[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Gulp.

Buckle up.

We all saw this coming, but still could mean some crazy things ahead.

[Wintryjade]

3. Trying to push shit thru before Pelosi and Democrats take over?

4. Wow

Mueller, do your stuff NOW!

[LonePirate]

5. Sure, if by resigns you mean fired. Graham must be salivating at the prospect of taking the job.

12. Probably waiting with bated breath

Then Trump with screw him over and poor Lindsey will be left with scraps. Where aee Rogers and Hammerstein to write the musical?

6. Here we go...

7. Doesn't the new one have to be confirmed?

[NewJeffCT]

13. depends on where they come from

if he transfers over somebody already in the administration, they can stay there a while.

[Polybius]

15. Yes, by the Senate

This one is only temp. For the real one, if he nominates a nut, it’ll be easier to get confirmation if they wait for the new Senate in January, since they picked up seats.

8. Battle statons everyone!

All hands on deck! Don your plastic ponchos and goggles, girls and boys, fasten your seatbelts!

[Glimmer of Hope]

9. Hmm. What will happen next?

[demmiblue]

10. And he didn't have the backbone to bring it up at his press meeting.

Always by tweet.

[Pope George Ringo II]

11. Bets the next one will be better?

Or will the next one just start trying to screw up the Mueller investigation?

I know where my money is going on that one.

[Roland99]

14. Well, isn't this going to be fun??

[panader0]

16. So Jeff gets to just walk away---

never having to pay for his perjury?

[manor321]

19. Well, now he is even less protected

Mueller can now call him as a witness easily since he is just a citizen now.

Assuming Mueller's investigation isn't shut down.

17. Whitaker is an Iowa

It does not bode well that he authored the following paper.

On August 6th, 2017, one month prior to joining the Justice Department, Whitaker wrote an opinion column for CNN titled "Mueller's investigation of Trump is going too far."[13]

18. You know when you get to the top of that first drop on a roller coaster?

Buckle up, my babies.

[VOX]

20. "Dear Mr. President, at your request I am submitting my resignation."

Sounds like a good old firing to me.

[Corgigal]

21. When Trump feels pain,

he must hurt others. Just like an abusive spouse. He has to aim at someone.

Not that the Mueller team isn't aware.
