So my question is this: What good is it if these AG's keep resigning? I don't get it - now they can just be replaced with SCROTUS loyalists. Can someone explain how this is a good thing?

Ed Martin was an interloper here in Missouri because he found kindred spirits in the same intolerant assholes, just like him. Fucktard.

Put a pair of glasses on Ed Martin, and I wouldn't be able to tell him from Ham Rove.

Ta, Marcie. Good for Denise Cheung. Her oath was more important that her boss's demands.

Dammit, these people need to stop resigning. "I'm not going to carry out this unlawful order, and I'm not gonna make it easy for you to appoint someone in my place who will carry it out. You're gonna have to fire me "

Seriously, guys, that's how you gum things up. Do these pubescent incels ACTUALLY have the power to force compliance? Everybody has been so busy complying in advance that that particular question has had no real test.

As we all know, F34 said to Zelensky, "I would like you to do us a favor though." WTF is that "though" doing there? What does it mean? I have been puzzling over this for years, without arriving at any kind of an answer.

How is this different from MY legal case where AG Eric Schmitt had me arrested for murder based SOLELY on the word of my psychotic pathological-liar cousin who has a lengthy criminal record involving drug arrests, DUIs and the physical abuse of women, who just walked into the AG's office and said that on the day of my father's funeral 13 years earlier I invited him to go to Walmart with him (didn't happen) where we stayed for 2 hours and I just casually said I murdered someone for kicks while wandering around and not even buying anything. And a judge issued a warrant based on that one undocumented, unverified and ludicrous statement. In my case, the judge didn't ask a single question, just signed the warrant. The primary difference, I suppose, is the judge.

If I were running a news organ today I would refuse to put any administration blow hole on the air unless it was El Supremo Unitary Executive. He is the only person who can speak authoritatively for the administration since he is immune from prosecution and legendary in his own shower for infallibility so he is the only reliable voice. Same if I was a judge. I would insist that he be in court at any hearing on Administration policy and would only accept as competent for evidentiary purposes affidavits and declarations he has signed. Heil Hair Furor.

If he and the AG are the only arbiters of the law, they should be required to show up and defend his decisions and orders at every legal case.

Nobody asked me, I know, but I do know with expertise in the matter that if you're looking for egregious, massive fraud with federal contractors, the call is coming from inside the House, and Senate, and every MF lobbyist and MAGA donor.

Unfortunately for the Legend of Zeldin, the video does not evidence any Link to criminal activity. Though I'm sure this crap will still end up all the way at SCOTUS for a Hyrule.

Gotta' admit, these DOJ folks write epic resignation letters. No grass growing under their feet.

Where is James O'Keeffe when his nation needs him? The last we heard, he was starring in a one-man version of Oklahoma! somewhere outside of Nome, but surely he could throw on the old fur-collared coat 'n' aviator sunglasses and get The Real Show back on the road to DC.

Does O'Keeffe have the range to play a nerdy EPA administrator just trying to do his job? Would he recoil for fear of resultant typecasting? What would it cost Martin & Zealous to haul him out of his, um, retirement?

Surely not more than they are already facing in legal fees.

Project Veritas is probably still a little miffed since he took all the money when he was running the place to finance his burgeoning musical comedy career.

Apparently trying to find someone to take a bullet for your incompetence is a tactic that Martin learned from Putin.

It's not working for him either.

I hate shitweasels that drag other people with integrity into their schemes only to cast blame on them later to save their worthless hides. And it is very common for them to pick a woman/minority/disabled person to be the patsy when it all goes south.
