And #3 on DOJ succession, Dana Buente, just resigned...

Here's the clincher. Dana Buente wasn't planning to resign. He was likely forced out.

Without Buente, the succession jumps to the next appointed US Attorneys for NC & TX. lawfareblog.com/if-attorney-ge…

Less is known about John Stuart Bruce (NC) & John R. Parker (TX) but will be names we should watch very closely in the coming days.

There are two very important things we all need to do to protect Mueller:

Call your MoC. Ask them to protect Mueller & if he's fired, to reauthorize the independent counsel statute.
