      Presidential appointees can be fired by the president. This has been the case for 231 years.https://twitter.com/brhodes/status/1274180078872625152 …

      The U.S. would not be viewed as a full democracy by a pre-Trump U.S. government. People like Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio know this and they debase themselves every single day to enable it. https://twitter.com/eorden/status/1274178463881146370 …

      Announcing that a guy has resigned when you're actually firing him is a pretty inept move (what, he wasn't gonna tell anybody?), but it is not the end of democracy in America. Get a grip.

          At any rate, this seems like yet another fight that will consume a huge amount of public energy on Trump's behalf, to no benefit to his re-election, no benefit to any public policy, & no benefit to his party. But other than that...

          Does Trump have a plan to make all of this work out in his favor? Unlikely!

          The lesson Trump seems to have taken from the past week is that a regular process & competent staff work are not important in case a legal fight ends up being decided by Chief Justice Roberts.

          This is a tricky one because Seasions appointed him as interim US Atty and then SDNY judges appointed him pursuant to statute

          Can Barr fire him if he was appointed by the judges? Yes?

          The fact that they announced it via press release before notifying him is gross

          He was appointed as acting attorney but then installed by the judges in the district according to law when Trump didn’t officially nominate him or anyone else.

          It’s certainly not the end of democracy in America. But it’s not a great indicator of the current health of said democracy, either.

          But it is the end of his term. The phrase “ Serving at the discretion of the President” is pretty clear on that.
