It is impossible to read Attorney General Sessions’ firing as anything other than another blatant attempt by @realDonaldTrump to undermine & end Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation.

— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) November 7, 2018

President Trump just removed Jeff Sessions. He wants an Attorney General to serve his interest, not the public.

Mueller's investigation and the independence of the DOJ must be protected. Whitaker and any nominee must commit to doing both.

We will protect the rule of law.

Matthew Whitaker, who Trump has tapped to replace Jeff Sessions, will oversee the Mueller's investigation, which Whittaker has said was "going too far" and risked becoming a "mere witch hunt"https://t.co/NzZ6BxkcHl

The politicization of the rule of law is an incredibly dangerous thing. Trump has been threatening to investigate his political enemies for a while now. Now he has an AG who might act on those impulses. pic.twitter.com/XOxUVajb68

Agree, ⁦⁦@RonaldKlain⁩: instead of insta-investigations and subpoena mania, introduce bills to raise the minimum wage to $15, strengthen ACA, restore the Voting Rights Act, massively rebuild infrastructure, and grant legal status to DACA Dreamers. https://t.co/7LX7CziKe6
