Once again Lindsey has proven that he is totally part of the swamp and not the least bit interested in draining the swamp. AG Barr announced yesterday that the US Attorney for Manhattan was being replaced and that person refused to resign so today at Barr’s request, Trump fired him. It’s fairly obvious that the individual involved had an anti Trump agenda. Like all other presidential appointees, he serves at the pleasure of the president. In a rare occurrence he wasn’t appointed by Trump or Obama but by the federal district court judges in that district. I don’t know how that happened and have not researched how it’s even possible but it happened.

Now the reason for the rant. Graham said today that as chairman of the senate judiciary committee, he would not consider Trump’s nominee for the position absent what’s called a blue slip approval from the two senators from New York. That means that any Trump nomination would have to be approved by Schumer and Gillibrand. There is no chance in hell that they would ever approve anyone Trump nominated. Trump is entitled to people on his staff that don’t work to undermine him. And Graham needs to resign.
