Yea Yea. blah Blah Blah!!

How can this appointment happen. He is clearly chosen to protect the Trump family from their unethical practices.

What are they all worried about? Will he get to uncover things they don’t want uncovered, this is not about Muller it’s about them. The president will keep him on they can’t do noththing about it. Until he decides who the replacement will be not Rosenstine. Make them sweat Mr P.

Officials in Maryland might want to read the constitution...

Actually, President Obama was informed of a violation of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act during his presidency.

Good time to put some values back in how who is appointed

He didn't sidestep anything. You fools don't even know what you are talking about.

“The Maryland filing was made Tuesday...That lawsuit names Sessions as an individual defendant. The state asks the judge to substitute Rosenstein as the defendant in place of Sessions, a move that would effectively declare him the proper attorney general.”

Every state in the United States of America should challenge/sue, everyone of them, it’s called justice.

Yeah the goyem is at it again. Righteousness and Justice. Two of the three pillars of Christian faith.

plus he's a crook:

Lmfao

The previous AG resigned thus giving the POTUS realDonaldTrump the authority to appoint The Honorable Matthew Whitaker as the next AG. Fair and square MAGA

What a joke! MD wake up!
