Literally Brand stepping makes things super complicated.
I can NOT figure out why Brand would step down, unless @realDonaldTrump wants her to , so he can use this pic.twitter.com/3ulsSOObQD

5) now this brings us to the EO I cited 6 hours ago.— Alt_SeanSpicer'sMicππ€¦π»♀️π (@Alt_Spicerlies) February 10, 2018
Executive Order 13787 of March 31, 2017
Providing an Order of Succession Within the Department of Justice
This is the SECOND EO Trump signed re DOJ
Also published in the Federal Register, see link.https://t.co/CcdvgdvQPK pic.twitter.com/U2aOZmCuJN
6) here’s the White House link to EO 13787 re DOJ— Alt_SeanSpicer'sMicππ€¦π»♀️π (@Alt_Spicerlies) February 10, 2018
This is important when an Executive Order is published in the Federal Register “legal newspaper published” every business day per the National Archives Act
So the DOJ spox is with zero fuzz, wrong https://t.co/82r1vJhbY6
2 plausible explanations:— Alt_SeanSpicer'sMicππ€¦π»♀️π (@Alt_Spicerlies) February 10, 2018
1) DOJ spox doesn’t know about the 2 EOs
2) Trump premeditated this change in DOJ Succession
π¨ it is in fact his deadman’s switch to shut Mueller down. ask yourself:
-why didn’t Trump make a big show of signing these EOs?
-why was EO 13775 deleted?
And my finally thought:— Alt_SeanSpicer'sMicππ€¦π»♀️π (@Alt_Spicerlies) February 10, 2018
Noel John Francisco, Solicitor Genera, was a Sr partner at Jones Day.ππ»YUGE conflict.
Meaning if Trump had NOT changed the DOJ line of successionFrancisco would likely have to recuse.
Trump isn’t dumb. He thought this out, hence the 2 DOJ EOs succession
