Judge Nap: Whitaker Not 'Legally Qualified' to Be Acting Attorney General

Judge Nap is wrong. This is a vacancy appointment as AG Sessions RESIGNED.

Baloney.... it was INVOLUNTARY:

At your request, I am submitting my resignation.

In other words, he was TOLD to "resign"...

And anybody with half a brain knows this actually means that he was FIRED...

Baloney.... it was INVOLUNTARY:

If one is REQUESTED to do something, has the ability to refuse, and does it anyway, that is NOT INVOLUNTARY.

A RESIGNATION does not spin into a FIRING.

Whitaker is going to take his boot and crush you commies skulls. Like dopers boot on the head.

Might as well go full retard and appoint America's Mayor, the Iranian Student, Ruby

Whitaker

Whitaker is a dumbass fraud who'll wind up as Trump's sacrificial scapegoat (I'll be laughing my ass off as Rudy Giulliani stabs him in the back) Whitaker will wind up behind bars longer than John Mitchell...

He is coming for anyone that voted for democrats because they are murderers by definition.

Definition Democrat- A murderer of innocent children. A person who is attracted to someone of their same sex. A thief that wants to live off of someone else's labor. An anti christian bigot who hates God and morals. Someone who cuts off or has someone cut off their penis because they are mentally ill and do not know their sex.
