Morning Schmo says Graham to be AG

Sessions reminds me of Gen George McClelland.

Trump needs to ask if he can borrow the DOJ if he doesn’t intend on using it.

quote:

---

He's already said he is leaving Congress.

Trey Gowdy is going to the private sector.

Trust me on this one.

I don't want to see the new AG selected from any of the Senate. Repubs barely have a majority now. Look what happened when Sessions gave up his seat. It's now held by a Democrat.

This all day.

Plus we need more senators like newly based Lindsey

His newfound wokeness is why we need to keep his arse in the Senate working on Trump’s legislative agenda.

We need a reformer and a prosecutor in the AG’s office who is not beholden to the Federal Government inside Washington.

We need Rudy. Or Christie. Makes no difference to me which one. So long as the sole focus of the end of Trump’s first term is bringing the people that violated FISA to justice.

Graham is still a swamp rat.

The next AG has to be someone from the outside.

Graham didn't deny this. I wouldn't trust him. I think he would cover it all up as the clean up man and allow only enough info out that let's Trump off the hook. But the treasonous sedition will be made to go away FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY.

Sounds like a GOPe/Trump negotiated deal...

christy is a sell out, he got on his knees and begged to blow obozo, we dont want or need a man like that in a position of power "ever"

rudy should get it with a clear mandate to go scorched earth perp walking 98% of the washington DOJ if need be but everyone who worked to hurt trump as well as anyone who saw it going on and did nothing about it, they all need to go

Graham: So when somebody says, post-9/11, that we’d been at war, and it’s called the War on Terrorism, do you generally agree with that concept?

Kavanaugh: I do, senator, because Congress passed the authorization for use of military force, which is still in effect. That was passed, of course, on September 14, 2001, three days later.

Graham: Let’s talk about the law and war. Is there a body of law called the law of armed conflict?

Kavanaugh: There is such a body, senator.

Graham: A body of law that’s called basic criminal law?

Kavanaugh: Yes, senator.

Graham: Are there differences between those two bodies of law?

Kavanaugh: Yes, senator.

Graham: From an American citizen’s point of view, do your constitutional rights follow you? If you’re in Paris, does the Fourth Amendment protect you as an American from your own government?

Kavanaugh: From your own government, yes.

Graham: So, if you’re in Afghanistan, do your constitutional rights protect you against your own government?

Kavanaugh: If you’re an American in Afghanistan, you have constitutional rights as against the U.S. government.

Graham: Isn’t there also a long settled law that goes back to the Eisentrager case (I can’t remember the name of it)….

Kavanaugh: Johnson v. Eisentrager.

Graham: Right, that American citizens who collaborate with the enemy are considered enemy combatants?

Kavanaugh: They can be, they’re often, sometimes criminally prosecuted, sometimes treated in the military.

Graham: Let’s talk about can be. I think there’s a Supreme Court decision that said that American citizens who collaborated with Nazi saboteurs were tried by the military, is that correct?

Kavanaugh: That is correct.

Graham: I think a couple of them were executed.

Kavanaugh: Yeah.

Graham: So, if anybody doubts there’s a longstanding history in this country that your constitutional rights follow you wherever you go, but you don’t have a constitutional right to turn on your own government and collaborate with the enemy of the nation. You’ll be treated differently. What’s the name of the case, if you can recall, that reaffirmed the concept that you can hold one of our own as an enemy combatant if they were engaged in terrorist activities in Afghanistan. Are you familiar with that case?

Kavanaugh: Yes, Hamdi [v. Rumsfeld].

Graham: So the bottom line is on every American citizen know you have constitutional rights, but you do not have a constitutional right to collaborate with the enemy. There is a body of law well developed long before 9/11 that understood the difference between basic criminal law and the law of armed conflict. Do you understand those difference?

Kavanaugh: I do understand that there are different bodies of law of course, senator.

If I were John Kerry, I would be nervous about that exchange.

Granted, Kerry is so clueless he probably doesn’t think his talks with the Iranian government were a problem.

THIS.

Why does no one ever talk about Joe DiGenova taking the AG spot?
