Trump Fired Obama Attourney General

[Brynmr]

"Donald Trump just fired Sally Yates. This is a white nationalist government coup happening right before our eyes" - Keith Ellison pandering to his ISIS base

Hahahaha... see what I mean!! Tons of fun!!! LOL

We need to laugh AT these fools and I love how Trump remains unruffled - not letting these a holes rattle him.

 

[Fang]

Good! Fire anyone who refuses to enforce the law. Drain the swamp!

MORE VOTES FOR THE GOP IN 2018!

Ya can't make this stuff up folks.

Trump's EO violated the 1st Amendment regarding religion.

The list of nations was created by Obama, Shitforbrains.

Not based on religion, dumbass.

Same list, dumbass.

Your ongoing stupidity is painful.

*Bonus: Obama’s “seven countries” taken out of context: Trump’s claim that the seven countries listed in the executive order came from the Obama administration is conveniently left unexplained. A bit of background: soon after the December 2015 terror attack in San Bernadino, President Obama signed an amendment to the Visa Waiver Program, a law that allows citizens of 38 countries to travel to the United States without obtaining visas (and gives Americans reciprocal privileges in those countries). The amendment removed from the Visa Waiver Program dual nationals who were citizens of four countries (Iraq, Iran, Sudan, and Syria), or anyone who had recently traveled to those countries. The Obama administration added three more to the list (Libya, Somalia, and Yemen), bringing the total to seven. But this law did not bar anyone from coming to the United States. It only required a relatively small percentage of people to obtain a visa first. And to avoid punishing people who clearly had good reasons to travel to the relevant countries, the Obama administration used a waiver provided by Congress for certain travelers, including journalists, aid workers, and officials from international organizations like the United Nations.

Sorry, Mr. President: The Obama Administration Did Nothing Similar to Your Immigration Ban

Yeah, pretty stupid of Obama to not tighten immigration from nations he claims were harboring terrorists.
Thank God we now have a President who loves America and wishes to keep Americans safe.

Cute...snowflakes still think Islam is a peaceful religion.

 

[Clementine]

Wow, many experts didn't expect this. Dana Boente to replace her. This won't help morale at the Justice Department.

Just heard it on MSNBC. No link yet...

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates on Monday night, hours after she said the Justice Department would not defendTrump’s executive order on immigration.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said that Yates had been relieved of her duties. Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was named as acting attorney general.

Spicer’s statement said Yates had “betrayed the Department of Justice” by refusing to defend Trump’s order. The statement said Yates, a career prosecutor who Trump named as acting attorney general, is “weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration.”

Boente will serve until Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) is confirmed as attorney general.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

TRUMP SACKS ACTING A.G.

Good. She refused to do her job and was acting as a political hack instead. Good riddance, bitch.

The left is visibly agitated. We have another Trigglypuff!

 

[Bush92]

After 8 years of Obama the Justice Department needs to be purged.

 

[OnePercenter]

Ridding Women from his dictatorship?

Do you suppose this liberal is so busy falling all over himself to pretend Trump hates women, that he didn't even know Trump replaced the fired woman with another woman?

This is a Woman?

'Dana' CAN be a guy too!

 

[GWV5903]

In the White House statement, it says Sally Yates "betrayed the Dept. of Justice".

Of course, that's such a huge load of bullshit because defending the constitution is never a betrayal.

Please name verbatim what part of the Constitution was betrayed?

Just read the 1st Amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Okay once again, please state the betrayal...

It took Nixon 4 years to resort to his Saturday Night Massacre.

We're on Day 10.

Yes, things are moving faster for Trump.

 

[Bush92]

Trump doing what he was elected to do...putting out the trash.

 

[Political Junky]

any thoughts on this, sean & sebastian?

God, Sean is not aging well.

Trump fires acting attorney general: "betrayed"

In a stunning turn in a four-day drama that has defined his young presidency, President Trump, at 9:16 p.m. Monday, announced the firing of the acting attorney general who had defied him on his migrant-travel ban, saying she "has betrayed the Department of Justice."

Until the confirmation of Jeff Sessions as attorney general, Trump named Dana J. Boente, a 31-year Justice Department veteran, as acting A.G.

Boente was sworn in within an hour of the announcement, AP reported.

· Why Trump acted: Sally Yates, an Obama holdover, late Monday had ordered the Justice Department not to defend his controversial executive order imposing a 90-day ban on entry to the US. by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries.

· What Yates wrote in a letter to department lawyers: "I am not convinced that the defense of the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the Executive Order is lawful."

· The backdrop: The speed and severity of Trump's measure, which he calls the simple enactment of a signature campaign promise, has been criticized by some CEOs, Republican lawmakers and crucial allies, and prompted massive weekend demonstrations at airports around the country.

· The successor: Boente was nominated by President Obama in 2015 to be U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, based in Alexandria. Boente is a graduate of St. Louis University and its law school, and has lived in Northern Virginia for 29 years, according to his official bio.

Here is the text of the White House announcement, emailed to reporters:

Statement on the Appointment of Dana Boente as Acting Attorney General

The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.

Ms. Yates is an Obama Administration appointee who is weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration.

It is time to get serious about protecting our country. Calling for tougher vetting for individuals travelling from seven dangerous places is not extreme. It is reasonable and necessary to protect our country.

Tonight, President Trump relieved Ms. Yates of her duties and subsequently named Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to serve as Acting Attorney General until Senator Jeff Sessions is finally confirmed by the Senate, where he is being wrongly held up by Democrat senators for strictly political reasons.

"I am honored to serve President Trump in this role until Senator Sessions is confirmed. I will defend and enforce the laws of our country to ensure that our people and our nation are protected," said Dana Boente, Acting Attorney General.

Another positive move by President Trump.

I can't say that I'm shocked that the man who became a celebrity for firing people fired a woman who refused to do her job.

Trump's EO violated the 1st Amendment regarding religion.

How? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Does the EO prohibit establishment or free exercise of a religion? How are peaceably assembling person being prohibited?

 

[AntonToo]

Another positive move by President Trump.

Please, Trump can take a dump on you and you'll call it positive.

Please, Trump can take a dump on you and you'll call it positive.

While Trump is taking a dump, this nation is becoming safer and a nation of laws as it once was. (About 8 years ago....Obama was the one taking a shit and YOU ate it up!)
