Engel explained it to Trump in a way he could understand.

“May have”? All you have is more speculation?
Whether he made the decision and then rescinded it is a relatively minor detail. It doesn't change the content of Clark's letter, Trump's desire to corruptly use the DoJ to pursue a second term, or his intention to fire Rosen to be replaced by the incompetent sycophant known as Jeff Clark.
 
So, instead of critical approach, you opt for bias confirmation.
So, instead of a critical approach that includes any attempt to refute the reported facts, you opt for denigrating the source of the facts. It's pathetically transparent.

Let me know when you have facts, and not some story that can not be challenged…
 
Steven Engel was the former assistant attorney general for the office of legal counsel in the Trump admin. He was in the room with acting AG Rosen and acting Asst. AG Donoghue when the three men explained to Don there would be a mass resignation at the DoJ if he went through with the plan to fire Rosen, replacing him with the buffoon known as Jeffrey Clark.

When Trump turned to Engel, who had by far served in the admin the longest, and asked his opinion of firing Rosen, he said he couldn't be a part of it. But Engel said something else that got through to the Orange Fraud.

He said no one in the country was going to read Clark's letter. The one purporting to put the entire weight of the DoJ behind the idea GA should throw out its election results and let the legislature pick new electors supporting Trump. That nobody was going to find evidence of voter fraud. He said what the country will pay attention to is after having gone through 2 AG's Trump finally settled on an environmental lawyer, unqualified to be AG, because he was willing to do what no other high ranking DoJ official would agree to.

Bingo! Trump understood. He wasn't persuaded not to fire Rosen by virtue of it being an attempt to corruptly use the DoJ to suit his needs. He was persuaded by the optics, by how it would look. Causing a constitutional crisis was not the issue for Trump. How things would be seen by the public was the primary concern.


The House Jan. 6 committee hearing on Thursday afternoon focused on what it said was a "brazen attempt" by then-President Donald Trump to misuse the Department of Justice for his own political gain.

The panel heard from three former officials directly affected by Trump's pressure campaign: former attorney general Jeffrey Rosen, former deputy attorney general Richard Donoghue and former top DOJ lawyer Steve Engel, all of whom said they repeatedly told Trump allegations of widespread voter fraud were untrue.

All three men described in stunning detail the desperate attempts by Trump and his allies to recruit the department in his plot to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden -- which culminated in a plan to replace Rosen with Jeffrey Clark, a less-qualified but loyal official who was leading the department's environmental division.


Of note, a judge issued a subpoena to search Clark's home because of a probability evidence of a crime would be found there.


The details of Trump's corrupt, criminal behavior revealed by the committee, and the clarity with which they are being presented, is a reflection of the excellent work the members have done. It's a tremendous service to the nation. One they should be commended for.
The next POTUS from our side needs to fire the entire DOJ and replace them all.
More so than even Bill Clinton did...........

They no longer serve justice................

Your post said he may replace Rosen with Clark. So he did? Didn’t? May have? And now you said would have? You haven’t made up your mind yet?

BTW, we have not had a competent President in many many years, this is the system we created and it is going to get worse. That is what we should focus on, encourage the best minds to run instead of incompetents to run for office.

Every prez typically replaces the folks in the US Attorney's offices. That's not replacing everyone in the DoJ. The fact that people in the DoJ did serve justice is what kept Trump from corruptly using it more than he did. Using DoJ resources to track down every baseless allegation of fraud was already an abuse.
 
I would think that that is the last thing that the progressives against Trump would want at this point...They think they're doing quite well with their one sided narrative. Put it into open court and all will come out...
That's a combination of wishful thinking and whistling past the graveyard.
Trump would get his ass handed to him in open court. No bullshit allowed like the claims of non-existent widespread fraud. :)

These hearings actually make Trump look a whole lot worse.
He should have just conceded the election, lick his wounds, and plan for 2024.

Given they don't try the elites for known crimes...........time for all of them corrupt fuckers to be sent packing.
 
Funny, I don't see the name of the issuing Judge in the article, if it were a Trump appointed judge the writer would have made sure to put that in there....

This is where leftists just love acting like brown shirts...Notice how since it is a Trump ally they publicly humiliate him in the streets, were if the same warrant were issued for a democrat ally it would have been executed in quiet, during the day, with as little theatre as possible...

Stunts like this is why in the end leftists like you berg will lose, and not hold power for possibly the rest of your natural life....
Be honest....if the judge happens to have been appointed by Trump - wouldn't you just brush that off as the judge being a Deep State RINO traitor anyway -- so why act like who appointed the judge matters to you

Hmmm. Using the "they all do it" technique. Not exactly original, and just as lame as all the other rationalizations keeping you from admitting Trump engaged in criminal behavior.

I’ll agree that President Trump didn’t handle the results well, but all he was doing was challenging the result of several states that looked as though fishy stuff went on.
Then IMHO, in an unprecedented show of in your face conspiracy the states that violated their own constitutions where it comes to election rules, and the courts in which aided this, shot down challenges, and ushered Trump out, not because his policies were a threat, but because the left who had largely acted like destructive, and petulant children for his entire Presidency, threatened the entire nation if Trump wasn’t removed.

You want a coup? There’s your coup.
