PeteWilliamsNBC RODSTEIN IS IN FACT AN INDICTABLE SUSPECT IN THIS CASE THE ONLY THING HE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR IS PRISON ! HE AND HIS UGLY WIFE OWE THEIR LIVES TO OBAMA ,CLINTON, AND MUELLER

PeteWilliamsNBC He should step down it’s disgraceful

PeteWilliamsNBC Trump is a russian agent & a corporate criminal & a white xenophobic nationalist racist spoiled rich brat. Who serves & cares for no one but himself. He's a terrorist and needs to go back to private sector & take his friends with him. Sue, pass law protect this country & people!

PeteWilliamsNBC Who appoints someone they don’t know in such a high profile and critical position in Government?

PeteWilliamsNBC Stop calling him the acting AG. His appointment is illegal. He doesn't deserve the title.

PeteWilliamsNBC Rosenstein is a criminal and insurrectionist. Msnbc is the enemy of USA citizens. TheJusticeDept FBI realDonaldTrump POTUS VP senatemajldr RudyGiuliani MattWhitaker46

PeteWilliamsNBC There shouldn't be a discussion about this Trump Rigged AG-ITS OBVIOUS & CANT CONTINUE

hardball PeteWilliamsNBC Daddy Warbucks!!!

PeteWilliamsNBC Maybe you are afraid he'll start investigate MSNBC too🤔

PeteWilliamsNBC No illegality. POTUS is POTUS, Dummies. Read the Constitution. POTUS RudyGiuliani GOP

PeteWilliamsNBC New Ag can end with hunt if he wants to. Democrats will obstruct justice if they interfere

PeteWilliamsNBC We have an Acting AG who should be in Prison! He isalso Unqualified!

PeteWilliamsNBC pres has constitutional authority, n should appoint cabinet level officials, whom he has full confidence to do the job n to serve us, we the ppl. its that simple. fake news media, dems, n left can cry all they want to no avail: wait for ur chance in 2020.

PeteWilliamsNBC Democrats are obstructing justice if they interfere with the new AG Plan with the mueeler witch hunt investigation

PeteWilliamsNBC just look at his face he looks like a guy holding up a bank

PeteWilliamsNBC He knows this one, with the fraud investigation and past partisan comments, he could not possibly make it through confirmation. even with the group of Republicans now in the Senate. This was Trump's 'Hail Mary'.

PeteWilliamsNBC All the uproar isn't doing you any good. The damage has already been done. The minute he was appointed, he got to see everything that Mueller has. Which means realDonaldTrump saw it the next minute. Whether he replaces him now or not makes no difference. He got what he wanted.

PeteWilliamsNBC IS LINDESY GRAHAM MITCH MCCONNELL OPERATIONS VLADIMIR PUTIN PLAN TOO DESRTROY USA FBI CIA

PeteWilliamsNBC I am confused. The message should be Trump appoints man that will end the investigation in to him. Period. We all know why he appointed this dude. FFS no reason to sugar coat it.

PeteWilliamsNBC Everything Trump does is dogged by legal questions.... The law is for others, not the Trumps... so they see it. However, they may find out differently before this is over...

PeteWilliamsNBC It’s the prerogative of the President and legally so, to appoint whosoever he deems qualified to fill the position. He is under no legal requirement to appoint the Deputy AG. You idiots need to read up on Constitutional law and the authority it gives the Pres.

PeteWilliamsNBC What can be done at this point? Can he be removed?

PeteWilliamsNBC He can appoint whomever he want AS LONG AS that person has been through the Senate confirmation process.

PeteWilliamsNBC ...we should be investigating everything rump does...he’s made that obvious...eyeswideshut

PeteWilliamsNBC He won't last there

PeteWilliamsNBC This will probably my not end well for Whitaker.

PeteWilliamsNBC This administration is full of creeps.
