Theres an entire country full of litigators. There’s no rule that you have to bring on inside the beltway people. Especially when you’re investigating someone who ran and won on taking on those very same people.
Fair enough, but those in public practice are going to be concentrated in the beltway and other larger cities. And trial lawyers aren't really a Trump or Republican demo no matter how you slice it.

If you are arguing that he just sent this message to support her then yeah that's different, but I don't think that is the case.


He sent it right after she was fired. It reads (to me) as a nice message to a fired boss. I’ve sent messages very similar to this multiple times. If there was anything negative about Trump or anything about the travel ban being wrong then I could definitely see the problem.

He was proud of her for the way she was fired and the fact that she stood up against Trump and gives me the impression that he would like to emulate her. When we look at what she did to get fired(ignore her duties because of her political beliefs) it certainly raises questions as to his ability to do his job without ignoring his duties because of his beliefs.

The FBI needs to fire every single person hired under the Obama administration.

These fricking scum have absolutely corrupted the bureau.

You know what does make him a bad attorney. Having previous cases overturned, one being overturned by the SCOTUS 9-0. He wrongfully sent people to jail and ruined companies because he is terrible.

You can be proud if someone for taking a stand without agreeing with their reason for taking a stand.

Hell, you can tell someone you’re proud of them without actually being that proud of them. People send nice little messages like this to coworkers or bosses who get canned.

How is all of this information (text and emails) coming out now? Leaks? FOIA?

You can. That’s not what’s suggested by the email though. I mean, he said he was “In Awe” of what she’d done. While it’s possible he was just being nice, it’s about 10000X more likely that he harbors an anti Trump bias and is in awe of her courage to ignore her duties as Deputy AG because of her political convictions.

I’m not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

In light of his past performance I wouldn't either.

Most prosecutors are conservative and vote Republican.

I mean what did we really expect when Mueller staffed his team with nothing but Obama and Clinton donors everywhere?

This is a partisan witch hunt and Mueller needs to be shut down now.

So praising Someone for their integrity is anti-trump? On second thought, I guess it is.

I don't imagine most federal prosecutors are big fans of Trump or his team.
