On October 20, 1973, President Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Special Counsel Archibald Cox, but both men refused and resigned their posts in protest. The role of attorney general then fell to Solicitor General Robert Bork, who complied with Nixon’s request and dismissed Cox. 2. The two indictments against the Russians were Feb 2018 and July 2018 (not June & July 2018).<br> <br> Curious about impeachable offenses? Here they are: SECTION 4. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.<br> <br> Which one is you? 1. You know what you know and you don’t want to hear from people who don’t get it. 2. You have more important things to do and think about. 3. You’re fed up and disgusted...with it all...with our countries leaders, the system, everything. 4. You’re fascinated with politics and the Mueller Report is, at least, somewhat interesting.<br> <br> How should we think about the hierarchy of laws in the US?<br> <br> <a href="https://beckisaltzman.com/aclr-what-does-the-mueller-report-really-mean/hierarchy-of-laws-in-the-united-states-copy/" rel="attachment wp-att-5777"></a><br> <br> Why do we have this Mueller Report?<br> <br> What's the difference between conspiracy, collusion, and coordination? What about complicity?<br> <br> What are "rocks in the wheelbarrow"?<br> <br> Why can't a US President be indicted...or can they?<br> <br> How can we think about the two parts of The Mueller Report?<br> <br> Did the Russians hack our brains? Did they hack your brain?<br> <br> Are we in a constitutional crisis?<br> References<br> <a href="https://www.kimwehle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimberly Wehle</a><br> <br> <a href="https://thebulwark.com/author/kimwehle/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimberly Wehle in The Bulwark</a><br> <br> <a href="https://twitter.com/kim_wehle?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimberly Wehle on Twitter</a><br> <br> <a href="https://thehill.com/social-tags/kim-wehle" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimberly Wehle in The Hill</a><br>
