    Nixon had General Haig, as chief of staff, order Atty. Genl. Richardson & Dep. AG Ruckelshaus to fire the special prosecutor, Archibald Cox.

        One interesting difference is that Nixon, while corrupt, was not a flaming, drooling, lunatic bent on destroying the nation.

        He's insulating himself with Mattis, McMaster, & now, Kelly. Using their principles of following a chain of command to his advantage.

        Interesting. Do you think @POTUS brought in a general because, as military, he is used to following orders, including firing @JeffSessions?

        ABC's Jonathan Karl said it's possible Sessions will replace Kelly at DHS, that opens up the AG slot & it won't look connected to Russia 😞

        Robert Bork, Solicitor General, carried out order 2 fire Cox. Dems beat him to a pulp when he was SCOTUS nominee because of it.
