Walnut Creek, CA – On Friday, Congressman Mark DeSaulnier (CA-11) issued the following statement in response to the unconstitutional appointment of Matthew Whitaker to oversee Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
“Donald Trump bypassed the Senate’s advice and consent role by appointing Matthew Whitaker to oversee the Mueller probe without Senate approval. In doing so, the President is attempting to erode the checks and balances laid out in our Constitution. I, along with my Democratic colleagues, am prepared and ready to fight this troubling move. It is time to protect the rule of law, Constitution, and our country from this illegal and unconstitutional act by the President of the United States. In the interim, Matthew Whitaker must recuse himself from the Mueller investigation and adhere to any recommendations made by the independent Office of Government Ethics.”
DeSaulnier is a sponsor of the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act (H.R. 5476), authored by House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerry Nadler (D-NY), which would limit President Trump’s ability to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller and interfere in the Russian election meddling investigation. Senators Tillis, Coons, Booker, and Graham have introduced bipartisan companion legislation in the Senate.

Orange Chump couldn’t even visit the WWI memorial because of “poor weather”. He’s such a coward. Just a spoiled brat who has temper tantrums when things don’t go his way. That’s our “commander in chief”? What a disgrace. Can’t wait for him to get impeached.
What “ORANGE” chump? It’s not my fault if you don’t know how to adjust the color on the TV! The chopper would not fly in bad weather and a drive to the area east of Paris to the cemetery is a very long one. Yes! He is our Commander-in-Chief and a damned good one. Why don’t you hold your breath until he’s “impeached!” He will be reelected in 2020. So you can just eat it, Henry! I bet you voted for Obongo!
He can golf in the rain but can’t honor the troops in the rain? You’re excuses for him are pathetic, like his excuse in dodging the draft. He can dodge joining the military but can’t take the effort to honor them? That’s no commander, that’s a coward. A spoiled brat that he’s always been.
Plus, talking about adjusting the color on a TV shows you’re stuck in the 20th century, no one does that anymore…
Have you ever been in the Paris area, or anywhere in France for that matter, when there is a rain storm? I bet you haven’t. This is not like it rains in California .. a few measly drops here and there. It POURS in France. Everything stops! And . . . maybe there are other reasons he didn’t fly out or drive to that cemetery — ever think of that?
You’re full of excuses like him when he dodged the draft. You guys always act like liberals are the soft ones, while rain kept him from honoring the vets, and after 4 school deferments while playing sports in college, on his last chance he has “bone spurs”. Trump is a snowflake who’s never sacrificed anything, and uses a golden toilet. If you identify with that, then go ahead.
Jerry … Trump didn’t “dodge” any draft. He was examined by a MILITARY DOCTOR and found to be DISQUALIFIED! Is that too difficult for you to understand? You’re just JEALOUS of Trump because he is one of THE most successful people in this country, while you have to raid people’s trash cans for recyclables.
BULLPUCKY! I have a new 60″ TV and it sure as hell DOES have a color adjustment feature. You’re full of it, Jerry!
Elizabeth, maybe you bought a knockoff from Walmart, but I have an LG 4K TV, and Trump is still orange on it. Sorry to break it to you, the man looks like he’s turning into a basketball.
Hey Freddie Sanchez, I’ve never even set foot into any WALMART! By the way, Trump is PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA while you stay home and watch your LG 4K. So, who’s the winner here?
God! I can’t STAND liberal, bleeding-heart jerkoffs!
I hate liberals as well and being divided away from them just suits me fine. I want nothing to do with them.
Actually, the reason President Trump did not visit the cemetery was because of personal safety issue discovered by the Secret Service and this was brought up by a few French news sources. The Secret Service handles a president’s schedule.
Impeached? ROFLMAO! Hold your breath until it’s done! CYou keep forgetting that we have the SENATE … maybe you should learn how impeachment works. We also have the SUPREME COURT and pretty soon Trump will make Ruthie “an offer she cannot refuse” and off she goes. Trump can actually appoint 3 more justices to make the total number 11! It can be done as long as the number remains odd.
“Orange Chump?” Are you referring to his hair, Henry? At least Trump has real hair unlike the previous White House occupier who has VALCRO covering his scalp.
You Trump haters are so ignorant. He has done more for our veterans than the last ten presidents. In half the time. You must be the same idiots that voted to keep the gas tax. Dumb ass socialists.

Socialism = communism. Today’s dems are intent on destroying what is left of the country. America will soon be a third world craphole just like california is today. Stupid liberals allowing human garbage to ruin their once beautiful state.
Since Nixon…
