innocent people dont behave this way. They dont threaten to fire anyone whos taken a hard l

Didnt take the oil because among other reasons that is called plunder and prett
Clear why that Decision Wasnt Made To Press charges further and the police chief addressed that as well. In may of 13, we did have a situation where online threatening comments were made. We had a detective assigned to investigate it. The detective spoke with Legal Counsel for the Capital Gazette. Several members of the Capital Gazette staff. It was discussed that the Capital Gazette did not wish to pursue criminal charges. There was near doing so would exacerbate an already flammable situation. Reporter craig, so a lot of questions about what could have been done differently then. Although its likely it would have just ban Restraining Order situation. We dont know whether that would have changed events here but thats part of the conversation going on here. Interesting to hear the police chief talk how this guy is still not cooperating and also they used facial Recognition Software to help identify him. What more do we know about that .

Alex, emotions raw there. We saw the family and the protesters at that News Conference today. They want justice for their family member. And the city bracing for possible more protests . R
