On their website, the CNN story about this says that they have some sources describing this as mutual and others describing it as forced.

I mean, since he is "stepping down" it must be mutual to some extent. He could refuse and then they'd have to fire him.

My guess is that, since he has enough accumulated leave to use vacation days between now and his original retirement date, Wray decided he wasn't going to stand up to the pressure coming from Trump and Sessions anymore, and so this is the compromise they reached.

Trump gets to feel like this was a win, even though he failed in his attempt to steal McCabe's rightfully earned retirement and even though this doesn't affect Mueller's investigation at all.

The ones that have the economy booming, so more jobs are being created so more people have jobs.

2017 was the worst year since 2011 for job creation.

I think you misunderstood what the letter was saying or how the gang of eight works there buddy.

Nope.

Seeking Committee approval of public release would require HPSCI committee members to vote on a staff drafted memorandum that purports to be based on classified source materials that neither you nor most of them have seen.

---

If Nunes has seen the source material, he's a fricking idiot for not refuting this claim as loudly and publicly as possible.

Nunes is the one that combed through the "classified material" over many months to assemble the cliff's notes version of it all,

:rotflmao:

He wrote the memo based on stuff he and his staff heard in briefings. He hasn't seen the classified info himself, and Trump's own DOJ Assistant AG appointee confirmed as much in his letter.

How difficult is it to get below 4% unemployment

---

According to Trump, the unemployment numbers are fake. Also according to Trump, job creation under Obama was terrible and he was going to fix it. I don't think his idea of "fixing" it was drastically slowing the rate of job creation.

The burden should be on Mueller to demonstrate the necessity of questioning the president in any form, not on the president to provide reasons for not submitting to questioning. Being president is reason enough.

---

That'd play better if Trump hadn't publicly said twice that he'd be happy to talk to Mueller under oath.

Does he regret appointing the Assistant Attorney General who sent a letter to Nunes calling him reckless for thinking about releasing the memo and pointing out that Nunes hasn't even seen the classified material that the memo purports to be based on?

what comes next after that POS soros dies?

Nothing big changed because Soros isn’t even that high on the list of individual political donors in the US.

Soros is an easy target for Reps to paint as a scary, horned jew because their base eats that stuff up. But he’s given far more money to promote democracy and capitalism in former soviet republics than he has to American politicians and political organizations.

Sad how they’ve got you all foaming at the mouth and fantasizing about a cruel and painful death for a man who’s done nothing to you.

How many Republicans have vowed to give all campaign funds raised by Wynn to charity?

Where is Sean Spicer to express his outrage over the Republican silence on this like he did with Dems and Weinstein (who didn’t even hold an official position with the DNC).

If this is true why would anybody break their NDA? It makes no sense. I would bet HRC or some democrat paid Stormy way more to say this...

:confused:

She hasn't broken the agreement since she signed it. She confirmed the affair in interviews she gave PRIOR to receiving the hush money. Trump is just so dumb he allowed himself to be blackmailed by someone who had ALREADY spilled the beans to InTouch in an interview back in 2011.

InTouch didn't publish it in 2011 because Trump threatened to sue and no one gave a shite about Trump then anyway, so they figured it wasn't worth the hassle of defending the story in court.
