I thought "attorney general" is your equivalent of the head of the Posecutor's office as we have, who is considered a part of the judiciary branch and thus doesn't directly respond to anyone in the executive branch and them not defending a government order out of doubts about constitutionality would be seen as a possibly a "checks and balances" kind of move. But in the US, it's more like the "secretary of justice", right? A member of government appointed by the president - then it's less surprising for her to face immediate dismissal after directly opposing the president ... An AG is the attorney for the executive branch of the government, though not specifically the president’s attorney. They are independent to a degree. A district attorney, or DA is also an attorney for the executive branch, but handles criminal matters. It is the job of an AG to tell the governor or president “you cannot do that.” On May 09 2017 04:52 ShoCkeyy wrote: LMAO - John Cornyn, what a lying sack of shit... Dude says he's all for the peoples privacy, but he goes and sells himself to telecom companiess to kill Net Neutrality That is the free market. There is no privacy there. But the government can’t obtain your personal information when you called someone who is a suspected spy of your own free will. Or more importantly, no one from Obama’s administration can obtain it. | ||

Yes, I can agree with you here Plansix. I would chalk this up to incompetence + having too big of an ego to cut your lossess with respect to trump campaign. | ||

Now Cruz trying to pull snippets out of context to 'get her' and Yates responds again quite well. | ||

Also, special points to Cruz for acting out the “but her emails” meme in real time. | ||
