BoA stole 2,000 from my acc and then closed it. Now they said they returned my $$ to the closed acc. Do you have time to report about tax payers being rob by monster institutions?

Cool, I'm sure most EXemployees dislike the management. Welcome to the outside. 😘

Let your voices be heard.

Were will these Obama holdovers be working on Monday

here we go with the far Lt Dems with their……resist crap again… they really need to get a grip on reality & get a life……

Who needs cable, when you have American politics?

All the more reason to appoint him

So. They were all Democrats.

Wahhhhhhhh

And 398+ are fake names. LOL!!!

That’s 400 Deep State cutthroats that should be terminated!

Sounds like a great reason to keep Matt Whittaker on as Acting AG. DrainTheDeepState MAGA2020

Wow lots of former employees have lots to hide ...

Don't let him in. He does Not belong in our government period. Not another Unqualified. Lordie please.

Then he must be the right guy 😂😂 we all know that place is deeply corrupt

“Former employees”, there must be thousands of them... what gave those 400+ a right to choose who the president can appoint at acting AG?

So how many of these ex DOJ Obama deep state supporters have either been demoted, fired or left because of illegal/unethical behavior. Luckily, the deep state doesn’t have the authority to appoint/nominate the A.G/acting A.G. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!! MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!

Said in my best, incredulous, Alan Iverson voice, 'former, we talkin about former?' Damn!

Oh yeah I am not surprised u are all despised by the common man your relentless leftist crap is disgraceful my wish this holiday season is may u all be exposed for the fake & foney hypocrites & liars that u are Amen!!! & HALLELUJAH !!!!!!!

DonaldTrump appointed a criminal like himself.

I can't believe that we hire such people to work in government. 400 former Obama and Bush employees in the US Justice Department need to be fired for partisan politics. This man is an interim AG. He does not need congressional approval unless picked to succeed Jeff Sessions.

Why is this still in the news, after another person has been appointed?

Keyword “FORMER”. They don’t matter!!!

So? Not their choice.

So? When any of those 400 become president they can appoint who they want.

Wow the DOJ is so political

So who cares about 'FORMER' employees!!! Why do u think they are former!!!!

FBI headed by a crook

400+ opinions that don’t matter.

Former!!!! What’s next, dead people hate him too!

I don't see a Former Employee Approval Process as ever working.

Sabriyyah54 Its a pity they are former employees.

Who cares. They are former corrupt swamp employees of the 1%.

JuddApatow The fact that the GOP has chosen to ignore everyone, even people of their own party, in servitude of this awful president is astonishing. We all must remember that when it mattered GOP chose power over us, the people.

And?

Key word.... *FORMER

Only 400, come on MSNBC you can do better than that

And yet.....that’s not how this process works. Imagine that!

'former' employees? we need a permanent a.g., who will protect us we the ppl from corruption. let mueller complete his probe, n assign a 2nd special counsel to investigate CLEAR HILLARY N FRAME TRUMP-CORRUPTION, fisa court-abuse, 4th amend violations against americans, unmaskings

Cry and cry but they haven't done anything illegal 🤣

Whitaker’s appointment is NOT unconstitutional or invalid. Under the Vacancies Reform Act, the President is authorized to designate as Acting A-G an officer or employee who has been at the DOJ for at least 90 days. Whitaker meets this legal standard.

400 liberals who have no voice when it comes to Whitaker.

And all 400+ will soon get the wrath of individual 1!! Let the tweets begin!!

That sounds very significant to me but 'testa dura' trump knows better than career, very learned and experienced professionals in the justice department. Sign of a jerk.

WTF cares what they want? Trump runs the DOJ. If they don't like it QUIT.

Thank GOD! Some people with SPINES! Thank you for doing the right thing for us all.

Did u say ex?

400 lib ex-employees, so who cares?

And realDonaldTrump 304 electoral votes say he gets to pick anyone he wants. So what's your point

Isn’t this yesterday’s news now that a permanent AG has been nominated!

Former

What's that suppose to do? Who cares what they signed?

Better put his pick in then

Wow. 400 employees don’t want their ex boss to get a job. Guess the other couple of thousand don’t matter. Atleast according to a bias msnbc poll

Since when does anyone listen to bitter ex-employees?

“Former”. Who cares?

How many times are you going to repeat this?

You need to update the name

He looks evil - but it's possible that he's not. Unlikely, yet possible.

400 Obama HOLDOVER Democrats. Ok, so I guess they can seek employment in another Department or go job hunting I guess. 🤦‍♂️

And?

Former employees. All bitter and unemployable who cares what they think

Keep your eye on the ball. These are just distractions from the Pres. Real news: un indicted conspirator in multiple felonies

This surprises no one.

Nothing Says We Can't Stand You As 400+ Employees of TheJusticeDept Who Signed A Statement Released Tuesday Opposing potus' Appointment of Corrupt MattWhitaker As Acting AttorneyGeneral {I Wonder How Many AGs Would Also Sign A Statement Stating The Same PAAttorneyGen.

4 days old

Sounds like 400+ have something to hide!

Get over it already

Former, being the operative term. Nobody gives a shit what 400 ex employees sign.

Two weeks old. You can do better

Only 400? I figured they could drum up more Obama hires than that.

I let my former employees influence my decisions too... 🙄

The Latest: US orders some diplomats out of VenezuelaCARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The Latest on the political crisis in Venezuela (all times local): 6:55 p.m. The State Department is ordering non-essential diplomats and staff at the U.S. Embassy in Venezuela to leave the country. The department says it's taking the step for security reasons and that the embassy in Caracas will stay open. The move follows the Trump administration's rejection of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's order to break relations with the U.S. and for American diplomats to depart by the weekend. The administration says Maduro's order isn't legal because the U.S. no longer recognizes him as Venezuela's legitimate leader. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump recognized the opposition leader and head of Venezuela's parliament as the interim president. That prompted Maduro to sever relations with Washington. I realize they’re separate things but the headline on the picture and the tweet kind of suggests the state dept are Russian officials 🤣 Which is fine, because they were asked to leave already. Oh look, an actual crisis
