President Donald Trump is planning to tap the U.S. attorney in Washington, Jessie Liu, to fill the long-vacant No. 3 position at the Justice Department, the White House announced Tuesday.
Picking Liu for the No. 3 position could assuage concerns among some senators about Trump’s pick for deputy attorney general, Deputy Transportation Secretary Jeffrey Rosen, who has no prosecutorial experience. Attorney General William Barr, who was confirmed last month, said in a statement Tuesday that he recommended Liu for the post and was pleased Trump made the nomination.
“With her record of public service, particularly in civil justice and federal law enforcement matters, it is clear that she will be an outstanding addition to our leadership team at the Department,” Barr added.
This should be headline on all media outlets. This is a huge gambit to influence the important cases of Manafort, Stone, et al. CNN MSNBC

Trump to nominate Jessie Liu for No. 3 spot at Justice Dept.Liu served on Trump’s transition team, a position Democrats raised as a potential conflict of interest during her confirmation to be U.S. attorney for D.C. Then any political position, tied to any media company or political party, is grounds for being denied a government position. These people are sick in the head. 100% an attempt at obstruction of justice. This is, quite frankly, the most deliberate attempt at obstructing the cases she is overseeing. This stinks from hell to high water! This, CAN NOT STAND resist revolt
