Possibly said somewhere downthread/apologies if repeating:

But I figure Meatball figures he can't recuse and not suffer the endless whinging of Prednizdent No Impulse Control, same as Sessions endured his entire stay. So it's pretty much find some excuse not to, however he can, whatever he actually figures he can get away with.

... this may be the slightly dizzy unwarranted optimism of the holiday cheer talking, mind. The idiocy here is Trumps's and his of course that Slab Bulkhead is even anywhere _near_ this position. I do hope people are sleeping with one eye open, all the same.

Luckily for Whitaker, there aren't any people fitting that description in the entire Trump administration.

He's unlikely to have much mettle to test, anyway.

It's too late, Meatball. Murder away. All the important indictments are sealed and waiting for the go code, and you can't stop that. Anything you could stop has been handed off to states where you don't have the authority to call the shots, and they will run with that motherfucker.

Excellent observation! What employer in their right mind would see "worked for the Trump administration" as a PLUS on a job applicant's resume? (Unless, of course, that potential employer were ALSO named Trump.)

Dad cut our hair to "save money". Of course, the only style he could do was a crewcut, so I went through much of the sixties and early seventies with one of those.

I retired at the end of March 2015. Haven't been to a barber since.
