Sessions told White House that Rosenstein’s firing could prompt his departure, too
Washington Post ^

Posted on 04/20/2018 4:12:28 PM PDT by Magnatron

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange.

Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn last weekend, as Trump’s fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBI’s raid April 9 on the president’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.

You’re the one with the word “Fantasy” in your screen name. Your use of the term “abusive ad hominem” is not even appropriate in the context you’re using it. It has nothing to do with the comment I made.

By all means, fire Rosenstein. Or just say “Rumplestiltskin.” And poof goes Sessions.

I’m all for happy endings.

Are you serious? Or are you clueless as to the meaning of, ‘Abusive ad hominem,’? What you posted was the very definition of it.

AND it’s the best Sessions fans can do. That’s why it’s so typical.

Sessions should win an award for the all-time masquerade of a political supporter.

What a JERK!!!!

I still cannot stop remembering how he got up on stage at an Alabama Trump rally and “donned” a MAGA cap.

Please let Rudy Giuliani be our new AG asap!!

That’s what I say............recon’ Sessions doesn’t want Rottenstain to be fired cause if he is Sessions will have to do his own job instead of somebody else doing it for him since Sessions probably doesn’t have a clue........

Well...
...bye.


Keep in mind the treasonous GOP Senate just took 8 MONTHS to confirm a NASA nominee. They’ll take just as long to do an AG if Sessions is gone and won’t confirm a solid choice at all.

POTUS needs to declare war on the GOPe and threaten to burn it down, IMO. They are aiding and abetting the Mueller coup. The swamp can’t be drained until the GOP is dealt with.

Washington Post, unnamed sources, bull$hit story.


Sorry, there is nothing BS about the proven fact that Rosenstein hid the exculpatory Comey memoes from Congress for ONE YEAR.

That Sessions has not fired and or asked POTUS to fire Rosenstein for that alone is criminal.

Burn it down. Now. Put the hot potato in the GOP’s lap and start organizing the frame work of a third party.
