    Oh, it ca be answered. You just wont like the answer. But try looking up 18 USC Official Misconduct.


    Malfeasance in office - Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malfeasance_in_office
    Malfeasance in office, or official misconduct, is the commission of an unlawful act, done in an official capacity, which affects the performance of official duties.


    It shouldn't confuse any leftist. Just sayin.

    Yet you were looking for a specific law. Now that one has been put in front of you. You have no response. Just sayin!

    Although, surprised, not I am.

    Does the Yoda English help you out?

    I was looking for a SPECIFIC law, yes. What you posted isn't that specific law. I was asking a previous poster to show the law he claimed to have found that says that a civil servant accused of wrong-doing could be IMMEDIATELY dismissed with no chance to mount a defense. You referred me to a definition of malfeasance, a bizarre response. We all know what malfeasance is, and we all know that in this country a person accused of malfeasance is supposed to have the opportunity and ample time to mount a defense. The fact that you have located a definition of malfeasance doesn't change that. Do you understand?

    I'd venture a guess you'll have to do your own homework. My guess is the Director a well as the Deputy Director are both "appointed" positions and NOT part of the civil service, who does have strict guidelines and defenses. I did a stint in government once, I know what I'm talking about. Trump fired Comey with no notice at all. I suspect those are not "GS" positions, when you move into management, different rules apply.

    I actually was kind enough to give you a definition in easy to identify terms for leftists.

    Malfeasance is the term used in denoting, Official Misconduct. Of course you can show us how in the course of an Official capacity. Why one cannot be immediately removed over that Misconduct.

    You're overly determined to define everything as Republican versus Democrat, and vice versa, but the law transcends political parties, or should, and the guilty in either party must face the consequences if the law is broken.

    As well, Rosenstring, Mueller and Comey have a close relationship going back quite a number years. By appointing Mueller, who had earlier applied to Trump to be head of the FBI, there are certainly suggestions of a conflict of interest. They are all swamp dwellers.

    Now you're referring me to a law about the duties of a grand jury! How can you be so far off the point? No grand jury was summoned to hear the McAbe case. He was immediately dismissed without that procedure.

    If I had realized from the beginning that you have no idea what I was asking, I wouldn't have wasted my time reading the inapplicable websites to which you have referred me.

    Don't bother referring me to any more irrelevant statues or legal definitions. We could spend all day going in circles without your ever understanding my question and continuously giving me to websites that are not germane.

    Yeah I forgot Official Misconduct would throw you for a loop, and you wouldn't be able to find it in 18USC Crimes and Procedures. :roll:

    "The mission of the National War College is to educate future leaders of the Armed Forces, State Department, and other civilian agencies for high-level policy, command, and staff responsibilities."

    The Sec'y of State must understand the maximum force available to kill people and break things. They also must understand how that can happen here.

    I have seen no official report in regard to the status of the obstruction of justice matter. Whatever evidence the Trump Justice Department's Republican Special Counsel had developed in that regard has not been leaked.

    Again, if unlike Ryan, Gowdy and so many other Republican office holders, you are eager to see the Trump Justice Department's Republican Special Counsel fired before he has a chance to complete his mission, what do you believe prevents the Trump from firing him?

    I suspect he only lost a small percentage of his retirement.

    Leaks regarding the Special Councils investigation of obstruction of justice by the Trump administration have been pretty constant from the Muellar investigation. The absence of any evidence being leaked is probably due to them not yet finding any evidence.

    And Comey. Mcabe says Comey authorized his leaks to the press and Comey has testified to Congress that he did not. I tend to believe Mcabe on that point.

    No one can know whether Putin's covert efforts on Trump's behalf was decisive in the election. Personally, I do not think that it was.

    Since Gowdy, along wth Speaker Ryan and other prominent Republicans have insisted that the Trump Justice Department's Republican Special Counsel be allowed to complete his investigation based upon the incomplete information they have, they may hope that it is exculpatory for the Trump, but, in any event, the pursuit of truth by the Trump Justice Department's Republican Special Counsel is a vital patriotic mission, whatever his findings. The integrity of our elective process is far too important to allow partisan interests to quash it.

    Zealots, in the absence of documented facts, know many things, all of which comport with their agenda, of course.

    If you are upset that a right-wing media jihad and years of Republican-run inquisitions has not contrived a single pretext to indict Hillary Clinton, let alone to "Lock her up! Lock her up!", attacking the Constitutional right to due process is not the proper recourse.

    Compose yourself. Stay calm, Breathe deeply. Attune yourself to reality.

    Have a nice cup of tea and a warm, buttered scone.

    Correct. He will not be able to draw on it for a few more years.
    The "stripped of his retirement" stories are all Fake News.

    You express my sentiment. Republicans Mueller and all the Republicans who support his being allowed to complete his patriotic mission are not driven by Party affiliation, but by a love of country. Partisan concerns are trivial in that context.

    If the media speculation concerning the Trump Justice Department's Republican Special Counsel's focus upsets you, you may do well to await the completion of his mission and the issuance of his findings. Fretting over what he may be looking into is futile.
