Black simply says "some success"

no one who has any clue ever thought that winning a trade war with a giant like china would be "easy", or without sacrifices and setbacks. IF Trump is successful in the end, and yes, that's a very big 'if', then the sacrifices will easily have been worth it. it's risky to go on the offence like Trump does on China, but it is a very much justifiable decision. the stakes are high, yes, and the chance is sizable that trump's efforts ultimately fail and leave america worse off than without the trade war. I dont deny that. But in my opinion, there is also a sizable chance that Trump's approach is successful in the end, and in that case, that's a huuuuge win for America.

that'd be reasonable if the new ag was unbiased and not specifically nominated for this very reason. how stupid do you have to be to act like this is even debatable? there is no benefit of the doubt when there is no doubt...

so funny, every time you get slapped and exposed in one of our little discussions you are sooo desperate to find 'allies' to chum up to (mostly your intellectual equals like nazi poo and endlesscry) to encourage a little circle jerk... how insecure can you be?

I mean you say that like its not 90% of the regulars, tho.

the intent is irrelevant. as long as Whitaker's measures stay within the boundaries of the authority and decision-making power granted to him by the law in his capacity as AG, as long as he does that, his actions are legitimate and do not constitute "obstruction of justice".

and yes, it is trumps right to appoint an AG who, unlike Rosenstein, will actually make use of his legal leeway to limit the Mueller investigation as much as legally possible.

well, there is a select few you regularly curry favour with, all of them simple-minded right wing shit posters ofc...
you know your audience, and i'm not even saying don't do it - i'm just letting you know how obvious and pathetic it is, and how insecure it makes you look...



because he would surely be very open and public about it... who cares about the truth, the emperor can do no wrong, so the investigation has to be limited as much as possible. it's not like whitaker previously made a secret about his massive bias against it...

having likeminded people = pathetic is all i'd expect from a whipped dog like yourself.

Well, of course Whitaker cant blatantly obstruct Mueller. But whether you and other Trump haters like it or not, he IS Mueller's supervisor now, he DOES have significant and legitimate wiggling room over the way the investigation is conducted going from here.

I would really appreciate it if you and like-minded people would stop pretending like an AG using the leeway in decision-making which is granted to him by the laws of the land would automatically be illegitimate or "obstruction of justice" as soon as it affects your holy cow Mueller.
(... or the hopes of finding a deus ex machina way out of the Trump presidency that you guys are projecting onto Mueller.)

Additionally, the regulation names only one ground on which the Attorney General may reject the special counsel’s action, namely (under section 600.7(b)), that it is “so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued.” This appears to limit the Attorney General’s power under the regulation to conclusions about inappropriateness under “established Departmental practices,” rather than, for example, allowing it to turn on different good faith judgments that prosecutors might have about the proper analysis of facts or law.
