According to the Republicans, this was a clear violation of the law. "Around the same time Johnson violated the Tenure of Office act by removing Stanton and not receiving the Senate's approval. With these two violations committed by Johnson the Judiciary Committee voted to submit a report recommending impeachment."7

After Mueller’s indictment of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates on Monday, many Americans have begun to wonder what Mueller’s next move will be. A look into what Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between the Russians and Donald Trump is currently doing also may have came into focus on Monday. Trump’s former foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos admitted to making false statements to FBI agents about making attempts to set up meetings between Trump campaign and Russian officials. Papadopoulos is now giving Mueller information about other people that may have been involved in collusion or that violated federal law. The fact that Manafort is being indicted at the moment means that he likely did not talk like Papadopoulos. Trump still won’t necessarily be indicted, but these recent indictments mean that this is only the start for Mueller, not the end as Trump hoped.

Donald Trump has been under investigation because of possible obstruction of justice, saying that he is a victim of a “witch hunt”. Robert Mueller of the special counsel is investigating the president for obstruction of justice. The witch hunt had started with Donald Trump fired former FBI director James Comey on May 9th. Mr Comey had told the Senate Intelligence Committee, that he believed President Trump had fired him to undermine the FBI’s Russia probe. The obstruction of justice investigation into Mr Trump had started a few days after Mr Comey was fired. Mueller is currently two major lines of investigation.

Whatever he did in actuality, even if downright illegal and unethical, is whatever. In totality, whatever happened with – and now to – him can be tabled.

Comey has a lot of enemies in Washington, DC and the President and Attorney General Jeff Sessions may well have viewed his recent error-filled testimony -- in which he misstated by a huge order of magnitude the number of Hillary Clinton emails Huma Abedin had forwarded to her husband, Anthony Wiener -- as the cover they were looking for to fire him at minimal political cost.

They have filed law suits against him and demanded he be impeached for allegations of collusion!

Paul Manafort is currently facing twelve felony counts, including money laundering, conspiracy and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. According to the indictment, which was unsealed on Monday, the pair engaged in covert lobbying work for pro-Russian interests in Ukraine. Andrew McCarthy, best known for prosecuting the 1993 World Trade Center bombing case, is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney that wrote on National Review Online Monday that the indictment was "much ado about nothing ... except as a vehicle to squeeze Manafort." In an addition to his original article in which he published Wednesday, McCarthy noted that the indictment does not accuse Manafort or Gates of tax law felonies or fraud. (Yoo) But as I will lay out for you in

Scandals from the Senate happen often and infringe upon representation. These scandals emerge from Senators breaking or not following certain rules of becoming a Senator. The types of scandals involved in the senate have various ways of undermining the acute portion of representation that is noted within the confines of becoming a Senator. Although the appointment process has proven, as previously

James Comey had no real pleasant choice or option to make for the reason being that both of his options would leave him in the bad. Technically, there was no “right” choice but in my opinion I do not believe he made the right decision. It is so close to election day for this to be happening that it seriously has the potential to cost Hillary Clinton the election. This whole scandal can lower her numbers and chances of winning the election. Because of this perhaps some undeclared voters may commit to Donald Trump, causing his voter percentage to increase. Many people believe that Hillary Clinton is not fit to be president and is untrustworthy because of these emails. The swing states will be significant towards outcome of this election. Some

spoke openly about the affair, claims he did not do justice, and explains why he confessed in court to the bribery charges.

On Nov. 22, Sessions issued a memo giving the FBI and the Bureau of ATF 60 days to look into reports that the U.S. military and other agencies failed to relay information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (Nics). He highlighted the importance of the Nics database in preventing firearms-related incidents of violence, The Guardian detailed.

Identify and discuss the ethical issues for the attorney and paralegals above. What would you recommend Charles the attorney employer do in this situation? Does Susan have any moral obligations in the above scenario?

In a memo he acknowledged "we do not ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations". But he said he felt an "obligation" to do so given that he had previously testified that the FBI investigation was complete.

The left uses emotional biases, and lack of facts too sway their own opinion. The author of the article makes it clear that she disagrees with the criticism, Jeff Sessions had on the matter, and isn't too fond of Sessions herself, saying, "I am embarrassed to have this man acting as our country's attorney general" (Bagby). Clearly emotional,
