“One source told ABC News that Sessions was not aware of the investigation when he decided to fire McCabe last Friday less than 48 hours before McCabe”

He's not aware of too many things...

“noting he has considered himself a Republican all his life.”

But his wife is the favorite of Terry McAuliffe. Yeah, sure.

Dirty cop being dirty.

Finally, so this is why Sessions recused himself.

The deep state has been after anyone of integrity.

I sure hope that DOG IG Horowitz has the good s on Mueller and McCable

Sessions is such an incompetent POS he doesn’t know what day it is. He’d ask Rosenweasel if he really had to know.

“Oh, because they made up the whole Russia collusion thing and forgot to do any investigating.”

Correct and therefore Sessions recused himself from something he knew did not exist.

Considering oneself a member of either party or registering as one doesn’t mean diddly squat.

Did the investigation begin at the request of a Congresscritter?

Because they told him to recuse himself. Then they investigated him. Just wow.

“Well that explains why, after nearly a year and one-half, Jeffie “Do Nothing” Sessions FINALLY did something by firing McCabe.”

But only after OPR made the recommendation. Otherwise, the guy is just doing lazy eights.

Or rather, which came first? McCabe’s investigation or Sessions’ recusal?

The FBI is rancid, and no, I’m not excluding the “brave and hard-working men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe”. And please stop saying that, HANNITY.

Which would have remained hidden if Hillary Clinton had become President.

Thank God she didn’t.

According to the article, Franken and Leahey. The article only lists "unnamed sources" and is more FAKE NEWS from ABC "news".
