President Joe Biden is forcing Chicago's top federal prosecutor to resign amid ongoing criminal probes of powerful Illinois Democrats and their associates.

U.S. attorney John Lausch is prosecuting close confidants of Democrat boss Mike Madigan, an ally of former president Barack Obama who resigned from the state legislature Thursday after a decades-long reign in Springfield. Lausch's office will also prosecute Chicago alderman Edward Burke (D.), an influential figure accused of strong-arming businesses into retaining his law firm.

Lausch's abrupt removal has drawn bipartisan criticism from Illinois lawmakers who say he should be allowed to finish his work or depart on a longer timeline to ensure an orderly transition. The president asked all Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys to resign by the end of February but allowed two to remain in place to conclude politically sensitive work.

With much of the state's Democratic establishment in his sights, it's not clear why Biden did not extend the same courtesy to Lausch. Madigan's resignation, timed as it is with Lausch's imminent departure, will raise even more pointed questions for Lausch's successor about the future of the case.

If Trump did this he would be impeached.

Change title to:

Trump has meeting with US Attorney hot on trail or Republican Corruption”

and see what happened. Trump would not have had to fire him, he could have just talked to him in private and the Left would have become unhinged.

They will operate with total impunity with regard to criminal law. And they will operate with impunity with regard to constitutional law (even more so than now) once they get the court packed.

No doubt.

He was impeached over hearsay of a phone conversation and a incursion into the Capitol that was preplanned long before his speech.

Is a schism forming between Biden and Obama because biden is trying to fire the US attorney. How come the media isn’t covering the cracks in the relationship instead of asking joe his favorite color

Elections have consequences and clearly obstruction of justice has no consequences.

They did not stand in the way of the steal and this is what they got? People never learn that bad people (Biden and company) do bad to all around them.

Trump fired Comey and it led to a special investigation. Comey and other agency heads lied to trump and said there was no investigation into him. Permanent government were giving trump the illusion that there was no investigation, and when he fired Comey. . Comey and the rest of the swamp screamed that trump only fired him because of the investigation.

Of course, CA...double standard would be a joke in this scenario. If Trump stole and election, or rationalized the looting/burning of Cities and the desecration of Government Property...he would be jailed, if not executed.

The only question remaining is how long does the Right tolerate this in-the-face REAL Insurrection toward "fundamental change", and how the dog fight required to end it...kicks off. As the outrage increases by the day due to radical and insane Dem Policy...the pressure builds. The straw/camel's back scenario will likely happen via some random and innocuous event; think Syria and Teens dissing the 'government' via graffiti...and the farmer in Egypt that self-immolated on the steps of Power.

Bottom line: all the 'System' stuff is bs and fluff in the real world of what will determine the future of this Nation. John Sullivan called "for a Revolution"; he is going to get one.
