      Jamie Gorelick’s comment to @ZoeTillman re: this @Walmart job being an offer Rachel Brand didn’t seek out, but can’t refuse, is consistent with what I’ve heard in conservative legal circles.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/962108912546742272 …

      That is *precisely* why this is worrisome--did the White House ask Walmart to do them a solid & make sure they ! fewer person to fire come "Saturday Night?"* * As in "Saturday Night Massacre." A series of firings to unseat Mueller needn't occur on a literal Saturday to qualify.

      I’m not a Trump fan as you know, but this might be a bit too far for me as a conspiracy theory, Jeff! (Caveat: it’s Trumpworld, I rule nothing out, you might be proven right in the fullness of time.)

          If you think "what would Nixon 2.0 do" -- which I suspect, e.g., Roger Stone does (given his tattoo) -- it's a more graceful massacre. I'd love to know if Walmart is paying her noticably more than her predecessor in the position.

          One more point -- Walmart has been doing *yeomans* dishonest work selling the Trump tax cut (referenced here: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/12/wal-mart-pay-increase-tax-boost-216307 … ) to the public. The idea that Walmart would try to help is a proven theory, the question is whether this is another example of it.

          If you wanted to protect Trump, you would make sure people aren't investigating him. It doesn't need to be a conspiracy
