We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and fate but strong in will
To strive to seek to find and not to yield.

It is irritating when someone who knows nothing about the United States and its government continues to post nonsense.
And that goes for his 'understanding' of Europe before, during and after War II.We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and fate but strong in will
To strive to seek to find and not to yield.

The same for the director of the FBI .
If the president is not satisfied with the AG, the AG will be fired .
The same for the chief of the FBI .

Put him on ignore. There are many people here who I sometimes disagree with, but we can occasionally come to a consensus, which keeps it interesting. But if someone just keeps repeating the same party line, it's useless to even interact with them.

In the US there a couple of roles that the FBI and AG are not to follow the direction of the president.
ie when it comes to enforcing the law or conducting investigations.
The president gets to set overall policy at a strategic level but the AG and FBI director main duty is to the law. The president does not get to micromanage things especially things which may be of a political nature.
Now if the AG is not following the strategic direction then the AG can be fired but not over a specific investigation. Unless they screwed up the investigation ie got people killed.

Wrong!
If an FBI director (or any other investigator) is fired to impede an investigation, the president can be impeached for obstruction of justice.Last edited by pamak; 10 Aug 17, 16:06.My most dangerous mission: I landed in the middle of an enemy tank battalion and I immediately, started spraying bullets killing everybody around me having fun up until my computer froze...
